Grand Canyon Deer Farm

"This was easily the highlight of our entire trip! If you are anywhere near Northern Arizona, you have to stop at the Grand Canyon Deer Farm. ​The personal interaction with the animals is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. You aren’t just looking at them through a fence; you are right there walking among them! The deer are incredibly gentle and sweet, though they definitely have a sense of humor. If you aren't handing out the feed fast enough, don't be surprised if you get a playful little nibble on the butt to remind you they’re waiting! It was such a funny, memorable moment that had us all laughing. ​Beyond the deer, the employees were amazing. Every staff member we met was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves these animals. The entire farm is clean, well-kept, and has such a joyful atmosphere. ​Whether you’re traveling with kids or you’re just an animal lover, this place is a 10/10 experience. I can’t recommend it enough!"

"honestly cannot gush over this place enough!! the deer are very friendly and know exactly who to go to for the food. the bison, Ginger, was just a sight to behold. the zonkeys were incredible and the goats were so sweet. the staff were so kind, especially Ms. Gail who i could probably talk to for hours ♥️. you can tell that they really love and care for the animals here and being able to support that care is wonderful. we went in the afternoon after the sun was up and out for a bit so most everyone was up and active!"

"I don’t review often, but I felt this deserves a shoutout. Free parking, clean restrooms and a great gift shop. The animals are definitely the highlight! For the cost of going to the movies, you get so much more. The deer were so friendly and sweet. Great for all ages. It was paved and easy to walk throughout, they even had staff sweeping the walkways. The workers were friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that it’s a labor of love for the owners and staff, the animals were well kept with clean pens and enclosures! You can see wallaby’s, porcupines, coatis, even reindeer! For the price you’d be hard pressed to have a better day out with the family 👍"

"It's an absolutely adorable little zoo I enjoyed feeding the deer very much. They come right up to you and eat right out of your hand! There's even an adorable little gift shop! It was definitely a fun experience and something I would do again if I were driving back through. If you're going through Williams, I suggest you stop and feed some deer!"

"I love all animals so I decided to go see what this place was really about. First .. staff was amazing. Second.. the lobby cat PUMPKIN super sweet. I was really wanting to see the porcupine but she doesn't like the cold so that didn't happen. The animals were so cool to just watch. They had this cute little Monkey 🐒 that was hiding at first but my 2nd loop I got some pictures and kinda was mesmerized by him. Also did finally get to see one of the Peacocks 🦚 that came out to the reindeer enclosure. They had Kangaroos and some some Zonkeys (yep) 🫏 🦓 They had a lot of other animals to check out too. They have 2 Kangaroos, a really cool Camel 🐫 (dont get too close) I saw some.pigs as I was leaving. The have goats 🐐 and a Buffalo 🐃 and much more. I would say don't wear loose shirts because the deer are silly 😜 thats all I'm saying about that. Also maybe like noon or 1pm is a great time to go seemed to have more animals out after it warmed up a little bit. I will say I wish they would get a Giraffe 🦒 but I'm pretty sure that cost a lot of money to feed and care for but would be so cool. Also maybe give yourself 2 hours tops Not a 5 star trip but 4 for sure. The gift shop is pretty cool too."
