Insider tips

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes as the terrain can be dusty or uneven.

Check the restaurant's menu in advance if you have specific dietary restrictions regarding ostrich products.

Bring a hat and sunscreen as most viewing areas are outdoors with limited overhead cover.

What to avoid

Do not make loud noises or sudden movements near the nesting pens, as this causes unnecessary stress to the birds.

Good to know

Open daily throughout the year, but outdoor activities may be limited during heavy snowfall or extreme rain.

Etiquette
