Stunt Ranch Events

Just returned from a birthday party for an 8 year old girl. This is a beautiful location in S. Austin. The drive was long for us but well worth it! My daughter jumped off a high platform onto an airbag below, navigated a fun obstacle course and ziplined to her heart’s content. My husband was even able to join the fun. Our daughter has already decided that her next bday party will be at the Stunt Ranch also. Employees were patient and awesome with all the kids as some of them were conflicted about jumping. We ended the day taking a photo in front of a van that was blowing up. Love. Love. Love the Stunt Ranch!

While this may have been an odd occurrence, we had a horrible experience at Stunt Camp. This was mainly due to one teenager — still not sure if he was an employee or a friend hanging out. This individual was rude to my child and tok advantage of the opportunity to be a bully to younger kids. This is not why you send a kid to a camp.
There was no dynamic to the setting. No one person was in charge. Different people greeted us the two days we tried. The entire place looked run down. Hopefully, we just had a bad week, and this is not the norm.

3 reviews from one family: We celebrated my two sons birthdays here. They are turning 13 and 15 in a few days.
What the soon to be 15 year old says:
This place is pretty good. The explosion was ok and the jumping and low ropes courses were very fun. The only thing that bothered me was the 2 «ziplines» which were composed of 2 short wires ending very suddenly. However, our group had alot of fun with the basketball court and the jump as well as the ropes course.
From the soon to be 13 year old:
I loved everything about the stunt ranch. I went there for my party and all my friends had a amazing time. First we went on a lowropes course which was tons of fun; during the party we kept on coming back to it! We stopped playing on the ropes course and went to the zip lines. They where really fast and it felt like you where soaring because the harness was so free. The harness could be a little uncomfortable at times. Then we went to do the high fall airbag and I loved the rush of air it gave you. Finally we saw the exploding van, which didn’t actually explode, it was a propane fireball!!! You could feel the heat rushing all around you as a 20 foot fireball filled the air. It was amazing.
From me, the Mom:
We had a party for our soon to be 13 and 15 year old boys here. We did NOT do the paint ball. There are lots of places to do that but there is only one place (I know of) to do stunt like activities and this is it!
Ropes course: it was low ropes course all the monkeys we had there could not get enough of it. When there was a lull in the activities they would go back to it. When waiting for parents to pick up, they would go back to it.
The zip line: the smaller kids ahd the best time. All said the harnesses were a bit uncomfortable but the trade off was you could manouver your body easier durign the ride. It was a little low to the ground for the bigger and especially taller guys.
The High Fall was awesome! I even tired it. I was too woosy to go all the way to the top (which was only 17– 20 feet depending on where you lept) but the crash pad was fun to land on.- like a puff of pillows. I would suggest that Stunt Ranch put some sort of hand hold on the top rail just for added balance up there.
The Expoding Van– It made for a nice picture. You could feel the heat. It reminded me of lighting a BBQ pit that I had closed, had the gas running and lit it. The top flew up and there was a heat wve generated. Yes it was awesome but for a $ 195 add on… pricey.
The facilities: Nice drive there. The facilities are open and spread out enough. I liked the covered pavillion with the picnic tables, basketball hoop. It made for a great staging area for the party. The pavilion area and bathrooms could have been cleaner and better stocked with toilet paper. Even jut running a leaf blower to clear the dirt between parties would have been nice.
The hosteses: AWESOME!!! They were great! They would encourage the kid to get a little crazier, try different techniques and add a little more risk to their activities. It is so GREAT to have a place and people to encourage that in this increasingly bubble wrapped overly safety conscience world we live in. Let’s get dirty and go wild rather than hiding behind a screen a little CGI do it all for us!
Would we go here again? Absolutely! A party? Yes. Interested in the science days yes. Wish they had an open one since not all schools are interested or able to pull it off.

I chaperoned a 6^th grade field trip here and it was a fun day for the kids, teachers, and parents. What a great idea for science lessons and just to get outside and move. Fun activities for the kids in a fun environment.

Not a bad place. A group of friends and I do paintballing once or twice a year, so we have come here two or three times now. The other place down highway 290 is a little better (way more field options). But this place is nice. We got lucky last time we came and it was just us friends using the fields. We each got out of there spending a total of $ 40 each for about 3.5 hours (we had groupons… always check for those before going paintballing).
Paint is a bit expensive though…$ 20 for a bag of 500 or $ 65 for a case of 2000. Otherwise not bad at all.
Enjoy!

