Does it get any better than this? What an absolute joy to spend time with ALL the animals the Ranch has to offer. The humans too are incredibly friendly and helpful with whatever you need. We stayed two nights in the Zebra cabin and it is spacious, clean and very comfortable. The view is amazing and you can even get animal visitors at all times! Zebras came up as well as Lisa the Emu. We did Otter encounter, the Safari adventure and got some up close time with both giraffes. An absolutely incredible place for anyone of all ages and can't wait to returns. Many thanks to The Blue Hills Ranch.

My wife and I were very very impressed with the giraffe cabin. Waking up to zebras, deer, donkeys, and Elsa and Gaston the cows was amazing. The kangaroos, pigs, camels, giant turtles, buffalo and otters were a fun interactive experience. But most of all the dining with giraffes experience was a once in a lifetime event for us. Up close and personal time with my wife's favorite animal was a memory making event. The staff was great, knowledgeable and seemed to love what they are doing. I would highly recommend animal lover anywhere to make the journey to the scenic Blue Hills Ranch.

Our guides for the otter swimming were super friendly and welcoming. They were very knowledgeable about the otters and made us feel comfortable. The otters were sooo adorable and well taken care of. Would go again for sure and stay at the cabins next time.

Very unique stay in Central Texas. Rooms were clean and a fun theme. They're located within the fence line where most animals roam free. We woke up to an emu next to our room and say a pack of zebras walk by our deck grazing. I would recommend staying more than 1 night to get all of the experiences of the ranch and the chance of seeing animals around your room. They also have unique animal experiences - we did the kangaroo baby feeding and it was awesome. Location was good but down some county roads. Nearly 30 minutes to downtown Waco. In all, we would stay again in a heartbeat.

My son and I enjoyed the otter adventure and it was definitely a bucket list moment for us. We just drove down for the day to play and swim with the otters and Blue Hills Ranch did NOT disappoint! The personal experience was one we will never forget. The otters were happy and they had a wonderful habitat at Blue Hills Ranch. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. This was an experience of a lifetime that we will cherish forever!
