Description
Sculpture van tours are a great way to see and experience the monumental artworks installed throughout Tippet Rise. Lasting approximately 2.5 hours, van tours stop at many of the sculptures sited across the 12,500-acre ranch. Guests are welcome to get out and walk up to the artworks at each stop, where our tour guides and rangers provide additional information and insights. Van tours are $10 for adults, and free to those 21 and under, with each van accommodating eight guests. All tours require reservations, and you are welcome to purchase a maximum of six tickets for the duration of the season.
Food and Beverage
Lunch items are available for purchase in Will’s Shed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM, or while supplies last. Prepared daily by chef Chris Lockhart, we offer a variety of to-go style salads, sandwiches, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks. Reservations at Will’s Shed are not required. You are also welcome to bring your own refreshments. Food & beverage can be enjoyed indoors at Will’s Shed or out on the trails. Please note that Tippet Rise does not accept cash.
