Golden Prairie Bison — Hotel in Valentine

The bison tour at Golden Prairie Bison was an unexpected treat on our trip to Nebraska. Taking the tour was not part of our original plans for our stay in Valentine, but we are SO glad that we took the opportunity. Carl and Vicki were such knowledgeable and friendly guides and being able to get so close to the bison was an experience we won’t ever forget.

Beyond the tour itself, Carl and Vicki are the most hospitable and friendly people there can be. They were so excited to tell us all about their ranch and their bison. If I could give them 10 out of 5 stars it would...

My husband and I can not say enough great things about the Golden Prairie Bison tour.. Carl and Vicki were so friendly and nice, the history Carl gave about the bison and prairie was wonderful and very informative. We didn’t know what to expect so we were thrilled when we found out we got to feed the bison food.. it was an amazing experience!! We were able to take tons of photos and videos, it was just an incredible view of the prairie. Carl and Vicki were both amazing people and you can tell that they love what they do. 🦬😊❤️ definitely a must do if you are ever...
