When Ferris Bueller lit up Chicago in the 1986 movie, he didn’t need a full 48 hours to make magic (after all, it wasn’t called “Ferris Bueller’s Weekend Off”). Nope, he packed it all in a day — really, more like a few hours. This summer is the chance to channel your inner Ferris.
The Hudson Valley is rife with luxurious resorts, adventurous dude ranches, and riverfront pools — and they can all be yours for an afternoon. Whether you’re looking to fill a day upstate or need a mini getaway in your own backyard, these properties all offer day passes to get your fill of relaxation or adrenaline without splurging on an overnight stay.
Pine Ridge Dude Ranch
Across the 600-acre site in the Shawangunk Mountains, day pass holders are welcome to the indoor and outdoor pools, a private lake, petting zoos and more.
Pine Ridge Dude Ranch“People really love coming to the ranch with day passes, especially locals within an hour,” said Mike Offner, owner of Kerhonkson’s Pine Ridge Dude Ranch. “A lot of people that have their second homes from the city in the Hudson Valley like to come out with either a group of friends or with their kids to go swimming and horseback riding.”
The day pass at this 600-acre site in the Shawangunk Mountains includes lunch, access to indoor and outdoor pools, tractor rides, a private lake, the bounce pillow, petting zoos and more for $100 for adults and $75 for children. Even a pony ride is included, with horseback trail rides available for an additional fee of $25.
