This is a cute little zoo which gives you the opportunity to hand feed the deer. You enter through a gift shop to pay the entrance fee. You have the opportunity to buy food for the deer. I just got the small cup which was $4, but they also have a bigger size cup and an entire bucket. The small cup is plenty for me, but we did see a family with your kids that have the bucket. It comes with cups that you could refill from the bucket. There's a sweet little cat that lives in the gift shop named Pumpkin. When you first go in you pass a pen with some goats in it. We laughed because a large goat came to the fence to look at us and the Little goat came and head butted the bigger goat as hard as he could. He was an annoying little guy for the big goat. You go through another gate and you see the deer everywhere. They are some tan ones and brown ones and lots of spotted ones. They definitely recognize the cup because several immediately came over to us. Some of them can be rather aggressive, pushing others out of the way. They also use their head to get your attention. I put some food in my hand and they ate straight from my hand. I tried to be fair and make sure some of the smaller or less assertive dear got some food. Several times I found that they were trying to eat my dress so I just step back and pulled my skirt out of their mouth. It's actually kind of funny. My husband is correct - it is kind of gross because they lick your hands, but I really enjoy it anyway. There's a sink to wash your hands. There are some other animals to walk around and see you - - the camel, different kinds of deer, a wallaby, a zonkey (half zebra half donkey), reindeer, a tiny pony, there's even a little marmoset. I love to see the animals, but if you have depends seem a little small and I like to see the animals have lots and lots of space. I think if you have kids that are easily intimidated and scared, dear might be too aggressive for them. My kids would have been fine, but I know people with children who would probably start crying, so keep that in mind. read more

The Day I Was Mugged by Deer (In the Best Way) If you're driving through Northern Arizona and see a sign for Grand Canyon Deer Farm, pull over immediately. Trust me. This place is basically a 10-acre animal park where the deer run the show... and they know exactly who has snacks. The moment you walk in with a cup of feed, you instantly become the most popular human in the entire forest. Deer appear out of nowhere like fuzzy little snack detectives. One minute you're calmly feeding one deer, the next you're surrounded by a polite but very determined deer mob inspecting your pockets, shoelaces, and possibly your soul. And honestly... it's amazing. The deer are incredibly friendly and will happily eat right out of your hand. You can pet them, feed them, and get pictures that look like you're starring in your own Disney movie. But it's not just deer. There are wallabies, llamas, goats, bison, peacocks, and other animals wandering around the farm, so it feels like a mini zoo adventure where everything is up close and interactive. Admission is very reasonable for such a unique experience: * Adults: about $20 * Seniors: about $17 * Children: about $12 * Kids under 3 are free They are open daily from 9 AM - 6 PM (spring/summer) and 10 AM - 5 PM in winter, making it an easy stop if you're heading to the Grand Canyon or exploring Williams. And don't skip the gift shop when you walk in. It's actually really cool and full of niche treasures -- crystals, jewelry, souvenirs, gifts, and all kinds of fun stuff. It's the kind of place where you walk in thinking you'll just look around and somehow leave holding crystals, a bracelet, and a Route 66 souvenir you didn't know you needed. The whole place has this quirky, old-school Arizona roadside attraction vibe that makes it even more charming. If you love animals, road trip stops, or the idea of being gently harassed by extremely adorable deer for snacks... this place is a must. Overall Rating: 10/10 would absolutely get surrounded by snack-seeking deer again. read more

Staff is super friendly and so are the deer! They offer cups of feed for $4 or $6, and you are able to keep the cup as a souvenir. I would recommend each person in your party has a cup of feed, because that is how you are going to become the most popular person on the farm! The deer will be all over you if you have food, and they may nip at your shirts and shoelaces, but they were very gentle. I would highly recommend wearing clothes that you are okay with getting dirty and possibly torn! Don't wear any loose articles of clothing, have anything hanging out of your pockets, and tuck in your shoelaces! Bring some quarters, as well, because there are dispensers around the farm with corn for the deer (we noticed that some of them preferred just the corn and did not care for the regular feed). We couldn't have loved our experience more and will be back again! Bonus points for the employee of the month, the lovely calico cat that was in the gift shop! She was a gem! 5/5 would recommend for families and animal lovers! You can easily spend a couple hours here. read more

