For 13 years, Dallas brought Southfork Ranch into homes worldwide—now you can visit and experience it firsthand.
Today, Southfork Ranch welcomes visitors from around the world to experience the iconic filming location of Dallas and the lifestyle made famous by the Ewing family. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., guests can purchase tickets online in advance or at the Guard Shack upon arrival. After parking, guests check in at Miss Ellie’s Deli, where they receive a map highlighting key ranch locations.
While checking in, guests can explore the nearby Lincoln & Longhorns exhibit to see Jock Ewing’s 1978 Lincoln Continental and visit the ranch animals before their scheduled tour time. Approximately 15 minutes after each hour, the designated tour group meets at the trolley, where the Deli attendant and trolley driver transport guests to the Ewing Mansion for the guided portion of the experience.
At the mansion, knowledgeable guides share stories about the filming history, characters, and legacy of Dallas. After the tour, guests board the trolley again and are taken to the back entrance of the Dallas Legends Museum to begin the self-guided portion. Inside, explore memorabilia, cast interviews, and classic clips before stopping by the movie theater, where episodes of Dallas play throughout the day with complimentary popcorn popped fresh daily. The experience continues into the newly renovated gift shop featuring Dallas-inspired apparel and souvenirs.
Guests are welcome to take photos throughout the ranch during their visit and are encouraged to explore Southfork Ranch’s scenic grounds before or after their tour.
