This attraction focuses on animal encounters and education.

It's particularly appealing to families looking for an activity that can fit into a morning or afternoon.

What to Expect on an Aruba Ostrich Farm Tour

  • Adult ostriches and emus.
  • Designated feeding areas.

Can You Feed Ostriches in Aruba?

Aruba Ostrich Farm offers supervised feeding opportunities as part of its visitor experience, subject to the farm's current arrangements.

Feeding an ostrich can be memorable because of the birds' size and powerful movements.

Ostriches are strong animals and should always be approached carefully.

Tips for feeding ostriches safely

  • Follow your guide's instructions.
  • Use only food provided or approved by farm staff.
  • Keep your hands and belongings away from the birds unless instructed otherwise.
