This past winter, Tom Forbes and his girlfriend Katy visited Grand Canyon Deer Farm in Williams. Having previously visited the farm one year prior and loved the experience, the couple decided to make it an annual tradition.

“We love going in the winter as there is just something special about running around with the deer in the snow,” Forbes says. “They sell cups of food in the gift shop. Once you are out with the deer, they will all swarm you at once when they realize you have food on you.”

Located on a section of old Route 66, the 10-acre farm — which has been providing up close and personal experiences with nature since 1969 — is also home to wallabies, llamas, coatimundi, bison, peacocks and an umbrella cockatoo named Mozart.

“Feeding the deer is definitely the most exciting part of the visit, but one of my favorite animals to see is the zonkey — which is a cross between a donkey and zebra and is not something you often get to see,” Forbes adds.
