We'd visited Artestruz last time we were in Mallorca (4 years ago), and now that we were free to travel, we wanted to visit again. We were greeted by Uri, the co-founder, and it was nice to share a moment of reconnection. We'd hoped that our younger son might have the chance to ride an ostrich as our older son had last time, but Jumbo (the only ostrich who had been happy to be ridden) had retired a few months ago. There are hopes that one of his offspring will take over in future, but this may be a little while off yet. Undeterred, we took our bowls of seeds/stones and 'green chocolate' and went to feed the ostriches. One of Uri's sons, Jonathan, gave us a briefing on feeding the ostriches and reminded us that while they don't have teeth, they do try to nip things that they can, demonstrating this with a curled index finger. If you choose to feed the ostriches with one of the wooden spoons provided, make sure you offer it flat, else they can nip them and take the spoon with the seeds! Same goes for using gloves to have them eat out of your palm - we saw a few gloves nipped off hands when they weren't being held tightly enough! I even braved the cheeky technique of getting a couple of ostriches to eat out of the feeding bowls over my shoulders (as demonstrated by Jonathan), though much to the horror of some other visitors. You can walk around the farm to see some of the ostriches that weren't in the feeding area (those that Jabulani had scared off!) and you can sit in with the baby ostriches too, though there were only two of them this year. Dotted around the farm are QR codes that you can scan so you can listen to an audio guide about ostriches and learn more about these fascinating creatures. It's a great educational experience for all, and it is amazing to be so close to them. The Loffler family are fantastic and really make you feel welcome on their farm, and their passion for ostriches and education comes through really clearly. The visitor area has a comfortable seating/dining area where Jumbo can usually be found, a kitchen that serves up delicious food (see separate review of Artestruz as a restaurant), a play area for younger children and a boutique selling ostrich-related products. Artestruz is a great place to spend a couple of hours if you're in Mallorca, and we'd recommend it highly. See you next time!

Artestruz is a fabulous place for families with children. We spent about 3 hours there between feeding the ostriches and having the delicious brunch (€15). They have loads of toys around the place and different play areas for small children. It’s a relaxing place and the staff is very friendly and polite. My toddler loved the whole experience and is still talking about the ostriches. It’s amazing that Jumbo (a friendly ostrich) comes to welcome us and allow everyone to stroke him. I would definitely recommend to families and animal lovers and wanna come back next year!

This is a must see for animal lovers. The farm has a very casual, friendly and welcoming vibe and it’s clear that the ostriches are very loved. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a giant ostrich (Jumbo) walking around the welcome area. For an additional 5€ you can get a bowl of feed and I would highly recommend! Basically after being introduced to the ostriches you’re given free reign to feed, interact, take pictures and learn more about them. There’s little QR codes across the farm where you can learn more, and you’re free to go at your own pace and stay as long as you like. It was so much fun and incredibly awe-inspiring to be able to interact so closely with such large, unique animals. We stayed for hours. There’s an adorable gift shop where various ostrich souvenirs are sold— they sell ostrich egg shells!! Super unique and cool souvenirs. I absolutely loved my experience here, it was the best part of my trip to Mallorca. I’d go back every day if I could.
