Since I was a kid, I have loved going to petting zoos. Now that I have my own kids, I enjoy taking them to see and learn about animals. One family-friendly farm in Arizona that’s worth going to is the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch. Not only are there ostriches but several other animals, including a very surprising one, along with animal feedings and a Monster Truck Ranch Tour!

Located off the I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson is an incredible family-friendly attraction you must visit if you haven't already. It's also quite affordable. Welcome to the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch!

Most curious of all is that this ranch also has a tank filled with Cownose Stingrays. If you've never fed or touched a stingray, I highly recommend it. I just love how friendly these sea creatures are!
