Had a wonderful comprehensive tour of Southfork Ranch. Naturally unless you have watched Dallas it may not mean that much to you. The small tour groups are great. The staff there have met most of the cast and have a wealth of information that they share with you. It is true that the interior shots were not filmed here but... more

You probably aren't at all interested in this unless you were a Dallas fan. There is a small Dallas museum and very large gift shop. The facility is now an event venue where you can host anything from a sweet 16 party, wedding, or even a prom. The house exterior was used for filming, but not the interior because a... more

Wow. Maybe it's just me, but being on the Southfork Ranch, and standing where all those scenes were shot, gave me chills. From the driveway, to the pool area, to the actual Ewing breakfast table on the patio, to standing on J.R.'s balcony! It was incredible for me. But then again, i'm a big fan of the show. Some people... more

As a die-hard fan of the TV show, Dallas, I just had to see Southfork Ranch, in Plano, about a 40 minute drive from downtown. I wish I hadn’t. Kind of like I wish I’d never seen the third Aliens movie, for it too, ruined everything that came before it. Or, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie, as it ruined... more

I think you have to have been a fan of the Dallas TV show to really understand the irony of Southfork Ranch. It's so much smaller then you would have thought watching the show. The house is smaller and it's close to the road when you would have thought it was at least a mile from the road if you... more

As most diehard fans know, the interior scenes weren't shot here. But many of the exteriors were, so it's fun to see it. The gift shop and "museum" are fine and "tour" is probably an exagerrated term here. But I thought it was worth the admission, again, as a big fan of the show. Certainly wouldn't make the trip out... more

Being a fan of “Dallas”, I enjoyed my visit to Southfork, Knowing that the interior scenes from the series were filmed on a sound stage in California it was still enjoyable to walk the grounds where all of the exterior scenes were shot. As you begin your tour of the inside of the house your guide explains that the interior... more

I was not very keen on the "Dallas" series when it was aired on TV, I may have watched 5 chapters maximum. But I admit it was a TV phenomenon. So for historic reasons, it was worth visiting Southfork Ranch. The ranch is smaller inside than you thought while watching the series. Very nicely decorated, especially at Xmas, when we... more
