Reviews of Tucson Petting Zoo and Funny Foot Farm (Zoo)

Yousef Eshmawi

Was totally surprised to find such an original-idea'ed place like this here in Tucson. A small farm/petting-zoo-like atmosphere. This is a fantastic place to bring a class or group of kids for a close encounter with an array of exotic and local animals. Also good as a date idea, family, or group of friends who love animals. The staff are super friendly and welcoming and the tours are highly educational and guides are more than happy to answer questions. I definitely plan on going back and highly recommend you check it out!

Alexander Owens

It was really neat. Very relaxed atmosphere and all of the animals were pretty cool.

Rolanda Ned

Only two people working there day we went. They worked fast and steady to take care of everyone and maintained a great attitude. We appreciate the great fresh food & great service :0)

Natalie Keele

The animals were friendly and nice so that part was fun but service was awful. We paid the extra for the exotic animal part but an employee has to walk you through there. We were told to just let them know when we were ready. When we did that the man told us to wait and walked off somewhere for a bit. When we did make it in he left several times during the visit without saying anything and was on his phone throughout it as well. We also walked past him on our way to pay and he told is to wait while he walked off somewhere. We had to wait a bit to check in. There was also a dead baby capabara when we walked into the enclosure that he said he didnt know about! Will probably not be going back. We will stick with the rooster cogburn ostrich farm.

Heather Rose

The staff was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all of the animals. The facility was clean for a petting zoo. My girls loved it. We were able to feed ALL the animals. We will be back!

Naomi Brisendine

Ridiculously expensive entrance fee. The animals were not well cared for. The whole place was in disrepair. I was appalled.

Barbara Codd

Wow - Wow - Love Georgie and love the animals...they are so friendly and love to be petted...I forget their names but the black pig was just not going anywhere - he was getting a great massage around the neck and the little Mara altho scared at first loved getting its neck rubbed also. Great experience for young and the "older" of us as you get to feed the animals and George is a wealth of knowledge. Oh and gosh everybody has to get there - the porcupine and Georgie have such a great relationship. Going on second trip tomorrow.

Britten Rosenberg

Nice place to check out we did the tour and I learned a few things

Mateos Lopez

Best petting zoo experience I've had! This place is well worth the visit! The Owner Randy is super cool, witty, and hilarious! The animals are a great learning and fun experience, enjoy!

Janet Mohr

For the price of admission this was a very good value. My grandkids loved it and want to go back again. This is a "mom and pop" type operation, so don't expect slick and fancy, it's just fun and informative.

Melody Reeves

Such a cute petting zoo and all the animals where so friendly! Great family outing and the guides jokes are so funny! We will definitely be back!

Linda Q

You get to be in the same cage as the animals and pet them. Great experience. My nieces really liked feeding some of the animals.

megan Cole

My son had a great time! I laughed so hard at our tour guide, Rande! Coolest place in Tucson to go!

Tina Shoemaker

Took my daughter. We paid for the tour but she got overheated. We decided to leave. Lady was so sweet. She ran up to with passes for next time. We didn’t even ask. Animals are well cared for. The few we got close to were sweet. My daughter did get to pet their huge lizard. I can’t wait for it to cool off a little so I can take my daughter back.

Nate Kirchner

What a neat little Jam located in the middle of town who knew

Carla Alexander

Great place to stop for a break off the road interstate!

Casey Horstmann

They got animals from all around the world

Ming5906

Small Zoo, just getting started, but you want to go for the depth of knowledge and enthusiasm presented by the owner. She knows her stuff and cares about her Critters. Hopefully they will expand in the future to a ranch property and this will become a very interesting animal experience.

Lauren Ard

Last year I was so impressed with this place I gave it five stars. Tour guide was hilarious, patient with my kids, and had some awesome stuff to say. We freaking watched two goats being born on Thanksgiving Day! But we returned today (almost a year later) and were sorely disappointed. Now you have to pay $12 per person to see the few exotic animals here...more than the cost of the Reid Park zoo! I couldn’t afford that for our family of five. Instead we regrettably paid the base price of $8 per person which just allows you to just pet the birds, goats and pigs and that’s it. No tour or anything for that price. My kids were bored after 15 minutes. Sadly the maras, capybaras, porcupines, wallabies, etc. are now blocked off, reserved for higher paying customers.

