Cute, educational petting zoo for both adults and kids
Funny Foot Farm and Tucson Petting Zoo的点评
点评:I found out about this petting zoo through Tripadvisor when researching a day trip to Tucson from Phoenix. It's rare to find a petting zoo where you can interact with animals outside of a zoo, where there are always swarms of screaming children, so I decided to check it out. The surrounding area is a bit misleading and I thought I was at the wrong place at first because the farm is tucked in the middle of an industrial/trailer area. However, you'll see a bunch of cars parked outside with families walking around so it's hard to miss.
The farm itself has wide open pens for each animal type with covered shaded areas, so they all have plenty of space to walk around or relax away from people if wanted. People can go inside the more "domesticated" animal pens on their own to feed and interact with goats, chickens, and ducks. I appreciated that the more exotic animals require a tour so that there is a bit of supervision and instruction on how to interact with them properly. I'm an animal lover so I'm always on the look out for any red flags of mistreatment in these kinds of settings since I would never want to support businesses that use animals just for profit. However to my untrained eye the animals all seemed content, clean, and well taken care of. I also liked that the tour included a bit of education of each animal, so it's a bit more than just a petting zoo. No this place is nothing "glamorous" like a zoo that's more built for humans to enjoy, however the animal needs are met and its a cozy, quiet place to meet animals like capybara, mara, and more.
If you're in need of baby goat cuddles, I'd definitely recommend a visit!
翻译:我在研究从凤凰城到图森的一日游时,通过 Tripadvisor 发现了这个宠物动物园。在动物园外很难找到可以与动物互动的宠物动物园,那里总是成群结队的尖叫孩子,所以我决定去看看。周边地区有点误导,一开始我以为我走错了地方,因为农场隐藏在工业/拖车区的中间。但是,您会看到外面停着一堆汽车,家人四处走动,所以很难错过。
农场本身为每种动物类型都设有敞开的围栏,并带有遮盖的阴影区域,因此它们都有足够的空间四处走动或在需要时远离人群放松。人们可以自己进入更“驯化”的动物围栏内喂养山羊、鸡和鸭子并与之互动。我很欣赏更奇特的动物需要参观,以便对如何与它们正确互动进行一些监督和指导。我是一个动物爱好者,所以我总是在寻找这些环境中任何虐待的危险信号,因为我永远不想支持那些为了盈利而使用动物的企业。然而,在我未经训练的眼睛看来,这些动物似乎都很满足、干净,并且得到了很好的照顾。我也喜欢这次旅行包括对每只动物的一些教育,所以它不仅仅是一个宠物动物园。不,这个地方一点也不像动物园那样“迷人”,它更适合人类享受,但是动物的需求得到了满足,它是一个舒适、安静的地方,可以遇见水豚、马拉等动物。
如果您需要小山羊拥抱,我绝对会推荐您访问!
