[2025 Pantai Timur Attraction] Travel Guide for Desaru Ostrich Farm (Updated Jul)

My family and I were in Desaru holidaying and we thought why not bring the kids to hang out with ostriches at Desaru Ostrich farm. The farm was a little out of the way and yes I got to admit it was old and run down. However, it was an educational guided tour with explanations on the ostriches there. The kids also had fun feeding the ostriches and other animals on the farm such as goats and chickens. We were also surprised when an ostrich egg was brought out and we were shown how tough it was. The egg was so heavy and hardy that it can take our human weight and it needed a drill to break open it. The bird feeds and entrance fees were not expensive and ultimately the kids had fun interacting with the animals there. The area is small so you can cover the farm in less than an hour. A word of caution, do not wear anything shiny or have too many accessories on you, as the ostriches are attracted to them and may peck on you. Some ostriches are free to roam around the farm so do not panic when they are near you. They are actually rather tame. It's a unique experience for us and your kids will equally enjoy their time there. #wecreate

Have you wondered why ostrich bottoms are Botak? saw with my own eyes. The ostriches peaked each other bottoms every so often. I would highly recommend this ostrich farm as its one of the biggest one I’ve seen. It is well kept and the birds are well taken care of. This place is suitable for all ages. The entrance fee for adults is 20 Rm and kids 15 Rm. you will first listen to a guru taking about this being the biggest ostrich farm in Asian and the ostriches are brought in from Africa. we learned that each ostrich egg can tolerate 100Kg. If u are heavier than that, avoid standing to save a newborn ostrich life. The whole visit will take 30-45 minutes.

Address: Jalan Telok Ramunia, Kampung Changi, 81600 Pengerang, Johor, Malaysia Highlights: The farm is located behind houses, in case you are surprised by the location. Quite spacious with several containment areas where the ostriches are kept. From the eggs, babies and grown-ups. The entrance fee is reasonable and food for feeding the animals only cost RM2 per bundle. There were free-roaming ostriches and they had their own names. I particularly like Lulu and Lily. I enjoyed feeding them, the calmest ostriches I have ever met. You also get to stand on the real ostrich eggs, they won't break! Other animals like chickens, rabbits, guinea fowls and horses are available too. Good for both kids and adults. The farm was clean and well maintained. Staffs were friendly and informative too. Highly recommended. Rating: 5/5 #mustdo #desaru #johor #ostrich

#tesaruonbudget Desaru Ostrich Farm was a fun and educational stop that truly surprised me. With over 200 ostriches roaming the grounds, I got up close to these giant birds, fed them, and even touched their massive eggs. The staff were friendly and shared lots of interesting facts about ostrich behavior and care. Kids especially loved the chance to interact with the animals, and the brave ones even tried a short ostrich ride. Don’t miss the on-site café serving ostrich-based dishes! It’s a quirky, family-friendly experience that adds a unique twist to any Desaru itinerary.

#earthdayjourney #ostrich #travel Not only did I get to meet these fascinating, towering birds up close, but I also learned about how the farm is making strides to promote sustainability and respect for the planet. From the moment I stepped onto the farm, I was greeted by the curious eyes of the ostriches. The farm provides a safe and natural environment for these magnificent birds, which are often misunderstood in the wild. As I toured the area, I learned that ostrich farming can actually be quite eco-friendly. These birds require far fewer resources compared to traditional livestock like cows or pigs. They’re efficient eaters, needing less food and water, and they produce fewer greenhouse gases. This makes them a more sustainable option for both farming and the environment. The farm also emphasizes sustainable farming practices, such as using natural fertilizers, recycling farm waste, and reducing plastic usage in their operations. It was a perfect example of how agriculture can adapt to become more in tune with Earth’s needs. On top of that, the farm has educational programs that teach visitors about conservation efforts and the importance of protecting local ecosystems.

from the owner, we know that it's not easy to take care and maintain the farm. support

get to see ostriches during your Desaru stay, with a guide that speaks multilingual, you'll be sure to understand more about these majestic birds! with a cheap admission ticket, it's well worth the trip to witness these majestic animals! very friendly owners and guides too! if you're with kids, you are even able to get your kid to ride/sit on the ostrich! worth it!

Here, those under 50kg can ride ostriches. When we got there, there were only a lot of Singaporeans. Maybe we weren't hyped about this place. My husband found a post on FB about this place. So far it's interesting for the kids, he can feed the ostrich himself. The ticket price is reasonable. He also has a place to eat ostrich meat. But we didn't eat it. Because the Chinese owner is not Muslim. We're not sure if the ostrich was slaughtered halal or not and the utensils used are the same as those used to cook haram meat or not. But for those who are not Muslim, you can eat it. It looks delicious. hihi 🫶🏻

Very enjoyable and educational trip to the ostrich farm! 10mins away from Lotus Seaview Pengerang or closer to Sg Rengit is this humble ostrich farm that is suitable for kids to pet and feed the well mannered ostriches and other farm animals . The restaurant next door also serves ostrich meat satay for those who want to get a taste of the exotic meat as well as ostrich egg omelettes.

Even a simple 3D2N trip to Desaru could bring smiles to everyone in the family. The weather was hot but we had loads of fun! My niece has been asking when we can go back to the Water Park and Ostrich Farm again. We miss the traveling. #tripaway #tripaway