Stacy Clinkingbeard

What a treasure of a farm tucked in a rural nook of Tucson! My kids love this interactive experience and the variety of exotic species is an incredible learning experience.

Melinda Coronel

This place is truly amazing..pay the extra to feed the kangaroos you won't regret it

Rebekah Smith

Awesome experience for all ages! You get to pet most of the animals, and feed all of them. They have a wide variety of animals from capybaras to mini chickens. The staff is very friendly, and make funny jokes through out the tour. Great costumer service. We will definitely be coming back!!

Noah Curry

Very distinct place with lots to do in a small area. Family that runs it is very personable and friendly especially with the kids. Priced just right for what you get and is definitely a time to see animals that are not traditionally in the zoo.

Ash Ley

Great place to take the family. Lots of animals, clean shelters, and our tour guide had lots of information.

Suzann Addison

To be fair, I go here for work often, but I do not work at the petting zoo. I do know they take visitors, you can feed and pet the animals, and it's family friendly. It seems to be family/friend business, which brings it down to earth for me. I love when the animals have babies. So far I have seen baby chicks, goats, sugar gliders and capybara. Note that during rainy times it can get quite muddy, just be prepared. As of this post all parking is outside the farm, which is great for families. They know traffic in minimal in the farm. Take your time and bring a camera. It's small, so you can finish enjoying in maybe and finish in 30 - 90 minutes depending.

Nuru Hope Adem

Fun times animals cool & friendly

Roselia Labbe

Rustic petting zoo with a variety of very friendly animals. Had a great time feeding them and enjoying their antics. Wheelchair and stroller accessible. All of the animals appear happy, well cared for and interested in human interaction. I had a blast with the goats and the chickens. There are animals I had never seen before, like Capybaras, and they liked having their back-scratched. Overall a very enjoyable experience. The zoo is still a work in progress. I plan on returning in the future to see the new additions and upgrades.

LaTisha Palmer

I really do enjoy going to the Funny Foot Petting Zoo! The animals are amazing and lots of fun to learn about. The men that run the petting zoo and give the tours are absolutely amazing. They've also done lots of upgrades just in these past 6 months

Owen Anderson

Very friendly animals and staff. So cute! And educational too!

Lance Yarborough

Great time feeding and petting the animals. Go after lunchtime during the week for a more intimate experience. 7 baby goats right now made for a really fun time!

Becky G

Great place for small children. My grandchildren are 3 and 6 and they had a lot of fun here. The employees gave a lot of fun information about the animals to the kids. They kept them interested and let them feed the animals. They told them which animals they could pet and went into each fenced area for just enough time. The price was reasonable.

Dan Ross

Fun petting zoo with gentle and exotic animals. They don’t serve food so I’d recommend eating before you go so that you can spend lots of time with the animals (and not worry about eating after you have touched an animal). No military discount.

S Grant

What a cool place to take kiddos or even just to go pet and feed some animals you’ve never seen before. Staff is awesome!

Jason Holmes

Small out of the way in the heart of town. Unsuspecting but very nice. Small selection but interesting.

William B. Davis

It was a great time! We were given food to feed goats, ducks, chickens and other foul- they were well trained to come up and win your love for some treats. The pigs stole my heart so much so I forgot to take their picture ( we also had food for them). Following handing out food for Love we had a break and waited for the tour that included the exotic animals. We then had a guide introduce us to crazy animals some from lands far away that I can’t pronounce. There are about 15 to 20 animals of 4 or 5 species. I get the feeling this place is only going to improve with community support, and that support is deserved. Go when it’s slow, kids are not necessary.

Shannon Monz

Absolutely worth going to check out, it's a little small but its growing bigger and better the more that the community participates and spend the money to go see all the animals . They have chickens, goats,pigs,peacocks,ostriches and porcupine s and some more etc.

Gina B

This was awesome for my 2 year old. I love we have something like this in Tucson. I will definitely be back. It's not to much for all the animals you see.

Cruz Aranda

Great! Kids loved it!

Carson Fuls

Great place for a quick trip with the kids. Animals are all very friendly, and the staff is great!

