Stopping at Ostrichland USA on our way home from Solvang a few weeks ago was a must on our…read moreitinerary! 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!

We stopped by this ostrich farm near Solvang and honestly had a really nice time. I think it's…read moreespecially 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.

I grew up on a small farm in agricultural area, so I'm not as interested as my friends were. Hearing the cows say moo and sheep say baa made me chuckle a bit.

Everything is well organized, so it's easy to find what you want without feeling overwhelmed. Staff were friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better.

If you're hungry you can grab a roasted ear of corn. There are many treats to grab and go. Jams, pies, fresh produce all in a charming environment. My only disappointment is there aren't any savory items to grab and go, which seems like a missed revenue opportunity. I was hoping to grab a sandwich cold or to go salad. If there was a small space dedicated for the customer looking for a quick healthy meal to go, I think it would be a welcome addition to an already wonderful spot.

The grounds are beautiful with a few picnic tables you can sit and enjoy the views of the orchard and the giant oak tree. What a beauty. I'm so happy I found this place. Now I'm thinking it might be a seasonal farm stand when apples are in season but I'm not sure. There was no one there to ask. But I will stop by again on my next trip here to check it out.
