Rooster Cogburn's is one of those old-timey tourist traps you pass on road trips in the US. It's located right on Interstate 10 at Pikacho Peak. We've driven by it many times since moving to Arizona in 2014. It turned out to be an extremely clean and professionally-run animal-themed attraction where the residents are very well cared-for. For a $15 ticket you get a cup of large animal feed, a couple of tokens to purchase small animal feed from dispensers, a popsicle stick with sugary stuff stuck to it for the parakeets, a stalk of asparagus to feed one of the desert tortoises, and a small container of liquid feed for the lorikeets. After you return to the main building from your tour of the animals you get a couple of pieces of squid to feed the stingrays. And finally - of course - the gift shop. A pleasant way to spend the morning, and kids love it. It's open only in the morning.