Our family had such a great time here! We booked the wallaby encounter in advance and loved it. There were two wallabies we could pet, feed, and even hold--such a unique experience! Don't forget to bring some quarters for deer treats. It was amazing to be able to pet the deer up close. We can't wait to visit again! Tip: The deer were very curious and nibbled at our shoelaces and clothes, so maybe skip wearing your favorite new outfit. read more

Ok. We found this gem of a place from a billboard sign driving through the area. If you ever wanted to get close to a deer, and I mean a lot of deer, then this is your place. It's a huge place you can walk through and the deer walk over to you. While there are some animals behind fences that you can feed, there are many deer roaming the open that come up to you. All the animals look like they are kept healthy and the place is well maintained. We had a blast there one afternoon. Made a lot of memories. I highly recommend a visit. read more

Grand Canyon Deer Farm a must see for anyone who loves animals. Located east of Williams, Arizona, off the I40. This deer farm offers a unique experience with friendly deer, reindeer, and other animals like bison, wallabies, and a camel. For an adult admission is $20 . Cost around $50 for two people with food to feed the deer. You are not allowed to bring in any food from the outside to prevent harm to the animals. The deer follow and swarm around you. Very sweet and gentle. The entire staff here are some of the bests you will find around Williams, so friendly, helpful and all have a love for animals. Only took about 45 minutes to spend time there , but it was well worth it to visited . read more

Always a fun stop! The Grand Canyon Deer Farm has the friendliest stuff and a bunch of beautiful animals to visit and pet. You'll see pot belly pigs, bison, deer, zonkey, and so much more!

Support the local form and be ready to be met with dozens of deer! read more

The Deer Farm is a magical experience that allows you to feed the deer and see some amazing animals up close! I came here as a small child and today we took my two toddlers to have the same memory. The Grand Canyon Deer Farm is a bit pricey $20 per adult and $12 per kid plus purchase of food, but it's worth it. The Deer are all over and very excited to get nibbles of whatever you have to offer (watch your shoelaces and your back ) . The kids absolutely loved it and also had the chance to see some of "Santa's reindeer" as well as peacocks, zonkies (yes a zebra and a donkey had some good times), sloths, hedgehogs, camels, wallabies, mini horses, and a few other incredible animals! It was fun for the adults too! When you're done feeding you definitely need a good wash (that's a pro tip btw). The Deer Farm is a Williams staple that will hopefully be around for a very long time! It was a wonderful family memory that I hope will continue through generations. read more

Did a day trip from Las Vegas JUST to hang out here for the day. Spent 6 hours feeding and enjoying all the deers and other animals. Was by far the best animal therapy, I needed.I even made a deer best friend that hung around me the whole day. He took a nap while I sat a pet him. Best experience. Must swing by and enjoy these amazing animal read more

The Grand Canyon Deer Farm is, in essence, a glorified petting zoo. And at $20 per person just for admission (plus extra for feed), it feels overpriced for what you actually get. While I appreciated the chance to feed the deer (definitely the highlight), the overall setup left me uneasy. Mama and baby deers are kept in the main petting area, yet guests are told not to approach because the mothers are aggressive. If that's the case, they really shouldn't be so accessible to the public at all. Safety and animal welfare both feel compromised there. Several of the larger animals in pens had visible open sores, which I'm guessing are from bugs, but it was still pretty upsetting to see and raised questions about the level of care these animals are receiving. That said, I'm giving two stars instead of one because the pen area staff were genuinely lovely...warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about information regarding the animals. They were the best part of the visit. At the end of the day, I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're traveling with very young kids who will enjoy tossing kibble at deer and won't notice the concerning details. read more

