Love is in the air at Wassermann Ranch this Valentine’s Day as the ranch hosts a birthday celebration for one of its most beloved residents, Carl the alpaca.
The family-friendly event is set for Friday, Feb. 14, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the ranch, located at 10 Rim Road, just outside Alpine. Admission is $10 per person (cash), with tickets also available online.
Visitors can expect a full afternoon of hands-on fun and ranch charm, including animal interactions, games, food, and a special birthday cake celebration at 2 p.m. A playful slippery slide is also on the schedule, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Known for its alpaca and donkey tours—and even a chance to meet a kangaroo—Wassermann Ranch has become a popular destination for locals and visitors seeking an immersive, nature-forward experience in Far West Texas. The ranch also offers alpaca apparel and unique souvenirs.
The Valentine’s Day birthday bash blends celebration with connection to animals and the outdoors, making it an ideal outing for families, couples, and anyone looking for something a little different to mark the holiday.
