Westgate River Ranch Resort and Rodeo is the largest authentic Ranch in the Southeastern US and the only one in Florida. A unique Dude Ranch experience awaits you at this 1,700-acre ponderosa of winding trails and pristine waters where horseback riding, airboat rides, swamp buggy rides, golf, skeet shooting, hayrides, line dancing at the Saloon and a sanctioned rodeo every Saturday night are just some of the activities to enjoy. If you would like a more immersive experience, we can organize a cattle drive with real cowboys for your group or event. Throw on your favorite western wear and enjoy a hayride with a singing cowboy followed by rustic BBQ grub. For a quieter evening, mingle with other guests in our restaurant The Smokehouse Grill which overlooks the Kissimmee River and offers a scrumptious and diverse menu. Spend the night or opt for a day trip at our full-service resort - Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo boasts more than 8,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space and is able to accommodate up to 250 people in 12 different areas of the property. Come and find your inner cowboy and leave your City Slicker worries behind. Nothing beats the laid-back vibe, fresh air and great outdoors so start planning your adventure today.

Your VIP Pass Experiences
Your VIP Pass Experiences
multi-city
In 1992, New York Offstage began, when founder, Bev Sambrotto, left her role as Assistant Director of Visitor Services at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Her tenure at Lincoln Center gave her invaluable experience as a producer of refined cultural events. This experience included talent recruitment and coordination with world-class talent from Lincoln Center’s companies, cutting edge event planning and production for Fortune 500 corporations, and creative, interactive program content for patrons, and international travel and luxury group clients. New York Offstage flourished as the industry leader in these immersive, behind-the-scenes experiences showcasing New York’s cultural world. As the company grew it was evident that its services and business model could be copied in other leading cultural destinations and in 2007 the brand was renamed The Offstage Group. Until 2012 The Offstage Group served groups of all sizes. The company had weathered several economic downturns and as a safeguard changed its business model to include memorable experiences for individual travelers. Your VIP Pass was born!