OMG! This is a must see place when you're visiting the area for the day. I definitely recommend come first thing when it opens, I'd say after 15-20 of being with the deer, it suddenly got crowded, it was nice to experience it when there weren't as many people in the beginning. They have such a beautiful variety of animals and those deer, they were so cute!! That was the closest I have ever been to a deer and I could actually pet them. They really do come towards full throttle! It was so funny! We got the small $6 cup, I saw some people with bigger ones but the small cup worked out just fine for us, I made it last the full circle walk. They also have fun facts about all the animals and the people working there were so friendly and were happy to answer any questions. The only place I noticed where you could wash your hands was in the restrooms inside, I never saw an outdoor sink to wash your hands. It's kind of a short quick visit, maybe 45 minutes is about how long we were there, I recommend add more to your itinerary of things to do while you're in the area. They also have a cute cat that the kids loved!! Will definitely be coming back! read more

I visited the deer farm May 2026. While it is true that there are a lot of deer wandering around that you can touch and feed, I was quite disappointed in the size of the enclosures for the other animals. The saddest was a single camel in a boring enclosure. Maybe they're doing the best they can, but this place seems to me to be more of a cheap roadside zoo than a place that puts the animals' needs first. read more

Lifetime goal feeding wallabys complete! My kidults had an amazing time feeding wallabys, petting them, playing with them. Feeding the deer was a lil crazy as they basically swarmed us, and it was all worth it to hear them giggle and laugh like a little kid. Definitely go! Very very very hot in the gift shop is my only complaint. We even got to see Pumpkin, the gift shop cat! Definitely recommend strong by here for a few hours and get the extra experience! It's worth it!! read more

I totally forgot to check in when I arrived. Turns out you get a deer food cup when you check in on Yelp. On our way home this was our last stop. It shouldn't take you more than an hour to go through. You go in through the gift shop and you pay at the register for your entrance. There's a good amount of animals to look at. Some have a picture and detailed information about them. You will see many signs posted to feed the animals. The feed to purchase when you arrive is for the deer. Immediately when you walk into the deer area they will come to you and start trying to get food. They will tug on your clothes and try to knock down the food cup. I would suggest not to leave small children unattended with food near the deer. Don't leave before saying hi to Mozart the white cockatoo. It will say hi back and it knows how to jump on command. Of course if it likes you. read more

This is more than a Deer Farm! Come see what other animals they have, like a ZONKEY! Have you ever heard of or seen one? ( https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/grand-canyon-deer-farm-williams-2?select=D9mNG1O-8kANFJlroAZ3VA ) The Deer Farm is located about 25 miles West of Flagstaff, AZ. There is free parking in their lot. They also have spaces to accommodate larger vehicles. If you brought a lunch, you can eat it at the picnic tables out front. No food is allowed in the farm except for the feed cups you purchase. I remember coming here about 20 years ago when our children were in Middle & Elementary School! I'm glad we came again this year, even though it was just the two of us! This farm has been here since 1969 and has had three different pairs of owners. Be sure to check out their business hours. They only vary by an hour during winter & summer hours. They're closed on Thanksgiving & Christmas Day as well as if the weather is favorable! You enter through the Gift Shop & exit there, too. We purchased 2 tickets at $16 a piece and bought a $6 large cup of food to feed for the animals waiting for us. Mainly the deer eat it. Your ticket is good for the entire day. You can leave and return if you show your ticket. One might balk at the $16 admission fee or think it's too steep, but remember that this money helps maintain the animals .... like their food, vets, and caregivers. TIP: Bring quarters for the machine that dispenses corn. You can feed this to the reindeer and other animals that like it. It's really cool to feed the animals! The deer seem to eat nonstop! They will follow you and demand food! There are a few animals on special diets that have signs on their enclosures letting you know not to feed them. Unlike the traditional zoos, you can touch most of the animals if they are close to the fence. However, at your own risk! Be careful! There is an option to schedule and pay for up close encounters with animals like the porcupines, wallaby, coatimundi, pigs, and mini horses. This is educational as well as fun and interactive experience! There are information cards in front of the animal enclosures. Besides the multitude of eager deer, there are African Crested Porcupines, Peacocks & Peahens, Reindeer, Goats, White-nosed Coatimundi, Marmosets, mini horses & donkeys. There are one of each of these animals: Bennett's Wallaby, Patagonia Mara, Alpacas, Bison, Camel, Llama, Zebu, Zonkey, and Umbrella Cockatoo. Can't forget the sweet, loveable Calico cat that greets you and wants lots of petting! You'll also hear Mozart talking. He's in the room near the door, but as soon as you walk out to the animals, slide open the window and have a chat with him! I have seen pictures of pigs, but i missed them! Not sure how I managed that, or if they weren't there. There might be another animal or two I forgot, too! Don't wear nice or loose clothing!! The deer like to chew on what they can! I remember a deer trying to eat my long hair when I was there many years ago! I put it in a pony-tail this time! The ground consists of dirt paths and if there's any moisture on the ground, it can become muddy. Your shoes may get dirty! I was especially happy to see that they use dogs (Anatolian Shepherd Dogs) to police the perimeter where the animals are kept! After watching nature shows on TV about dogs keeping animals safe, I know they will be guarded well! When you're done with the animals, there's a hand washing station complete with soap & paper towels. After washing our hands, we went back into the Gift Shop and browsed. There are all sorts of cute things to buy! We had an enjoyable time here! read more

