Kids Love Sylvan Dale!

One of the best compliments we get is when a child chooses Sylvan Dale over Disneyland. And it happens frequently! Why? Adventures at Sylvan Dale are real.


Exploring the natural world in a safe environment with new-found friends is the best!

BUCKAROO PROGRAM SCHEDULE BUCKAROO PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Buckaroos meet after breakfast for morning activities, returning to share their adventures with the family over lunch. Afternoon Buckaroo Time is from 1:00 to 5:00 Monday through Thursday. Friday morning kids return from their Thursday night Campout in time for breakfast, then their time is unsupervised until they head up to the Barn to saddle-up for the Gymkhana! It’s a full week of FUN!

So…you want to spend more time with your child? You can! Parents are welcome to join in on any of the Buckaroo Activities. You can also take your child out of the program to go on a family ride or some other activity of your choosing.

So…you have kids under 6? No worries! Lead-around rides will be offered a couple times during the week for the 5 and under crowd, and they are also welcome to join in on any of the non-horse Buckaroo Activities, with adult supervision. Our “Nanny Rate” could be the perfect solution for allowing you and your child to experience the best of Sylvan Dale. BYO or rent a SDR Nanny! (See Packaging and Pricing for details.)