I used one of those flash deal sites to get a birthday party for my turning 9 year old daughter. We took nine other 8 – 9 year olds and two 6 year olds. I really wasn’t sure what to expect — shade? food delivery? activities? But with signed waiver forms in hand we carpooled down to outer South Austin. I couldn’t believe what a good time the girls had. Since it was a day in late May we brought a cooler full of water and juices boxes. I also had snacks and one cutesy tablecloth but the real food and cake was served at home after the party. The water was the most important thing we brought but the gallons of sunscreen weren’t as necessary as I thought because not only is there an enormous gazebo structure but plenty of shade from large trees. First the girls did the ropes course. Fun, low to ground, but challenging enough for them. Second the girls got to climb a tower and jump on a stunt mattress. The scariest and probably riskiest thing they did. My husband also did it and said the feeling of landing on something that absorbed all impact is completely indescribable. After a snack and water break the girls headed to the zipline. This one has a holster. They could have just done the zipline for 2 hours. The 6 year olds refused the jumping part but did the ropes and the zipline. The older kids did it all and had a blast. This really is a fun and different party idea. I just wish they had times when they were open without parties. My girls would love to zipline for a couple hours this summer. I highly recommend.

Had my 9yr old son’s b-​day party. Had a blast!!! Tony and Thomas plus other staff who helped get this together were great!!! Definitely going again but, without the kids!!!

Beware — this place may have been good when it first opened, but not any more. The staff are incredibly rude and insensitive to kids, parents, and all customers alike. Furthermore, I am not sure they are a very safe operation. The staff’s attitudes and behavior, when hosting the Science Jamboree, were deplorable. There are plenty of other options for your kids, this place doesn’t warrant the drive, the cost, or the attitude.

Stunt Ranch is a misleading nightmare. My wife and I purchased a «demo day» deal through living social. I can truly say it was an enormous waste of money. We bought a «see the action» and «be in the action» ticket. by the time we got irritated and left, we saw no distinction between the 2(other than i was $ 20 poorer at that point). Interesting note, the «deal» we bought on livingsocial was advertised as 50% off, however when we arrived, the prices we paid were only cheaper by a few dollars off of the prices posted.
When it came to activities, we were under the impression that we would be blowing crap up and lighting each other on fire for 5 hours, when in fact it was an hour of watching kids act like monkeys on the «rope course», followed by a squib demonstration. I’ll admit, that was kind of cool, but for the price i paid i almost expected everyone to line up and get «shot». We then saw a few more lackluster pyro demos, and it was back to the «rope course» for us. They split us into 4 groups to be rotated to different stations. «rope course», «zipline», «snow machine”(fyi, it broke), and «air cannons» for the next TWO HOURS.
my wife and i had had enough at that point, and decided we’d be better off doing absolutely nothing than being there.
My advise to Stunt Ranch:
rethink your advertising. you’re making your place seem a lot cooler than it is. Had you lit me on fire, or let me blow something up, i’d be a hell of a lot more happy. «filler time» with bullshit activities while you all bury yourselves in your cellphones texting each other or whatever it is you’re doing is not entertaining, especially not for fifty frigging dollars.
PS: your «Technical supervisor» is an asshole. it’s not his place to yell at other peoples kids.

Attended a birthday party at the Stunt Ranch and the kids had a blast.

Took my 11 yr old out there this last weekend and all i can say is just how impressed i was with everything! Took a little getting used to having children yell rules out at you but if you can swallow your pride and deal with it, you’ll have a blast! Great courses, plenty of games, and most of all, the entire staff was as friendly to us as if we knew them for years! Being our first time i had 101 questions for them throughout the day and not once did they come off like i was getting on their nerves. They were GREAT w/​the kids and I for one will be coming back NUMEROUS times! THANK YOU STUNT RANCH!!!

The guys at paintball stunt ranch were awesome. My first time out and they helped make it fun for crying boys who didn’t know it hurt that bad when hit. The fields are fun with lots of variety. Wear layers of clothes including long sleeves.

This place is the best place to play paintball south of Austin, the gentlemen there were so accommodating. They are eager to help my nephew and his friends out on gearing up and setting up their paintball guns. The fields are pretty neat, they are friendly and very professional. It was our second visit and we definitely found our place to play paintball. I highly recommend this spot, you will not be disappointed. Stunt Ranch Paint ball we will be back during spring break so please leave a spot open for four please. See you soon!

This was my first time paintballing, so I’m not the best judge of venues. I did like Stunt Ranch a lot. It was tons of fun, had a good degree of difficulty and good space. I came here on a sponsored event that was with a group that were not pro paintballers.
The rental equipment was dirty, but worked and the staff wasn’t the most professional, but I imagine it’s to be expected.
In the end, it’s a lot of fun and a great time, and I think that’s what matters about paintball, am I right?

Nice, small place to play paintball. My little brother and I went – staff were very friendly and helpful, refs were young but attentive, and we rotated through the three fields that were open.
Only negatives were that it’s a little ramshack-​ish: very small, rental guns and masks are dirty. Definitely not the most professional venue, but the mix of players, fields, and management made it a nice experience.
