When we visited our group included family ages 5 Months, 4 Years, 30;s and 60's. We all had a great time and learned a lot. More

We were in a group of preschoolers, toddlers, and their parents. All the kids loved at least part of it. The toddlers (15 months and 22 month) did NOT like the lorikets, but that's a minor detail. Because the little kids (5 and under) are free the price was right for our group too. The $5 adult entrance fee got... More

This is a must see attraction. We have been there 4 times with our grandkids and loved it every time. It is small, but well worth the visit. They have so many ostriches to feed along with donkeys, deer and ducks. The lockette birdhouse is great because they have nectar available to feed them with and they land on you... More

We had so much fun at the Ostrich Ranch! Me, my husband, 2 1/2 year old and 8 month old went on the Monster truck adventure, and fed the variety of animals. The monster truck ride is about 45 minutes and the driver/guide "Dana ( I think that was her name)" was EXCELLENT! She gave a very informative history of... More

You drive past this random place on 1-10 between Tucson and Phoenix. After years of passing it, we finally stopped. What a blast. The ostriches are insane, but there are more than ostriches here. The goats, the little donkeys, the deer, the nutty birds. We - all adults, no kids - were thoroughly entertained. Definitely worth your time if you're... More

This place is for silly animal lovers. The price include starter snacks for the animals. It's not a long visit, but good fun if you just like to see animals up close. There are deer to pet, ostriches, and lorakeets. The ostriches up close are very strange creatures (they may think the same about me), and they can hit hard... More

So fun! We expected just ostriches, but for just $5 per person, we also got to pet and feed Sicilian donkeys, baby deer, goats, and Lorikeet birds. What a refreshing thing to have one's expectations exceeded and wallets still intact! More

I took my 18 y/o son here and a month later took my boyfriend. It's a great experience! For just $5/person you can have an incredibly fun time feeding donkeys, goats, ducks, and ostriches ... what could be more entertaining? This activity is for kids of all ages, and a great idea for out-of-town visitors. And best of all, you... More

This is not just about ostriches. You get to feed deer, goats, donkeys, and lorakeets as well. The monster truck is not to be missed (unless you have a bad back-it gets bumpy). The driver gives excellent information on the ostriches and the surrounding desert. It's friendly and lots of fun. More
