Behind the Chutes is your chance to venture out to where all the action happens. You'll meet the stock handlers, rodeo clowns, rodeo queens and arena crew and special guests who will explain the sport of rodeo. Get an up close and personal tour of the arena equipment, participate in some mock events and see the livestock up close!  It's a great time to ask questions and to learn more about the sport of rodeo from the pros themselves.

Tours are available at 5:00 p.m. Tickets for the rodeo can be purchased online prior to rodeo week on the Rooftop Rodeo Tickets page. YOU MUST HAVE A RODEO TICKET TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOUR.  You can purchase Behind the Chutes tour tickets in advance along with your rodeo general admission tickets at the link below.

If you have a party of 20 or more, we may be able to arrange a special tour for your group. Contact [email protected] for more information. Please note that the tour will take you through areas of thick, loose dirt (sometimes mud), so please wear appropriate shoes. Flip flops or expensive shoes are probably not a good idea!

After your tour, grab that tasty chow and a cool beverage, shop at our vendors, meet old and new friends, and settle in for a great Rooftop Rodeo evening!
