Check out events that take place here at vail ranch website! Concerts, movie nights, historical talks, family fun days and weekly farmers markets. Setting for everyone. Very nice space, well taken care of. In the middle of a shopping center which is a little odd, but plenty of parking! National park and historical status. Check it.out.

We love Vail Ranch Headquarters! Wonderful quaint little shops, lots of delicious options for food and the Craft House and the Pottery place are wonderful for kids. We absolutely love this little gem and spend as much time as possible there. Vail Pizza is absolutely delicious and the kiddos really like it too!

This is definitely my happy place there's everything from wine tasting from Marshalls to shopping at two little boutiques of my fave. You can get your hair done and have the best tasting coffee as well. Totallyhandicap accessible.

I would’ve given this a 5 ⭐ had it not been for one of the volunteer's of the museum for a school field trip, Toni, who was so incredibly condescending & impatient with my group of children during rotations today. Some of which were special needs students. Unfortunately, there was not an opportunity to address her directly as many of us were assigned to several children’s supervision, safety & well-being…I ask that whomever is in charge please speak with her & feel free to reach out to me to discuss further. With that said, Debbie, Rebecca, Jack & Cowboy Bill among a couple other wonderful volunteers were SO kind & patient with our kids & made it such an enjoyable experience which made up for Toni’s terrible behavior. I highly recommend locals & visitors check this out to learn the awesome history of our town & the great businesses that surround this historical landmark.

Nice collection of small shops and restaurants. There are historic buildings and a blacksmith shed. The buildings are all now shops and restaurants. A few plaques to read.
