    This was a good experience. Got to see a good amount of Ostriches and Emus in a single place. It is a dirt farm for the birds so don't wear your best white shoes, they will get very dusty. They seemed pretty friendly even though they looked a little scary. As long as you feed these birds don't won't go ape. Fun site to visit if you pass by the area.

    They have lots of selfie photo area

    Was great place to stop on your way to Solvang. We liked that it was pet friendly with leash. It was fun to walk along fence and pick and chose who to feed. Careful the bigger ones will try to take the bowl out of your hands. Had fun time and would recommend for young and old. There is plenty of parking too.

    Stopping at Ostrichland USA on our way home from Solvang a few weeks ago was a must on our itinerary! Pricing was $7 for adults and $3 for kids under 12 plus $1 for each person wanting to feed the Ostrich and Emu. You enter through a gift shop and then out to where all of the birds are - they even had a couple of bunnies and a cat. There were so many Ostrich and Emu spread out everywhere. They come right up to you and just start pecking away! Tip: if you walk down further where the Emu are, there is more room to move around and plus there are lots of birds to feed. I think the Ostrich at the front of the entrance get most of the food - we felt bad not going to where the others were. The whole area was pretty cool - it kind of felt like we were on a safari with how picturesque the mountains and land were. The lady running the gift shop who also explained the rules was very nice! I highly recommend if you have small kids or just need a place to stop and stretch your legs! They offer bathrooms as well! Check them out!

    Haiku: Ostrichland Part farm and part zoo Feed ostriches and emus Bring the family! --- When in Solvang, you must stop by Ostrichland! Ostrichland is a ranch, farm, zoo, and park all rolled into one! This is a popular spot with families. It's such a unique and fun opportunity to feed ostriches and emus up close. Kids love it here. When feeding these giant birds, be sure to hold the feeding bowl handle tightly with two hands. Their peck is strong! There are plenty of photo ops around the sprawling farm. They are eager and will pose for food! Parking is plentiful on their private lot. There's also a gift shop with ostrich souvenirs and even eggs to buy! Make sure to check their hours on holiday weekends; sometimes, they close early.

    We stopped by this ostrich farm near Solvang and honestly had a really nice time. I think it's especially fun if you have kids feeding the birds and walking around the farm is a cool experience. The drive there is beautiful and it's very close to Solvang, so it's easy to get to. The farm is pretty big, and I liked that the birds had a lot of space in their enclosures. There's also a cute little gift shop at the entrance with toys and souvenirs. The lady working there was super nice and explained everything to us. They give you food to feed the ostriches, which makes the whole visit even more fun. The only downside was the smell in some areas. The enclosures probably could be cleaned a little more often. They also planted lavender around the farm, which looked really pretty honestly even more lavender would make the place feel even nicer. Overall, definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. It's a fun way to spend about an hour outdoors.

    Been here multiple times and it's always a fun and unique experience every single visit. This place is huge and houses many ostrich and emus that you are able to feed. After purchasing an admission ticket, the guide gives you a brief run down of the place and how to feed the birds. They are vicious and like to peck at the food tray really hard so be sure to hold on tight when feeding. There are bathrooms and sinks to use after feeding and staff are friendly and welcoming. There is a small little gift shop with neat items to purchase like emu eggs and more, and cool photos ops throughout the farm. Definitely a must stop when visiting Solvang!

    When going to Solvang, you gotta stop here. This is just as enjoyable for adults as it is for kids. There is a $7 entrance fee and then you pay $1 for a bowl of food for the animals. There are Emus and Ostriches to feed. When you first enter, it looks like there is just a small section but the property is quite large with several large pens and areas for the animals. There are even some viewing platforms at the bottom of the hill that you can feed and watch the Ostriches running around. The feet is a bowl with a handle so it's easy to keep your hands away from being pecked. The entire experience is probably 30-40 minutes to spend time at. There is a small gift shop and a set of bunnies on the exit. The porta-potties are really clean and smell okay. The rest of the farmland smells like farm. lol A great experience and wonderful staff.

    A small place that visitors can visit with or without their dogs. Entry fees are reasonable. People can also feed the Ostriches and Emus by adding $1 extra. People feed the Ostriches and Emus in the front but there are lots more in the back. The staff should let people know there are more in the back.