My 8 year old son and I did a 24 hour roundtrip to Williams, the Deer Farm and the Grand Canyon. Let me tell you, the Deer Farm was his favorite part of our trip. I actually posted photos on social media and had multiple people reach out to me as well to mention how awesome the photos were. We spent about 2 hours at the Farm. When you walk in there is a store, which I had to PULL my kid out of. Trap Trap Trap.. Hide your money. So much cute stuff. Too cute. I saw so many kids walking out with stuff when we were in our car after. You buy tickets for the farm and then they also sell the deer food in cups for a separate price. They had a yelp check in for a free cup of deer food, which I didn't know until when we got up the road as I had no internet service on the farm and was not able to check in while there. Now on to the good stuff, the animals. If you don't like animals just don't bother. It is a Farm people. There are goats, deer, pigs, a possum, a crazy little monkey, a talking bird, llamas, mini horses.. and much more. Also, they do get weather, so bring an umbrella and good shoes. The deer are so sweet and were very very friendly. They would eat the food right out of your hand, and were sneaky too. I would put the cup in my purse and zip it or they would find it and get it. They would almost lick your hand as they ate it. They even had little baby deer. Omg. The cutest. They had the cutest potbelly pigs and they were the friendliest pigs ever. They literally ran up to the gate and just wanted to be pet and have attention. They sat with us forever. Same with the mini horses. Not sure if we were just lucky, but most of the animals were like that. All just very friendly and wanted the attention. Now, I never realized how grump santa's reindeer were. Oh my word! You get too close to the gate and oh wow, the guy would jump at you. It was pretty funny actually. Grumpy guy.. Don't get too close to those guys. Their reins are big and beautiful to look at, but that is about it! We are already talking about going back and wish it was closer to where we live. Awesome place. And across the street is the International Kadampa Retreat Center (the big gold building) which is really pretty to check out. read more

I've been to quite a few small farms & animal sanctuaries like this. Overall this is a cute spot to stop & enjoy with your family at least once if you are in the area. The price of admission does not include any feed like other spots we've stopped at, feed cost extra for a cup which is for the deer only. They also have quarter machines to get extra feed from if you wish. They have information about being able to do other up-close experiences with animals like the wallabies and mini horses, the experiences last for fifteen minutes. We wanted to purchase the experience while we were there but told there wasn't enough staff there to do any kind of experience so if we wanted to do one in the future, we had to reserve a spot a head of time. Kind of a bummer for anyone who happens to see this spot on their way to Bearizona or other local attraction and wanted to stop into here as well. Most of the deer were sweet, some were a little pushy/bitey but they are wild animals so that is expected. It was neat seeing some of the other types of deer & animals they have as well. The Mini zebu was so sweet & soft. I'd say in total our group was here for about forty minutes, feeding the deer doesn't take long and the farm isn't giant so how much time you spend here depends on how fast you walk & if all of the animals are out where you can see them. read more

