    Great place to visit !!
    Frank D.

    Try his place is adorable ! It is also simple and well managed. They have a great system for people to come in .. Feed the babies .. buy some swag .. then enjoy the rest of the day. The prices are clearly marked and directions are simple. There are plenty of spots to walk around and feed the birds. Posted signs ate there to remind everyone yo respect the wildlife and their habitat . The proximity you can achieve to these beautiful animals is so gratifying ! The costs are quite low but extremely reasonable. The back area is clean and well kept. The staff are helpful, friendly, and willing to answer questions! Will return soon to feed these guys again! Lived it here !! Cheers !!

    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.

    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.

    We came in right before closing, as they close at 5 pm. The farm did not disappoint. It's $7 per person and if want to feed the Ostrich it's $1 a bowl. Recommend getting 2 -3 there's several. My only concern were a few ostrich seemed to be loosing hair. There is plenty to see, and if feeding its a good opportunity to interact. Just do it with caution as they eat pretty aggressively. We had fun. After we stopped by the gift shop that has a bit of ostrich merchandise. We got each a pair of cute ostrich earrings.

    They are crazy piranhas, loved it! Happened upon it, it was worth a fun little stop to feed those crazy dinosaur birds

    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.

    Amazing experience and wonderful staff! There's lots of ostriches and emus in their lot that you can feed! Each feeder is $1 and entry ticket is $7-10 depending on the season. We came around 4 PM and the ostriches were hungry. The last time I came midday they weren't hungry and didn't eat much

    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~

    Who knew feeding ostrich and emu would make it onto your bucket list? We had fun stopping to see them roaming around the property that we saw them on when we originally drove past them on our way into Solvang. With the weather being questionable, it just made sense to go do something different for a change. We paid our entrance fees from the parking lot before entering the store. We hadn't planned on buying any feed for the ostriches and emus so we still had to stop to make that purchase. It was interesting to see the emus and fun to watch them eat. They were much gentler than we expected but maybe they were on good behavior that day? They were all quite vocal but trying to figure out which one was making all the noise was a challenge. Some of the emus were walking away from the fence but we couldn't figure out why they were leaving. We moved over to feed the ostrich which were surprisingly much larger than we realized. As far as we could tell they only have two toes while the emus have three. There are definitely zoo animal smells going on so if anyone has sensitive olfactory senses they should be forewarned. We enjoyed our visit and encourage others to visit too! Great for families with kids!

    Such a cool experience. Being able to be up close and personal with the Ostrich & EMU, being able to see the fine details of their face. $10 Entry / $1 to feed. I learned that if you tip the bowl down they can see the food better and will peck softer and will be less likely to make ya jump Staff is friendly, if your lucky they will be out and about giving off info on the animals that are up at the gate with you

    Ostrichland USA is a fantastic stop for families, kids, and adults alike. We visited during the holidays and found the pricing incredibly reasonable at $10 for adults and $5 for kids. We went the weekend after Christmas at 1030am and they asked if we had tickets before letting us park. May be better when it's not the holidays. Highlights: * The Animals: There are tons of ostriches and emus. Even if they don't seem hungry at first, a little patience goes a long way--you'll be feeding them in no time! * Perfect Timing: It's a great way to spend about one hour of your day. * Value: Beyond the entry fee, the gift shop is also very fairly priced with great souvenirs. A quirky, affordable, and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

    Emu!

    Came to Ostrichland USA after hearing about it from a friend and then also finding out that it was nearby one of our stops along the way to Solvang/SoCal/Disney. What a cool place to be! Ostrichland is located just off the 246 right before you hit Solvang. We came on a Wednesday afternoon and there were maybe 2 or 3 other groups of people... not busy or crowded at all! Here's how it works: - Walk in through the main gift shop to pay for entry - It is $7 to get in + $1 if you want to feed them, which seems like such a great deal for an hour or two of entertainment! - A worker will hand you a bowl that has a handle and a small scoop of pellets to feed the birds! - Make sure you're holding TIGHT on that bowl; some of the birds will try to grab the bowl instead of the food lol Not only were there ostriches both young and mature, there were also EMU! They growled like dinosaurs! On top of that there are a bunch of squirrel... taking advantage of all the dropped food I'm sure haha PS they have a resident kitty named Piper who is about 15 years old! She is so cute! Such a great unforgettable stop and worth the visit for sure.

