The OIl Ranch boasts a unique history that sets it apart from other educational and entertainment ranches in Texas or anywhere for that matter. The Oil Ranch has been family-owned since its founding in 1976 Each of the 3 families that have lived on the ranch had added to its attractions, educational activities, and event accommodations. In many cases, the attractions have a history of their own making it even more fun to visit the ranch. For example, our vintage train was originally used in Coney Island, New York, and our putt-putt golf and rail car came from Texas’s own Astroworld, just to name a few. When you schedule your event or visit the Oil Ranch with your family, you know you are going to have a good time. That's because of the passion and customer-first caring of our ranch hands. Experience true Texas ranch life on the open pastures at the Oil Ranch located in Hockley, TX, just west of Houston. The attractions, variety of activities, and pavilions make the ranch a wonderful facility for corporate events, educational field trips, church groups, scout outings, birthday parties, family reunions, and family adventures. You will enjoy live farm animals, hay rides, train rides, sports including paintball, swimming, and much more! Seasonal events are very popular, too, such as our Pumpkin Patch, Scarecrow Festival, Santa's Ranch Express, and Easter at the Ranch so check our website for current hours and what is coming up at the Oil Ranch
