About a mile South on the access road from Picacho State Park is an Ostrich farm where one can feed the ostriches and deer. It's a great stop for kids and anyone who has never seen 500 ostriches before! Cost is about $2 for a large cup of feed.
Important Information: Due to construction of a new Visitor Center, Picacho Peak State Park is currently closed to all public entry. The park is scheduled to re-open in October 2008.
