    Great experience. Feeding these beautiful feathered birds. Tickets are $7 for general entry and $5 for seniors. Astrich and Emu eggs are sold . Great experience for all. The gift store is a stop to see too. Also. A shaded bench with mist is nice .

    This is exactly what a roadside attraction is supposed to be: unique, inexpensive, and fun. Just being able to see Ostrich and Emu up close was worth the small admission price. Obviously you are not experiencing the else creatures in anything resembling their natural environment but it was fun to get close to them and to feed them. Watching them eyeing you approach the fence with the feeding tray and jostling for position was amusing. Even loved all the ground squirrels around battling for scraps. We couldn't have spent more than 30 minutes here but was definitely a highlight of our day.

    We had a wonderful time here! Feeding the animals was such a memorable experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful and this is one of the few things around that is still affordable for a family. You can purchase large bowls of food for only $1. We were there for a little over an hour but, honestly, i could have stayed all day. Waking areas are uneven dirt with a slight hill. I would not recommend this for wheelchair use. I used my cane instead.

    It was such a fun experience feeding the Ostrich with my nephew and niece. I definitely recommend it if you are in the area. I recommend having the kids feed the baby ostrichs first though, my neice, 9 years old, was a little fearful of the grown Ostrich at first but after a few trys she loved it. My Nephew, 2 years old, loved it all around!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We stopped at OstrichLand USA on our way to Solvang, and it turned out to be a fun and memorable stop for the whole family! There is free parking, a nice gift shop, and plenty of opportunities to get up close with the ostriches. One of the highlights is that you can feed the ostriches for just $1, which the kids absolutely loved. They also enjoyed taking lots of photos with these amazing birds. There are more than 10–15 ostriches, so there are plenty to see, along with a few other birds. Watching the ostriches come right up to visitors for food is a unique experience and makes for great pictures. If you’re driving to or from Solvang, this is a worthwhile 30–60 minute stop that’s fun for both kids and adults. Highly recommended!
