Which 1960s TV show had its own theme park until 2004?
Bonanza
Gilligan’s Island
The Addams Family
The Beverly Hillbillies
Ponderosa Ranch was a theme park and tourist attraction inspired by the hit TV western Bonanza, which aired from 1959 to 1973. Opened in 1967, the park was located in Incline Village, Nevada, near Lake Tahoe—the same region where the show’s fictional ranch was set. Designed to bring the world of Bonanza to life, the park featured a full-scale replica of the Cartwright family’s ranch house and barn, along with Western-themed attractions such as gunfight reenactments, wagon rides, and gold panning. Ponderosa Ranch operated for nearly four decades before closing its doors in 2004.