Kebin Palmaid

The girlfriend and I did zoo lights for the holiday and it was pretty fun. didn't see any animals but wasnt expecting to really.

Fraggle Haus

This is by far my favorite place to go in Tucson. Tucked out of the way in the city's northwest corner, The City Fought Farm has one of the most intriguing assortments of animals I've ever seen, together in one space. Not just that, but you get to touch and feed most, if not all of the animals, too! Talk about a treat! Fun for adults and kids, alike. Go to the Funny Foot Farm for an unforgettable experience, sure to provide a lifetime's worth of great stories.

FuzzyOne Mobile Grooming

This was so much fun! The staff was super nice and very knowledgeable about all the animals. The animals were all very friendly. We got to cuddle the baby goats and pet the porcupine's. The capybara's were so gentle taking the lettuce from us. I wish I could stay in the area to see the baby porcupine's but I will have to settle for coming back the next time we visit.

Kimberly Chadwick

Though not what I would imagine right off the bat, but once you walk in you are greeted with an array of different lil faces. A fun collection of different critters to interact with accompanied with a knowledgeable staff with fun facts and stories about their personalities.

K. J. Adler

This is one of a kind. Great place and so well run. The animals are healthy, happy and interactive. Great experience for kids and adults.

Anthony Villanova

My wife planned on stoping here for my son to pet the animals and we had so much fun. The staff is friendly and you could tell they love their job on how they take care of the animals. Definitely recommend for anyone.

Lulu Louton

I love this place. Such a unique find in Tucson. They have some really amazing animals you normally wouldn’t find and being able to interact with them up close is really cool. Like any petting zoo, it’s got animals and the smell that accompanies but I think that’s to be expected. The staff is great with kids and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

vic kieth

I have lived in Tucson for a long time and wish I found out about this place sooner. But my kids get to experience it. The little red jungle squirrel/ rodent guy was pretty cool. Not too far of a walk to take my 80 yr old friend who is going to love it too I am sure. Thank you funny foot farm.

Edward Theodore

Great experience. Lots of unique, friendly and healthy animals

Elisha D

My child had lots of fun. The baby goats were cute and the staff was polite. It was expensive as you pay full price for any child 2 years and older, which is $8 without a tour and $12 with the tour. The tour I took did not include the donkey/mini cow pen, even though the sign says that it would be included.

Dirk Harris

Great new local attraction. Thanks for a wonderful time. Looking forward to the kangaroos.

Matt Ray

As a visitor to Tucson, our family was looking for fun and budget friendly entertainment options and Funny Foot Farms was more than we expected! The animals there are great - you'll see typical petting zoo animals plus many exotics that are amazing. And the owners are friendly, knowledgeable and super accommodating. The value for what you'll spend is so worth it. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for something to do in Tucson - visitor or local. And here's a rumor/tip: If you slip the owner Ken $5, he'll do the emu dance for your whole party!!!

Ehud Gavron

Ok my God so awesome unbelievable professional clean cheap and you get to pet all the animals!!

Karisma Nelson

Such an amazing local farm that kids and adults are sure to love. My nephews and I had an incredible time learning about all the lovely adorable animals they have!

Michael Fenlason

Love this place. It's just off I-10 and has many exotic and surprisingly harmless creatures many form South America like capybaras and Patagonian maras. Yes, and sulcata tortoises. Friendly people and they keep you safely away from the porcupines.

Barbie Stern

My daughter loved it. We fed all the animals and she had a blast.

Kitrina Barry

We had a fantastic time and our Toddler really enjoyed it. The staff was great at pointing out which animals were the gentlest at taking food from kids.

David de Bruin

Excellent petting zoo. The staff are very friendly and have a lot of information to share about the animals they have on site. Lots of very cool animals and quite a few you wouldn't normally be able to get close to. Especially liked the porcupine enclosure.

Krystina Isaac

Had a great time with our toddler feeding and petting. Got the exotic tour and saw the porcupines! Daughter enjoyed the goats the most

Amy Maxwell

We got here at 6pm and tour started at 630, so we just went and fed the chickens and goats well we waited.. This was such a great find and my 4 year old son loved it. It was fun for husband and grandma also. We will definitely be back. The staff was so nice and very informative.

kim metcalf

We got to pet Capybaras. It was great experience!

