If your little cowboys and cowgirls are looking for some authentic Wild West Fun, be sure to check out Rockin’ R Ranch in Mesa.
Open for generations, Rockin’ R Ranch is a real pioneer ranch owned by Big Jim and Sweet Mary Robson. Big Jim’s great, great-grandfather, Charles Innes Robson I, was one of the original founders of Mesa and his influence is still felt today, kept alive by Rockin’ R Ranch.
The Ranch features live shows, including music from eclectic groups as well as a down-home feast of Dutch-oven biscuits, beef and beans. Big Jim, Sweet Mary and their children have performed countless shows and their show, “The Arizona Cowboy,” is seen weekly throughout the U.S. and Canada.
If you’re really into the whole Wild West theme, Rockin’ R Ranch is also home to the Ponderosa Gardens and Reception Centre, purposefully built for weddings. You can have a true southwestern feel to your wedding as your surrounded by lush plants, natural waterfalls and the pleasant sounds of ponds and streams.
The Ranch is popular among kids and field trips, company events and bus tours are also held at the ranch. With activitites like building a tepee, having a bbq chicken dinner, witnessing a gunfight, etc., it’s easy to see why this place is such a hit with people of all ages.
