Welcome to a little slice of Western heritage that offers much to see, so take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know. One of the main attractions is the large walk-in petting zoo. It's complete with pigs, chickens, peacocks, goats, sheep, and miniature ponies waiting for you to pet and show them some love. In addition to the petting zoo, yard games are scattered throughout the Ranch. You're welcome to try roping a steer, playing a game of connect four, giant jean-ga, horseshoes, and more. These games are guaranteed to keep the whole family entertained for hours.

Are you ready to experience spine-tingling accounts of hauntings during visits to Phoenix's most haunted destinations? Join Phoenix Ghost Tour and discover why Phoenix is one of the most haunted cities in the Southwest. The ghost tour of downtown Phoenix takes you through the city's dark history and introduces you to some of the most well-known spirits and legends that haunt the streets. From the local legends to the resident ghosts, you'll hear blood-chilling stories of the tragedies in the city that have left their mark on the area.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city by taking a self-guided quarter-mile nature trail that features over 1,500 recorded petroglyphs on nearly 600 boulders, native desert plants, and animals in their natural habitat at the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve. The preserve also has historical research data and displays of ongoing Southwest archaeology research by ASU faculty and students. The museum, gallery, trail, and free audio tour are available for the petroglyph trail. The university has been operating, protecting, and preserving the site since 1994, and there are plenty of opportunities to explore and learn more about the area and indigenous cultures through guided tours, publications, and ongoing lecture series.