Casey Scotten

I had a fantastic time today at the Tucson Petting Zoo and Funny Foot Farm. My boyfriend and I drove over an hour to visit for my birthday it was SO worth it. I will be back! The tour is fantastic. The people who work here are very invested in each and every animal and will be happy to tell you any info you're curious about. Every animal I was introduced to was well behaved and obviously taken care of. There was a strong bond and trust between our tour guide and those that they were responsible for. My expectations were exceeded and I highly recommend this place.

Autumn Thomas

Its cute and the kids liked it

Randell Davisson

Great and knowledgeable people running the farm. Healthy animals, obviously well taken care of. Fun for kids and adults alike. This is definitely a go-to spot for any occasion. Immediately off the freeway and easy to get to. Made a new friend names Charlie the capybara.

Hunter Davis

This place is AMAZING!!!!! Our two children loved it. It is so hands on and gives an experience that you will never forget. Many of the animals you can only look it at the zoo, but here you get to touch and feed them! We will be regulars because of how great it is. The animals are all in GREAT health and its very clean! I recommend wearing cloesed toe shoes. Such a good time!

Rachel Cohen

Had a really fun time! Giant Rodents, tortoise and birds... Oh my! My kids had an awesome time feeding all of the animals but especially the goats and sheep. Great thing to do if you have an hour or two. Thanks Funny Foot Farms!

Morgan Stertz

Such a fun place! You get up close and personal with animals you wouldn't otherwise see, let alone be able to pet. The tour guide is hysterical so it makes for good entertainment for children and adults!

Jordan Schmidt

This a great petting zoo. I've always wanted to pet a kangaroo!

replay290 Minecraft

got to fondle a few animals with some of my pals. real fun. the chickens were my favorite since they're a lot larger than my bantams. also got to fondle many rat-like animals, i unfortunately can't remember what they were called. i will definitely be going back.

Wallace Wendeborn

The animals were awesome, the staff and tour were great, and the price was very reasonable.

alex Kraft

Very friendly team. Great place to kill a few hours

Briana Isawesome

What an awesome morning! Im still kinda pumped. My one year old started out shy but completely took to it which was a great feeling. Georgie, the tour guide, was knowledgeable and you could tell the animals loved her and vice versa. She even helped us out a bit. I'm a fully grown woman but I felt just as excited as the kids. Definitely worth the long drive. We will be going back for sure.

marie fatato

We had a great time. It is a small petting zoo more like a little farm. The goats and sheep were our favorite to feed and pet. The staff was super friendly and informative. Great place to visit with kids.

Leticia Mills

So much fun! My son scored it 10++ out of 10. The owner was very nice and completed tour. You get to pet and feed all animals. It costs $8 but bring your quarters and extra cash for additional food...

brianna workman

This is such a fun place! So many exotic animals that I had never seen before. Get a tour, they are very knowledgeable and the kids and I learned a lot. We will definitely be going back again!

Francisco Garcia

Love this place not an insane amount of animals. But the tour is AWESOME!

Azdimondkat Azdiamondkat

It's a great place and my kids and nephews liked it so thumbs up

Larry Malott Jr

Awesome time loved all the animals and thanks to the staff for the great time

Carlos Castro

Not worth your time and money..too overpriced!! Just a few animals

Madelynn Long

Great tour guide and you leave feeling so happy. You get to feed all the animals and go into their cages. Such a breath taking experience.

Joseph Robson

We took the homeschool group there and got a great group rate. The staff was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable about the animals. Neat local small spot to learn stuff with the kids.

Dylan Tobia

I went here with my Girlfriend, Mother, and Sister, knowing full well that it is mostly for children. It was such a blast. You learn a lot, and get to pet a lot of really cool animals. Totally worth the money! Such a great place, and I am excited to go back.

Kacee Christensen

What a great adventure. I love all the animals. They were so friendly some a little pushy but it was all so much fun. Make sure you pet the pigs the big black one likes to talk back to you. Adorable!

Melissa Baker

Great place to go with your little ones!

Yana Sosnovskaya

family run petting zoo! It's very cool and stress - relief to pet animals such as capybara and pigs. Highly recommend this place for adults and kids.

