Heritage ranch is beautiful!! One of my favorite spots in Red Deer.

Pros: Beautiful walking and biking trails, theres both paved and unpaved trails as well as a bridge over the river. The paved trail is also wheelchair accessible. 2 larger parks both right near the parking lot so lots for little ones to do. They have stables right by the main building where you can go pet the beautiful horses They offer carriage rides, trail rides and pony rides for the little ones. The resteraunt is nicely decorated and has pretty great food. It is fairly easy to find and is right off hwy 2 The have lots of awesome events here such as foam fest (obstical course for adults in foam.), wine tasting, date night specials, mothers and fathers day buffet (we do the fathers day one and it's always delicious), pumpkin picking, beautiful winter carriage ride to view all the christmas lights and lots of other cool events through out the year.

Cons: The food is a bit more expensive but better quality than most places. Not a huge menu selection, but still an ok variety of dishes. I find the pony rides pretty over priced. I believe it is $10 to do two laps around a circle. Which in total lasts only a couple minutes. It's ok if your child only wants to ride once or if you're only paying for one child. But if you have multiple children or your child wants to ride a few times it gets rather expensive for what it is.

Overall I find some of things to be a bit pricey here but for the most part they are worth it. I highly recommend checking out Heritage Ranch it's a truly...

What a complete rip off. Had date night dinner. Was over 350$+ at the end of the evening, portion sizes were completely abysmal for the price and neither of us were satisfied/full by the end of the whole ordeal. Not to mention the service was not great either. Apparently we were supposed to get a bottle of wine with the meal and this was never even offered to us. I will also add that I/we frequently dine out (very nice places as well) and have had MUCH MUCH better experiences for a lot less money. Cooking at home renders better results than this. 1st course - frozen grapes tossed in sugar that were supposedly soaked in wine for 48 hours…. they tasted like frozen grapes, nothing special there. 2nd course - oyster mushrooms with sort of a teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds sprinkled on top. The sauce was salty AF!! Mushrooms were basically just the stems?? Rubbery as hell and there was probably like 8 ish little pieces on the plate. 3rd course - salad w/ pecans, goat cheese, cranberries and pears(?) they gave us like a single person sized salad to share. Good but VERY small. The normal menu says that this salad costs like 24 bucks, 24 bucks for a side salad?? Ok I’m not going to continue listing off the courses. Our meat was cooked well and was probably the best thing about the whole affair, but was 5oz for each of us… What a joke. Don’t know anyone who would be fully satisfied with that. Dessert also sucked. Literally never coming back here. Maybe quit...
