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.
Please check here for updates: http://www.pr.state.az.us/Parks/parkhtml/picacho.html
You may wish to update the park closure notice at the beginning of your Overview section. The park is now open and the visitor center construction is complete.
