We've been here a few times now, and we've had a great time every visit…read more From the setup and how we were able to interact with the animals, you can tell they take good care of them. Everything looked clean, and the animals seemed active. There's actually a lot to do here, it's not just walking around looking at animals in cages. We did the African Bush Safari, and that was probably our favorite part. You get really close to giraffes, zebras, and antelope. We fed a giraffe, and that was such a cool experience. They also have different shows and activities throughout the day. We saw things like the Predator Feed (I think it's only on certain days), Tiger Splash, and some reptile exhibits. There's definitely enough to keep you busy for a few hours. And yes, we fed the tigers too. Not gonna lie, that was a little scary, but also really exciting. We missed the campout event last year and still kind of regret it. They're having it again this year on 5/16, and we might join this time.

At the time, I genuinely enjoyed the experience and did not yet understand the significance of AZA accreditation, direct animal encounters, or some of the ethical concerns surrounding exotic animal attractions and entertainment-focused wildlife parks. I still believe the staff I interacted with were knowledgeable and passionate, but I personally view some of the interactive animal experiences differently now than I did then. I think it's important for visitors to do their own research regarding accreditation standards and animal welfare practices before attending facilities like this.

The show they did in the central square was fun for us to watch as a group and we enjoyed looking at the scale map of the park in the shop too. We somehow missed the elf and the jaguars but we got to see all the other animals. The timber Wolf even came right up to our car! This is a really cool stop. Highly recommend stopping by at least once.

What is great is we were allowed to have our dog with us in the van while driving through. Our dog's name Fuzzy Bear enjoyed the drive through and seeing the bears playing in the water and walking along the side road. It was so cool. I was told the park used recycled materials for landscaping around the park. Like salvaged wood for creating benches and fences. Old tires were transformed into planters or garden borders. So, I did spent time looking around the section of the walk through. I did see the old wreck van/bus/truck were used as a wall. The place kept well clean throughout the park. We went there on a Tuesday, and it was not crowded at all.

The Day I Was Mugged by Deer (In the Best Way)…read more 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.

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.

Zoo is reasonably priced and of course family friendly with a playground, gift shop, petting zoo and picnic area. As it is a smaller zoo, if you go during off-peak times, you'll practically be getting the whole zoo to yourself. I highly recommend an off-peak hours visit. The Animals for the most part don't appear to be annoyed at their human visitors. The Bear exhibit is pretty cool If you go in with small town zoo expectations, you'll have a great time here.

Each tent has its own bed/beds, linens, extra blankets, towels, dresser, cooler with a pound of ice/gallon of water, as well as large space heater and two battery powered lanterns. Bathroom/restroom are shared, and are both located inside of a separate tent. There is running hot water and flushing toilet, special soap provided to keep the greywater clean. Open fires are not permitted within the enclosure, but there is a lovely propane powered fire pit that provides ambiance and fire for s'mores at night. Camping ware is provided, so just bring your own food to cook. There is a propane powered portable stove as well. Don't expect a BBQ grill, tho. Sam, the porter, makes coffee and cocoa for everyone. A small continental breakfast of fruit and muffins is provided. Highly recommend chatting with him, he is an outdoor survival specialist and teaches classes. Guests are locked into the enclosure at night, and unfortunately cannot wander off to explore. There are some games such as Jenga and Cornhole, but ultimately this little village is ideal for couples just wanting some time to connect. The greatest thing about the experience is all of the incredible animal sounds you get to hear at night while snuggled in your tent...such as lions and wolves. In the morning you awake to the sweet sounds of birds chirping. Throughly enjoyed myself here, and have already done it twice.

You have to pay to go inside to the Farm to pick your stuff and then you have to pay for what you pick. And it's expensive. They have jellies, salsa, canned vegetables and pickled items as well as some fresh vegetables. But it's just so overpriced so over the top ridiculous. Unfortunately, this seems to be the business model for everybody lately. It's unfortunate and most likely we will not return. We were really hoping to find a farmers market where we could get fresh fruits and vegetables at a decent price but I'm not gonna pay to go in and pick and then have to pay for that too. I believe it was almost $20 for each person to go inside and pick what you want and that's only if the item is in season.
