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! read more

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. read more

We booked tickets online and drove all the way over to find out Ostrichland was closed. We walked over trying to figure out what was going on and got shooed away like we were animals. Finally, I talked to someone who told me an email was sent to let us know they were closed today. I check my email, spam, trash to find nothing. No notice they were closed. I was quite mad at this point and the worker told us that we "could've called." Which was exactly what we did before. I called them 4 times with no response. Everyone was mean. I should just tranform into an ostrich because we were treated like animals eitherway. Our tickets were finally refunded. Let's never come here. This was supposed to be my graduation gift. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We came to Solvang for the day and our friend's suggested we visit Ostrichland USA so our son can see the giant birds. It was actually a fun place and a lot bigger than I anticipated. My son was me mesmerized by the amount of ostrich and emus that were at farm. One thing that you have to be careful, specially if you have little ones, some of the birds can be quiet aggressive when feeding them and I saw some people get pecked. We were there for less than an hour and that was enough time for us to walk around the entire farm and feed the ostrich and emus. We had a great experience overall and recommended for families to try at least once and worth the memories. read more

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~ read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I had such a fun stop at OstrichLand USA on the way to Solvang! It's one of those quirky roadside spots that ends up being way more memorable than you expect. Feeding the ostriches and emus was definitely the highlight--they come right up to you, and it's such a unique (and slightly hilarious) experience. It felt interactive without being overwhelming, and you can tell the animals are used to visitors. What I really loved is how affordable it is. It's a quick, low-cost activity that still feels like a full experience, especially if you're just passing through. Perfect little break from the drive, and something different from the usual stops. Overall, such a fun and unexpected gem. I'd absolutely recommend making the stop if you're heading to Solvang--you'll leave with great memories. read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

Had so much fun at Ostrichland! I've never been so close to ostriches or emus before. We came around 10AM on a weekend, which was the perfect time! It wasn't crowded at all (whereas I've seen later in the afternoon, the parking lot looked packed). Entry was $10/adult and each feeding bowl was $1. Right when you enter, you're greeted by some eager ostriches and emus! But there's much more in the back too. I loved seeing the ostriches just doing their thing out in the open fields. The ones that are ready for your pellet food will come up to the fence, ready for you to feed them! Some of the ostriches can get pretty aggressive with very strong pecking haha. I found that emus were a little more gentle. Overall, such a fun and unique experience. It was cool being so close to these magnificent creatures! Don't forget to check out the gift shop - they have everything emu and ostriches.. including emu and ostrich eggs! read more

I celebrated my birthday at Ostriland with my family, and it turned out to be such a special and fun experience. Feeding the ostriches was hilarious and a little surprising at times they definitely keep you on your toes! The best part was that we had the whole place to ourselves. It felt calm and private, which made it even more memorable. Entry was $7 per person, and each plate of food for the ostriches was only $1, which is very reasonable for the experience. It was a simple, different, and joyful way to spend my birthday. Lots of laughter, lots of funny moments, and memories I'll cherish with my family. If you're looking for something unique to do, especially with kids or loved ones, this place is worth checking out. read more

Cute stopover. The gift shop employees seem stressed out though, but it might have been the requests. A guy from the military wanted untreated ostrich feathers which caused a bit of confusion and an unexpected shift change, as well as some troubles with the pressed penny machine read more

$7 admission + $1 for feed. Free parking in a dirt lot. Fairly priced for the admission and for the feeding. The ostriches and emus have a huge space to wander. Glad they weren't kept in an enclosed area. There are also a pair of super cute bunnies by the entrance/exit! We came on a weekend around 2pm and it was busy but not super crowded. We were able to get parking. The only thing is that none of the birds seemed hungry anymore. Makes sense since who knows how many people were feeding them all day. But we ended up not being able to feed that many birds since they didn't want to eat read more

