Please be as generous as you are able with a donation. Similar holiday events in our region charge between $20-$35 per person. We offer a peaceful outdoor experience designed with accessibility in mind – wide ADA compliant pathways, low sensory load, easy parking, and volunteers available for assistance.
Our Artist in Residence, Matt Belge, an immersive light artist, will feature his innovative work, Sky Garden, on dry evenings (the computers and projectors are expensive and cannot get wet!). Created especially for Rest-Stop-Ranch, Sky Garden employs the giant scale of our trees and the intimate scale of our small plantings to create an intimate and immense, immersive experience for our guests.
