What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Warm Springs Ranch for its incredible opportunity to see the majestic Budweiser Clydesdales up close. The knowledgeable and friendly staff, beautiful grounds, and the heartwarming sight of foals are frequently highlighted as major draws. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some visitors note that tour availability can be limited, emphasizing the need for advance booking.
"The tour was great, interesting and informative. The horses were majestic and beautiful. The Dalmatians were a wonderful touch. I grew up around Thoroughbreds and it's amazing how much larger Clydesdales are. In the 70's
Schlitz Brewing Company had a 40 Horse Hitch. The horses and Dick Sparrow the person who ran the hitch were all from Iowa, near where I lived, but I was so young I did not get to enjoy them, so it's great to finally be able to do so."
Bill Wickham
"Wonderful experience! We did the 'Cruising With The Clydesdales' tour. Everyone from our tour guide and tractor driver to the horse handlers were very friendly and super nice. The horses were, of course, beautiful and majestic! The grounds are beautiful as well. We highly recommend a visit! (Oh, and the gift shop has a nice variety of items that are not over priced.)"

"I really wanted to see the Budweiser Clydestales but I didn't want to drive all the way to St. Louis so I searched on Google and found the Warm Springs Ranch! Just a two hour drive from Kansas City, this stunning ranch offers different tours ranging from 20 dollars to high-priced VIP experiences. Literally my childhood dream come true.
I went on two different tours and both were quite different in terms of what you get to see and experience! The highlights for me were meeting Stan, seeing foals, hearing the clicking hooves across the pavement and cruising around to see all of these gentle giants.
The staff is well informed and make the expereinces interesting and educational! I really enjoyed Marsha as a tour guide rather then the one I had on the previous day (just she had more fun energy). All and all both experiences were fantastic and well worth it. I'm dying to go back in Christmas season to see the ranch then!!
Thank you to all the staff there that truly love working with these amazing creatures and allowing us to come visit. Full blog on my catchingkato website to come.
Oh and they also have wheel chair accessible parking and tours. The have a cute gift shop, love my new hoodie!"