    Rules :)

    I mean how couldn't this be cool! You have to do it at least once. Stop in while you're in Solvang and reserve a spot online or you can purchase once there. Lots of dirt parking off the main road, little gift shop before entering and check-in is quick. You can purchase feed bikes for $1 each at counter. Once in there are many areas to feed the ostriches and emus. Careful just like they say they will peck you! Or grab your bowl haha strong they are!!! Employees are nice, there are port-o-potties outside, a water filling fountain and its wheelchair/ mobility scooter accessible. They take cash or card for payment.

    In my day…read more. I have been to so many Vineyards & even a few Farms too. But this place.. Is a twofer! Yeah, baby! A Vineyard AND a Farm! Beat that Napa Valley! Ok, Ok.. I know Napa Valley is like THE Mecca of Wineries, at least in California, & going there once before, I kinda understand, kinda. But is it really that much better? In my humble opinion.. Ehh. It was whatever Sure, I'm down dropping a nice crispy Benjamin to get that aged, vintage 2013 Cab.. But will I really care, or even notice once that bottle is depleted & I'm now ordering the 2nd least expensive Chenin Blanc on the menu just to wash away all my worries. (Suddenly, Every wine snob, wine aficionado & novice sommelier enters the chat) But, But Lance, it's Napa, How dare you speak against this Holy Land of all Superior Wine. And to that I say, I get it. I truly understand that not all wine is created equally, but also that not all of us have the BIG BUCKS to continuously drop $100 big ones on that prized Napa Cab. Hey, call me crazy, but to me, it's not just ALL about the wine that is produced, but more about the overall experience. It's the vibe. It's the way you are treated. & it's definitely about how they made you feel. Anyone else getting Maya Angelou vibes?? IYKYK ;) **All Wine Snobs have left the Chat** *Vega Vineyard and Farm has entered the chat* Alright team Vega, sit back, kick your feet up, & just listen while I brag a little about you. It was a BEAUTIFUL November afternoon just 4 days prior to Thanksgiving. We were heading back south from Paso Robles & decided to make a little pit stop before getting all the way back home. So my wife looked up wineries in the area that were kid friendly & Vega was at the top of the list. Walking in, we noticed that they had a little restaurant right at the entrance, so we went to put our name down for a table. Unfortunately, the wait time was a little longer than we wanted to wait, only because we had the kids with us, but the hostess suggested if we didn't want to wait, that they had more food on the other end of the farm in "Pops Place". Other than the wine itself, eating the food in "Pops Place" was probably the best move we could have unintentionally made that day. (I'll explain in a bit) So we slowly made our way towards the other side of the farm/vineyard & all I can say is, what a gorgeous property it was. The farm life, the outdoors, the weather, & I was with my Fam. It couldn't have been a better day! Once we got to Pops Place, it was like we entered into a whole new world. A huge area for kids with a jungle gym, stations for outdoor games & activities, benches to sit, even private cabanas you can reserve (not sure if there is a cost) & of course a little shack to order food and wine! So remember earlier when I said eating in Pops Place was probably the best move we could have made that day, Well here are 3 reasons why! 1) We ordered the George's Greek Gyro Pita w/fries (a beef gyro with lettuce, tomato, onions & tzatziki wrapped in a pita) and.. OH. MY. GAWDDD It was so flippin' GOOD! It was so good, that I didn't even have time to snap a pic, let alone set it down after taking that 1st bite. It was complete perfection! 2) Chicken Strips & Fries from the kids menu w/a side of ranch.. Let's just say, The kids loved 'em. 3) We washed it all down w/a beautiful, crisp, perfect for a fall day, 2024 bottle of their finest ALBARIÑO. & it was, EXCELLENT!! After we sat & ate, let the kids get out all of their energy, the fun at Vega continued. From there, we headed to feed the livestock on the property (lettuce sold onsite for a few bucks). There were Chickens, Goats, Pigs, Emu's & Sheep, and the kids and myself had a blast feeding 'em. After that, we stopped off at one of their gift shops to browse all of the fun stuff. Of course, we got the kids their requested candy! The staff we interacted with while at Vega were all so kind, welcoming & made us feel apart of the extended Vega family. Because of this, we will definitely be coming back next time we pass through. So, & this is where YOU come in! The next time you are passing through Buellton, do yourself, your spouse and your kids, if you've got them, a HUGE favor: Come check out Vega Vineyard & Farm and tell me that I was right!

    Had a great family brunch at Vega Vineyard and Farm in Buellton and it checked all the boxes. The…read morewine was solid across the board, easy to sip and perfect for a slow brunch vibe. Best part was they actually make it fun for families. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and entertainment to keep them busy while the adults relax and enjoy a glass.
