The Entire Family Will Love Visiting This Fantastic Farm In Arizona With A Petting Zoo, Animal Feedings, And Monster Truck Tours

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!

You'll find this unique ranch at 17599 E Peak Ln. in Picacho, Arizona.

If you love animals as much as I do, you must visit this unique ranch. Not only are there ostriches but many other animals including Boer Goats, Dwarf Goats, and miniature donkeys...

...Rainbow Lorikeets, parakeets, chickens, and Pekin Ducks...

...bunnies and Giant Sulcata Tortoises...

...and Fallow Deer. And, yes, you can pet and feed the deer and many of the other animals on the 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!

Offered on select weekends throughout the year is the Monster Truck Ranch Tours. This one-of-a-kind tour is 50 minutes and will give you an in-depth lesson on ostrich farming along with information about the surrounding desert landscape and other animals along the way.

There is an additional fee for this tour but it's worth every penny! Monster Truck Tours must be booked before 8 a.m. the day of your visit.
