Yoa Pilgrim!
Are you looking for a fun and unique memory making unique
experience for a group outing? Well, look no further. Rooster
Cogburn Ostrich Ranch is a family owned working ranch that
offers visitors an up-close and interactive experience with
ostriches, English Fallow deer, Miniature Sicilian Donkeys,
Boer Goats, and Rainbow Lorikeet Parrots.
There is something for everyone. Just imagine the thrill
you will feel when approaching the fence to feed an 8 foot
tall living dinosaur, or how about the sheer joy when the
deer eat gently right out of their hand. Don’t forget
the Miniature Donkeys and Boer goats. The Rainbow Lorikeet
Forest, a 5,000 sq. ft. aviary paradise, houses 70 colorful
lorikeet parrots, granite waterfall, trees, and saguaro rib
cactus. These birds fly to you and rest on your head, hands,
and the fences to drink the nectar right out of a cup which
you hold. What a great way to start a new and exciting science
unit!
The admission for the feeding area is $5 per person
for everyone 6 and over. This does include feed and nectar
for all the animals. There is also a gift shop with various
souvenirs but no drinks available so please bring your own.
The Monster Truck Tours are
available during the week with advance reservations. Great
for Birthdays, Church groups, school groups, tour groups,
or just fun-lovin’ folks! This is a very informative
and educational tour as well as action packed and entertaining.
$100 minimum for weekday reservations.
We are located between Tucson and Phoenix at beautiful and
historic Picacho Peak. Just take I-10 to Exit #219 and then
take the southeast frontage road 1 mile directly into the
ranch. There are signs.
We do have picnic facilities available and bottled water
but no food. A Dairy Queen is located across the street at
Bowlin’s Travel Plazaa. The Picacho Peak State Park
is also located at this same exit and they do have full facilities
in addition to beautiful scenery and trails. Contact the park
for details and special school pricing at 520-466-3183. These
sights make a great field trip outing to be remembered!
To schedule a group trip or if you have any questions, please
