We arrived and were going to eat there as it says on their website they have a restaurant, but found out it had burned down a few months back. Therefore, we did the tour only. The tour is a bit overpriced @ $12 per person, however it is a must do in Aruba. You do a walk through their ostrich... More

Since we had a car for the day, this was cute to stop at and learn about ostriches. You get to feed them, which was fun for the kids. Make sure to bring a hat and sunblock! It gets hot when your inland!

If like us, you know little about ostriches and emus the ostrich farm is worth visiting. The tour guide was very personable but had obviously delivered the talk MANY times. It's a bit off the beaten path but the farm is interesting. One visit is probably enough.

Seeing, learning about and feeding the ostriches was great and very informative. It's really too bad about the fire in the restaurant but I would never eat ostrich anyway..... so completely worth the trip and fee to spend some time on the farm either way. The peacock was very handsome and there were goats and emu and more... I wish... More

We stopped here as part of a tour with ABC. We thought it was a bit of a tourist trap since the birds are not native to Aruba. Our guide had such an accent that it was hard to understand what he was saying. They did give you a lot of info about the birds, great if you have a... More

The tour guide tortured the ostriches. He said he was "teasing" them. We were told by the guide they are trying to breed more ostriches in order to eat them and their eggs, but that currently this is a tourist attraction. Wild animals do not belong on a farm, especially when they are being mistreated.

We took our three kids to learn about ostriches and what a fab day out. Our tour guide Gina was great and so funny too....she made learning really fun. I would definitely recommend The Ostrich Farm for something a bit different to do. And well worth the fee. It was pity the restaurant wasn't open yet after the fire but... More

Captain Edwardo took us by for a quick visit and it was very informative. The keeper kept saying that the birds are born legally stupid because their brain is the size of a walnut. We enjoyed our visit and it is well worth seeing.

We went here via ABC tours and it was fun. The staff is very professional and funny!!! You will learn a lot about these big birds and there are plenty of up close and personal picture opportunities. You even get to feed them if you are brave enough. The staff will warn you about shiny objects and how they like... More
