Ask me anything about Ostrich Farm.
The Curaçao Ostrich Farm is one of the island's most unique family attractions, offering visitors the chance to see and interact with some of the largest birds in the world. Located in the desert landscape near Santa Catharina on Curaçao's northern side, the farm features guided safari-style tours where visitors can learn about ostriches, feed them, and discover fascinating facts about their behavior, speed, and survival instincts. The tours take visitors through the ostrich enclosures in an open vehicle, providing close-up encounters with ostriches of all ages, from chicks to full-grown adults that can reach up to 2.8 meters in height and run at speeds of 70 km/h. The experience also includes a restaurant serving local and international dishes (including ostrich meat specialties), a souvenir shop, and beautiful natural scenery that feels very different from Curaçao's beaches and resorts. The farm is a great destination for families with children, offering an educational and entertaining experience that combines wildlife, nature, and local cuisine. Tours should be booked in advance, especially during high season. The best time to visit is in the morning when the weather is cooler and the ostriches are more active. The Curaçao Ostrich Farm can be combined with nearby attractions in the Santa Catharina area, including the Aloe Vera Farm and Landhuis Dokterstuin, for a full day of inland exploration.
