Another one of the best all-inclusive family vacations in the USA is the White Stallion Ranch, which can be found on West Twin Peaks Road in Tucson, Arizona.
Although this ranch has the same facilities that you might expect from a typical “dude ranch,” adding to its high-quality level is the well-trained, professional staff, whose members can help you with any problem that might arise.
It has been a business for more than 75 years, and has entertained guests all throughout that time. Part of guest entertainment includes supplying them with great activities, and the White Stallion Ranch is no exception: it provides guests with traditional, authentic experiences like rock climbing, horseback riding, hiking, and a weekly rodeo.
As guests, you can also rent fat-tire bikes for your own excursions, sharpen your shooting skills, and even attend nightly shows of musicians, animal handlers, and lasso-throwing experts.

The Ranch’s dedicated personnel will even teach your family how to sort cattle on horseback—just like cowboys used to do in the days of old.
The ranch itself includes a heated pool and fitness center (complete with a gym and a workout room), a lounge/bar, a game room (with shuffleboard, air hockey, etc.), and free shuttle and taxi services.
There is also a multi-sport court—for playing basketball, volleyball, and badminton—a dedicated tennis court, a spa, a hot tub, and an in-house movie theater. There's even a petting zoo, so your kids can have fun with all the cute animals.
