Guys that behind me is the famous Southfork Ranch that must mean only one
thing I'm on the set of Dallas hi guys welcome
to another episode of ultimate bucket list and today I'm here just outside of
Parker Texas and the world-famous Southfork Ranch now if you don't know
what this place is guys this is the setting for the famous TV show Dallas
Dallas
when you heard the epic theme song you knew stuff was going to happen at
the time this wasn't only the longest TV show in American history but possibly
the world this was shown in over 70 countries and translated in over 56
different languages that's how popular this TV show was now admittedly guys I
was only a kid when I first started watching this and I'll be honest I
didn't particularly understand it all that well but I remember seeing it and
walking around here today it's pretty surreal when you get to the visitor
center and therefore the gift shop you're immediately guided to almost like
a Museum of Dallas paraphernalia you get to see Goodlett shot junior you get to
see Jr's memorabilia stuff from the cast and crew including the the reboot which
really wasn't as good as if you original and then you'll let onto a tour bus
I say tour bus is actually a tour tractor as it would be on a ranch one
things are fun don't li clear when you get here it's a real ranch yes there's
animals everywhere you've they've got llamas
they've got horses
okay what he doesn't like me very much
they've got Longhorns lots of long horns and it's very very clear that even
though it's not a working ranch it is a real ranch the tour tractor
stops you off at the famous house you get a guided tour with a gentleman and
he tells you some very interesting facts about the TV series it's pretty cool
because you get to see all the rooms and they're pretty much still intact from
the original TV series
there's old jr. now they didn't actually film the interior scenes in the house
the original owners of Southfork Ranch didn't want the film crews filming
inside of the house so everything on the exterior of the house definitely is what
you see on the TV however every other scene ieb interior or anything else was
actually done in a studio in California so half of it was filmed here half of it
was filmed in California but walking around here today there's some pretty
cool photo opportunities that you can get here here are some of mine
I seem to be the only person wearing Stetson around here apart from people
that work here might get mistaken for someone who actually works in this place
no that's not good but overall it's pretty cool
definitely definitely see the house that is probably the highlights there's also
a few other things that you get to see around here you get to see the barns
where some of the scenes were filmed there's a party bar there's Jr's office
and believe it not Southfork Ranch is not just a ranch in a tourist attraction
it's also a convention center you can have functions here hell you could even
get married here so guys if you've ever seen Dallas and you're in the Dallas
area you definitely have to come on by you definitely have to add this to your
bucket list okay then I want to come here what do I do
well Southfork Ranch is about a half hour drive away from downtown Dallas
actually took me about 15 minutes to get here today due to traffic the cost not
horribly expensive about $15 will get you a ticket on the tour here at
Southfork Ranch so if you do want to come on down here it's only a half an
hour drive $15 but definitely if you did like the TV series the original TV
series and even the reboots if that's your thing come on down here to
Southfork Ranch definitely worth a look for the nostalgia but also because of
the fact that is it's actually authentic everything is real here it's not staged
this is a real ranch there are real animals it's a real house so definitely
come on by here if you are a fan of the show guys if you've enjoyed this episode
please be sure to like share and subscribe comment on the comment section
below and if you've got any other ideas for bucket lists tweet them at me and if
I get enough requests I'll be sure to well I'll be sure to give them a go but
in the meantime guys thank you very much for tuning in this is a this is a pretty
cool place I don't know if you think so but I definitely do and we'll see in the
next episode the original owners of Southfork Ranch forbade
every interior scene on the other hand was if you have seen the episode and the
toy attractor is just about to read my audio I'm just gonna wait
now I go and I think I'm the only person actually wearing a sensing today so yeah
kind of feeling a little bit