This place has gone way down hill and probably should be avoided. Admission is $20 per person, plus the cost of deer food. Previously, they sold large buckets of food that provided enough food to spend an hour and feed every animal. Now, they only sell very small cups of food for $4. They will only sell you one cup per person. The deer can go through this cup of food in a matter of minutes. It is a very expensive place to visit if you are only feeding a few deer and leave in 10 minutes. The staff inside the building were rude and unhelpful. The workers in the yard were nice however. read more

A cute stop for the kids if you have the time or looking for a place to stretch your legs for an hour or so. The main attraction is feeding the deer but there are also other animals to look at and interact with. I've feed wild deer in Nara, Japan and this option is much safer. The deer are more like pets who may nibble at your clothes but very gentle and domesticated otherwise. read more

The check in process was quick. We purchased cups with Deer feed to pet the Deer. We love this! There are other animals to see including Elk but the Deer are the only ones you can pet.

Ok here is the scoop... You buy tickets and a cup of food, enter into free roaming deer haven and walk along the path to see other animals like... GRACIE THE FIESTY CAMEL Zonkeys Cous & Mule Deer Elk A WALLABY Goats Bison And chickens, peacocks, reindeer, alpacas and more! When you buy tickets, you have access all day so you can explore Flag or Williams and come back for some more cuteness! We had a few nervous littles ... ok, one who wasn't about it at first & had a full blown fit, but he warmed up and it didn't seem to bother the staff or animals one bit! They also offer unique zookeeper experiences where you can pet a porcupine or care for the wallaby! It's the perfect spot for animal lovers or wannabe vets!

I just arrived back to my hotel after visiting Grand Canyon Deer Farm and I couldn't wait to review! I visited on a Friday afternoon in November. There was plenty of free parking and only 3-5 families inside so it was not busy or crowded at all. You enter and exit thru the gift shop where you purchase tickets and deer food. I'm an animal lover so I had the absolute best time! I also experienced such wonderful customer service! I had to come here by myself (husband stayed in the car with our dog) so I was walking in with my phone recording in one hand, cup of deer food in the other. Right when I walked up to the gate, a friendly male staff member asked if I was alone and offered to take photos/videos of me while I fed the deer who quickly approached me! He was also kind enough to take other photos of me with other animals which was so very kind since I expected to attempt to take selfies. Santa and a reindeer were walking around taking photos so I def got in on that, too! It was fun feeding the deer and walking around checking out other animals that reside here! There's a camel, porcupine, goats, peacock, pigs, zonkeys.. to name a few! There is a restroom inside the gift shop to wash off your dirty hands that the deer will slobber all over. The gift shop has a huge variety of souvenirs to choose from. I had so much fun and wanna come back again before we leave AZ! read more

My family was visiting and as they were leaving town, decided they wanted to do one more thing. We did not have enough time for Bearizona so I recommended the deer farm. My 6 year old great nephew had a blast and the rest of my family really enjoyed it! I always love anything that has to do with animals. When you come in with your cups of food, you are definitely stampeded by the more aggressive deer. I love to float away from the group and feed the more timid bunch. Feeding the deer is such a fun experience, especially for the little ones! There's much more to see like a camel, wallaby, reindeer, llamas, birds, etc. and the goats on the way out are very sweet and love a scratch behind their ears and under their chins! The gift shop has a good selection of varied items, something for everyone! You can check out the gift shop without paying admission. Admission is a little steep at $16 for adults, $14 for seniors and a little less for kids. Food is $4 for a small and $6 for a bigger cup. You get a small cup with Yelp check-in which is nice. A tip, try not to wear loose clothing! I told my niece to take off her cardigan and her husband his jacket, but they were cold. The deer will pull on loose fitting clothing to get your attention. Their mouths are dirty from the food so be prepared to get any loose fitting clothing dirty. My niece and her husband looked like they had been rolling in the mud! Always a fun experience! If they had a season pass, I would get one and visit more often. Love seeing those cute little faces! read more
