    What you could expect, nice to see these animals up close, 20 minute tours given every 30 minutes.

    I have mixed feelings about this place. I have been to the one in Curacao, which I loved and was expecting the same. Thus this was a little disappointing. This is a walking tour around the grounds. It is led by an informative guide. Our group was small. Everything was said in 2 languages so we had to wait around while it was repeated in the second language. We got to hand feed the Ostrich which made great photos. The information was educational and all my 5 year olds questions were entertained. We got to hold the hollowed eggs. Though I was really hoping my little one couldhd a baby as I did in Curacao. Maybe it is not the right season. The price doesn't sound bad until you add up all your guest, $12 for adults $6 for children. So it cost 3 if us $30. The tour last about 45 minutes and the guide comes right out and asks for tips at the end. I was hoping to eat an ostrich steak at their restaurant though it was not on today's menu. The only ostrich they offered was an ostrich egg omelet. The restaurant was not really even a restaurant. It was picnic tables more like take out than a table service restaurant like the one in Curacao. So for someone that has never been this could be a wonderful experience. Though don't have high Hope's if you had a great experience some place else.

    Seemed pretty cool. We had friends that went and highly recommended it. Got there toward the end of the day and had to wait for the previous tour to finish before we could start. With the 5 yr old on tow we didn't have the wait in us. Enjoyed the ducks, lizards, ducklings and peacocks at the entrance.

    Emus and ostriches, a fun guide and later in the day, a restaurant that serves ostrich. They have a small African themed gift shop, but no shirt in my size! It was fun, worth the trip.

    Initially I thought it will be waste of time and only good for kids. I discovered a lot of new interesting things. You can ride on ostrich for 2.5 miles. They show how chicks opens pretty thick shell, and lot more.

    Thought it was cool at first, but then the tour guide decided to show us how the ostrich are dumb and can be aggressive. Pretty sure he was was the dumb aggressive one. He wrapped his hand around the beautiful birds neck and scared him until he flipped out and broke out of his pen. The reason I went was to see the animals, because I love them.

    Nice little farm. Restaurant in site. Gift shop is pretty good. 30 some ostriches and emu's are housed in the farm. Couple of peacocks also roam around. Entrance fee is 11 dollars each which is pretty steep.

    Interesting little farm. Good for kids to see Emu and Ostrich. The general feeling seems to be that it is a little overpriced for what's on offer.

    It could be a fun experience if it were not for the price. ($12 USD / person for 25 min of visit). It is not worth the cost.

    10/05/17 The ostrich farm was interesting, seeing these big flightless birds and their beautiful eyelashes (girls – eat your hearts out!). There were some emu as well. Our guide gave a rundown of the average ‘vital statistics’ of ostriches and also of their breeding habits. We were allowed to feed the ostriches from a bowl filled with pellets, a time for the farm photographer to take photos for the guests which they could purchase at the end of the tour. The ostrich farm on Aruba is for tourism purposes only. No feathers or ostrich eggs were sold. We got to see an incubator for the eggs – if the male ostrich rejects an egg, a member of staff will remove the egg and put it in the incubator in the hope of being able to salvage the egg and get it to hatch. We were also shown the differences between emu and ostrich eggs, an emu’s eggs being smaller and a beautiful blue colour compared to the cream coloured large shell of an ostrich. Guests took photographs of our farm guide as she showed the eggs. Her brilliant sense of humour got the better of her and she posed like a film or catwalk star, batting her eyelashes! It was very funny. She then asked for a volunteer guest to hold an ostrich egg next to a painted ostrich on the wall, bending over a bit and hold the egg near the painting’s rear-end - as if catching the egg - for guests to take photos. However, unbeknown to the guest our guide bent down behind the guest and held an emu egg just underneath his bum, between his legs at a respectful non-touching distance! The other guests howled with laughter. The chap on display soon realised why! Unfortunately I forgot to press the capture button on my camera. The visit was interesting but I felt sorry for the ostriches – their pens were small and I sensed they were stressed. I have been to ostrich farms in South Africa and the pens were a lot bigger - they are huge birds and need space to move.

    Fun experience if not a little expensive. My 3 year old really enjoyed feeding the ostriches and holding such a large egg.

    The farm looks deserted. When we visited farm where was no visitors. We found a few workers In the shop and they look surprised to see us. We paid for the tour, but have to wait until workers finish their conversation. They were laughing and joking and we were standing and waiting. The tour guide was virtually unhappy to go anywhere, but he told us about ostrich with mechanical voice. There used to be a restaurant, but 4 years ago it was destroyed by the fier.

    If you have nowhere to go on Aruba but usually it is just a 15 minutes walk with so-so guide and a photo with ostrich