    OstrichLand is one of those places where you think to yourself, it's just a bunch of ostrich but then you get there and it's way cooler than expected. $7 admission + $1 for each bowl of feed. There is parking in the dirt lot out front but more overflow parking in the back. It's a choose your own adventure experience once you pay for the admission so spend as little or as much time as you'd like here. The ostriches and emu have so much space to wander. I came at around 4 pm, one hour before closing time. This was a great time because I was pretty much the only one there so I could take as many pictures of the animals as I wanted and they were hungry! I ended up buying four bowls of feed. The whole experience took me about 30 experiences. If you're visiting Solvang, I highly recommend driving over to Buellton and stopping by here. Timing could also be important so coming earlier or later in the day could mean less people and more attention from the animals. The gift shop also sells ostrich eggs and emu eggs. Last price check was $45 for the ostrich eggs and $25 for the emu eggs.

    This is the spot!!!

    Sooo much fun & scary @ the same time!!! This is my 3rd time doing this w/ my sisters. There's an admission fee & then u pay for bowls of food which is only $1 more. There's many spots where u can feed the ostriches or emus. Ostriches will come out of the field 4 the food & by golly gee, they r huge creatures!!! They will bit the bowl & try & take it from u!!! There was also a kitty laying there that I got 2 pet, but was warned that the cat is not the friendliest cat & will snap when he doesn't want any more pets. The emus r not as big as the ostriches, but they r just as feisty. I also got 2 see some young emus!!! Great service!!

    Just off the roadside before entering Solvang is this fun little side attraction. Yes, it is a tourist trap but I had fun feeding and interacting with the ostrich and emus on this ranch. Spent about 30 minutes here to feed and take some photos. It was fun. I took home a small ostrich finger puppet plush as a souvenir.

    I have never been to Ostrichland, even though I have passed by a number of times while on route to Solvang! But... I finally visited, and fed an ostrich! Here are my thoughts. Admission was $7 per person, and the feed was $1. They do have special rates for seniors and Military so bring ID if you'd like to take advantage of those! We arrived around noon, and though it was in the middle of December, it felt HOT. The sun is pretty strong, and burns your skin, and there is barely any shade so plan accordingly. The grounds had both ostriches and emus, placed in different pens so you can enjoy different feeding experiences. Some of the birds seemed very well fed, because they ignore your bowl. Overall a fun little pit stop, and something fun to do at least once! I do regret not taking more photos with them, but I was scared of getting pecked~

    Ostrichland USA is such a hidden gem. It's a great spot for kids, adults, and even a fun date idea. This was our second time visiting, and the admission prices are very fair: $7 for adults and $4 for kids. Feed is $1 and one container per family is more than enough as we still had leftovers and ended up sharing with another couple. The whole experience takes about 30 minutes. My 5-year-old son absolutely loved it, and this will definitely be a core memory for him. If you're visiting Santa Barbara or Solvang, I highly recommend stopping by. 5 stars overall for a great experience and the free, dedicated, and ample parking.

Our employees had an amazing time! Riding the tractor was a hit, visiting with the Scottish Highland Mini Bull was so much fun, and our animal encounter with the goat was a favorite too. The lunch was great -- the sandwiches were served on homemade bread that was really tasty. The setting was perfect, with ample shade, a nice breeze, and comfortable temperatures. If you're looking for a venue for a company party or special event, I can't recommend Vega Vineyard & Farm highly enough. Huge thanks to Jessi, Kelly, and the whole team for making our celebration so memorable!

Glad we added it to the itinerary. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. The olive oil tasting farm is located in a nice neighborhood area in downtown Los Olivos. There is parking accessible in the back parking lot and limited parking next to the olive oil tasting area and boutique shop. As soon as we parked and headed to the olive oil tasting area, we were greeted by a very friendly and hospitable staff member. I appreciated all the information she told us about the property and instructions about the olive oil tasting experience. Their complimentary olive oil tasting was unique and unlike any other olive oil tasting I had ever done before. There were 10 different olive oils to taste from. You are given a freshly made sourdough bread slice to go along with a tray with a menu sheet of all the olive oils. Some of the olive oils that stood out to me were the white truffle, garlic, and Italian honey. We were then encouraged to explore the rest of the property where there was a charcuterie cart, pottery vendor, and complimentary wine tasting on the other side of the premises. This enhanced our olive oil tasting experience even more. The rest of the property was beautiful as there were a lot of tables and chairs for guests to enjoy. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Olive + Lavender Farms. The staff were nice and accommodating. The vibe was relaxing and inviting. The boutique shop were selling a lot of wonderful and distinctive local products in the area. The olive oils price point are in the higher end. Next time we are in the area we would love to come back.