This place is awesome! We brought our granddaughters here. You buy a bowl of food for $1 and you go out to feed them. There are Ostriches and Emu of all different sizes and ages. Be sure to wear closed toed shoes as you'll be walking in dirt. We bought 10 bowls of food to feed them all. Go early so the animals will be hungry as later on in the day they don't eat as much. read more

My family and I were pretty blown away by how large this place was and how many ostriches were just roaming around. Admission was $7 for adults and $3 for kids. Feeding bowls are $1 each. It was a lot fun to help my son hold the bowl while all the ostriches and emus came and pecked away at it. They eat pretty aggressively and try to snatch the whole thing out of your hands. Some of them even start fighting eachother, but they didn't seem agressive towards ppl at all. You can get pretty close with just an open fence between you, but they were pretty calm when there wasn't a food bowl in their face. Fun for all ages and definitely recommend stopping by. Hope you enjoy! read more

This was a very interesting experience. The ostriches are desperate to get their ostrich food.... It's kind of scary and sad at the same time. You are told how to feed them. It was somewhat scary to see how desperate they are for food.... But that is the nature of Ostriches! The owner has told me that.... They do not harm these birds or sell them to be killed read more

When in solvang/buelton, go see these hubgry ostrich and emus. And chipmunks? Reserved ONLINE before visiting, they're strict on this. They won't let you past the threshold of the farm without a reservation. I get it they need their $, but customer service could be a little more friendly at the front. The guys that give the food were cool. Cute gift shop but not cheap and the offerings were not too extensive. Glad we did this with our kiddos overall it was a fun experience! read more

We've driven past this place so many times over so many years. For some reason, never stopped. This time we did. It was ... fun and funny. Definitely worth the $7 admission (plus free parking in a dirt lot). A couple bucks gets you a huge bowl of feed, the ostriches and emus are clearly used to humans (though beware: they peck). Great for kids but lots of adults on their own, too. read more

One of my favorite experiences. Learned so much about these amazing creatures and engaging with them through feeding, was a treat. Some fees: $7 a person and a bowl of food was $1. Very affordable and going towards a good organization. The farm has a gift shop and restrooms with plenty parking. Ostrich's have the most gorgeous eyes! They were so sweet. Fun fact: they DO NOT bury their heads in the dirt/sand! Lol what a myth. I highly recommend a stop here. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Ostrichland was a fun excursion and now I could finally take my family. They have lots of lively animals we got the feet emus and ostriches young and old dozens in separate areas. The kids loved it the animals were nibblers and aggressive, however their fencing is designed to limit their strengths so that makes it safe for my kids to feed. They are very hungry and they love interacting with people even though the baby emus are fearless. Worth the price you stay as long as you like we stay for about 45 minutes and it was fun and the kids loved it. Just a reminder, no petting the animals or writing the animals as my son was asking. We walked away with a nice ostrich egg I must say was delicious and extra fluffy please be sure to mix it well to get your good scrambled eggs. read more

Aside from working the streets of Solvang, Ostrichland was our main attraction on our trip. We got up and arrived right at opening and there were lots of people in line already. Admission seems a bit pricey for what you're getting but I guess they have to make money somehow. We walked around and fed the ostrich's and emus. They were scary up close lol but weren't too aggressive. Just hold on tight to those feeding pans! We spent less than 30 mins walking around and feeding the animals. It's not a very big space. I probably wouldn't go again but it was a very unique experience and I'm glad we do go. read more

Must visit while passing through! We had no interest in seeing the rest of Solvang, but this was a fun and quick stop, especially if you have kids. Admission was $17 for 2 adults, 2 kids and 1 food bowl. Takes about had an hour. Reviewers were right about how crowd and time of day reflects how hungry they are. If it's peak times with many guests, they won't be as hungry and staff will tell you the truth. We only bought 1 bowl and managed to find some birds to feed. It's dusty and out in the open so even with mild weather, bring a hat. They had a few misters on but not enough. Gift shop staff let my kids hold the ostrich and emu egg for a pic! She was so sweet and helpful. Def recommend! read more
