Tickets & Pricing
Ticket prices vary depending on the experience. Visit the individual experience page for the most up-to-date pricing, availability, and ticket options.
Yes! We offer group discounts for folks with a wagon full of twenty or more guests paid in one transaction. Visit the Groups page for more info.
Of course! Gift certificates can be purchased online, at the ticket window on the ranch, or by calling our reservation line at 1-800-937-8643.
We proudly support the United States Armed Forces and happily offer discounts to card-holding (active or retired) service members. Ask when you place your reservation over the phone or at the ticket booth.
Admission is the same whether or not you eat — it covers the western town, Wood ‘n’ West gallery, dinner, and the show. If you only want the show, or want to leave after activities, that’s fine — but the price is the same for everyone.
Included in admission: Ropin’, axe throwing, shooting gallery, and the museum.
Pay as you go: Old-Tyme Photo Studio, Cowboy Hat Making, 9-Hole Putt-Putt Golf, and Escape Room.
Food & Dining
Our food does not contain nut products. Some ingredients may have come from a factory where nuts were used. The Copper Spur Saloon does serve popcorn on request — there’s a warning sign by the door.
Almost all of our food is gluten-free except cornbread, gravy, and mac & cheese — and we offer a gluten-free dessert! Please let us know when making your reservation. Because we serve a set menu, we allow guests to bring in necessary food at no reduction in ticket cost.
Yes! We offer mixed greens with a grilled portobello mushroom alternative in place of chicken and ribs. Please request it when making your reservation so our chuckwagon chefs can prep it for you.
Yes. While we accommodate certain dietary needs, we can’t always suit them all. Feel free to bring food of your choosing and supplement with set menu items you can eat. The ticket cost is the same regardless.
Our chuckwagon supper comes lightly seasoned with a small amount of BBQ sauce — you can request it without. The amount of additional BBQ sauce is up to you!
Your Chuckwagon Dinner comes with complimentary iced tea, lemonade, coffee, and water. You can also purchase beverages at our full-service Copper Spur Saloon or at the bar during dinner.
Planning Your Visit
Western wear is not required, but encouraged! Wear something comfortable and weather-appropriate with comfortable walking shoes — the frontier town is an outdoor attraction. We recommend a coat (except in summer) as it can get nippy along the Verde River, which runs about 10° cooler than town.
All guests — with or without reservations — must check in at the ticket booth upon arrival. This is how seating is arranged and dinner & show tickets are claimed.
Gates open at 5:00 PM but dinner doesn’t start until 6:30. A few minutes won’t hurt. If you’re significantly late, please call ahead — we can reschedule your reservation for a better time.
Both dinner and the award-winning western show are held indoors in our climate-controlled barn. Activities are outdoors in the frontier town.
No worries! All shops are indoor establishments, and dinner and the show are indoors. Rain or shine, we’ve got you covered.
Always a good idea — Arizona nights can get cold, and the show doesn’t end until around 8:45 PM. We’re along the Verde River which runs about 10° cooler than town.
Seating is first-come-first-served with the exception of certain groups and guests with special seating needs. VIP ticket holders receive priority seating.
Cameras and recorders are welcome at any time — on the grounds and during the show. We just ask that continuous lighting not be used during the show.
All activities, shops, and the museum do not reopen after the show. Plan to arrive at 5:00 PM to make the most of your evening!
Accessibility & Policies
Yessiree! All ranch facilities and attractions are accessible for wheelchairs and scooters.
The barn now features chair seating for all guests.
Absolutely! Let one of our ranch-hands know you need assistance and they’ll be happy to help. We also assist guests with small children in the dinner line.
Due to our classification as a food-serving establishment, we can only allow licensed service animals.
Smoking is only permitted outside all buildings — in compliance with Arizona state law requiring a minimum of 20 ft. from any entrance. We have “butt buckets” around the ranch for smokers’ convenience.
NO REFUNDS once tickets are purchased unless Trip Protection is purchased at the time of your original purchase.
Rebooking: You may adjust reservation dates or remove guests more than 24 hours before your show. Within the 24-hour window, a $10/booking rebooking fee applies.
Trip Protection: Full refunds granted if cancellation is requested more than 24 hours before your reservation (prior to 5PM the day before). Within 24 hours, a gift card refund may be issued at the owner’s discretion.
About the Ranch
You bet! Ryan Glass and family purchased the Blazin’ M Ranch in 2021 from the Mabery family, who owned and operated the chuckwagon dinner and show for the previous 32 years.
The original homestead was 30 acres. Over 40+ years, Arizona State Parks (Dead Horse Ranch State Park) purchased 20 acres from the Maberys, in addition to the 400 acres that make up the balance of the park.
Our climate-controlled barn seats up to 280 guests. It’s a great spot for parties, weddings, and private events. Contact our Group Director for large group inquiries.
The Blazin’ M Ranch is closed for Christmas, Thanksgiving, the entire month of January, and the entire month of August for remodeling, repairs, and restorations. We reopen in February and September respectively — reservations can be placed during closure.
Never! All shows are performed live on stage right in front of you. We’re the real deal.
We have special shows periodically throughout the year for holidays and special events — including our annual Holiday Hoedown featuring cowboy Christmas music and storytelling.
The ranch sits on the banks of the Verde River surrounded by State Park land — home to squirrels, javelina, bobcats, ring-tailed cats, raccoons, and even deer! We also have a nice little bunch of ranch animals. (Penelope the Potbellied Pig reportedly throws parties with the ponies after hours, but we can’t confirm this.)
A one-of-a-kind-in-the-world display of life-long creations by a master woodcarver — hand-carved miniatures set in historical scenes, mechanized with electro-magnets and pulleys designed to move before your very eyes. A must-see during your visit!
We don’t offer horseback riding on the ranch, but we’re happy to direct you to horseback riding activities in the Verde Valley area!
