The farm stands out because not only does it raise the animals from babies, it also provides a rare chance to spend time with the animals. The fallow deer are used to human contact, so petting makes for an enjoyable activity. Visitors are also allowed to feed the deer with animal feed bought at the Deer Farm’s Gift shop. Outside food is not allowed at the farm.

Deer are not the only animals at the farm, much to the delight of the little ones. Other animals that reside at the farm include wallabies, mini-donkeys, African-crested porcupines, and marmosets. The latter are primates, and it is fascinating to watch them interact with people at the farm. Be on the lookout for a zebu, bison, and camel too. The camel is fondly referred to as Gracie the kissing camel, thanks to its tendency to give visitors wet kisses.

Stop by at the gift shop to get souvenirs after your visit. The shop takes pride in selling unique gifts to suit different preferences, which range from home décor items to thoughtful gifts, clothing, and jewelry. Kids are not left behind either as there is a wide selection of toys to choose from. There is no better place to get memorabilia that captures the true spirit of America’s Wild West than at the Deer Farm Gift Shop.

For the little ones, the farm provides the option of going behind the scenes and taking care of the animals. This is a hands-on educational experience for kids who love animals and would love to be a junior zookeeper for a day.

So, whether you would like to get kissed by a camel, feed a fallow deer, or simply pet baby animals, then Grand Canyon Deer Farm is the place to visit.