Kim Henderson

This place is fun, the guides informative & great t-shirts for sale. Billie the dog is super sweet & ask for Randee for a guide he is supper funny with the "dad" jokes.

Kimberly Mason

It was a great experience for the kids and well worth the money. But the only animals you can feed on your own are the goats from outside the fence and the birds. All the other animals can only be pet and fed while in the tour, but the tour seems to happen pretty regularly. This was not at all the environment I thought it would be, it's an old auto mechanic garage and the more exotic animals are kept in the garage bays on concrete floors. Even for a petting zoo there was a LOT of poop and pee...it seems like the animals pens haven't been cleaned in days. You couldn't step anywhere without stepping in excrement. Probably won't go again unless the kids ask to go.

Irene Stefanuto

This place is the cutest. We had so much fun and the owner is very friendly. I can’t wait to go back once the open the bunny room and they get kangaroos!

Tony Reaves

This place is in an industrial area and doesn't make a great first impression, but the staff are great and the animals seem happy and well cared for. My 4-year-old had a wonderful time with the animals, especially the goats.

Angie Papple Johnston

The tour is absolutely worth the price of admission! The woman who gave us our tour was completely committed to the animals, and there were genuine, affectionate relationships between her and each one we saw. She told us great stories about all of the animals, including which goats were related, how a lot of the animals were born or came to live at the petting zoo, and what their silly personality quirks were. I definitely can't wait to go back - we spent a great afternoon there and look forward to meeting the kangaroos who are coming in the fall!

MaRii ToL

My kids had a blast!!

Yadira Canez

Loved it fory lil gorls 1st vist to zoo but need more places to cool off

charlie humble

Great local place to interact with some cool animals

laurie buzzell

Funny foot farm is a wonderful place with plenty of opportunities to pet a variety of animals. The staff is wonderful and very educational. We learned a lot about the different animals. I highly recommend Funny foot farm.

Rennie !!

If you love capybaras, come here and do the capybara lovers' tour. Randy is great. Ask for the primate heavy petting tour.

Rupert SansPédes

Friendly staff, and animals! Lots of fun.

Zabby Salaz

The owner is very rude and not very social but works the "" front desk". He made sure to tell us we couldn't gather around his area.... Animals were cute. Some of the birds bit my toddler. Over priced for what they have but nice for the children to enjoy!

Misty Villafuerte

The website makes this place look much fancier than it is, but the staff was friendly and the kids had fun. Great for a few hours if you have something else planned in Tuscon.

Donna BUTTS

This is my Happy Place. I just love the exotic animals. And you can provide them personal attention.

Robbin Riddell

Love the animals and owners

Alicia Hammon

Cant compare to the petting zoo's back in Wisconsin, didnt seem like a nice environment. My daughter liked it so that was good.

Jordan Turek

Was a great and fun family place to be at.

Amanda Hunt

We loved the petting zoo! It was small and intimate and we got to see all kinds of animals you normally wouldn’t get to interact with. The weather wasn’t in our favor, so they let us get a rain check for the following day.

Annette Chavez

We enjoy going to see the chicks, goats, donkey, cow, emus, and pigs. But most of all the capybaras are our favorite. This place takes very good care of the animals. We want to get the year membership package. Either way it's a good deal.

Maudena Kroeger

We love Funny Foot Farm. It may not look like much from the road or area it's in but you will be amazed at how great it is. The owners are always there to greet you. They are two of the best people I have ever met. They keep the place so clean and every animal is well fed and healthy. They teach you so much about the animals and you get to interact with every animal. From the amazing cappybera to quilled porcupines. There is so much to do, see and touch within a small area. Which makes it enjoyable for both small kids and the elderly.

Earl Rogers

Here you can witness caps taking naps in the afternoon snaps!

Angel Valdez

I love takeinf my family

A Google User

We had a wonderful visit this morning. The place was very easy to find. We did the regular admission + exotics tour for $12 per person. The animals were sweet, friendly, healthy and seemed happy and well cared for. There were shady areas for the animals to escape the sun. The people who run the place were friendly, nice and informative, it was very evident how much they loved the animals. Thanks for the experience!

Peggy Jo Miskimen

Perfect way to spend a couple hours. Educational and hands-on with most of the "residents"! Kids and adults will all enjoy, but be prepared for muddy ground.
