St. Ignace, MI – Since 1950, Deer Ranch in St. Ignace, Michigan has been welcoming visitors to get an up close look at nature.
Deer Ranch is home to white tail deer, including fawns and albino deer. They live in large fenced in areas where they are used to getting petted and fed by the guests.
There is also room for the deer to go off on their own, with brush and woodland areas to enjoy, plus plenty of native plants for them to munch on.
Entry is only $6 per person, and visitors can buy cups of carrot sticks, apple slices, or birdseed to feed the older deer through the fences. There is also a gift shop full of deer and nature-themed souvenirs. Out front a giant buck statue is there to greet guests.
Deer Ranch is open daily from Mid-May through Mid-October. The location is 1540 W. US 2, just four miles from the Mackinac Bridge, in St. Ignace. Learn more at https://www.deerranch.com/
