MEET THE ANIMALS

Meet the Animals

Given every half hour, our guided tours are both informative and interactive. A knowledgeable guide will first introduce the adult emus and ostriches. You will learn about the ostrich’s amazing speed as well as other defense mechanisms it uses against predators. Mating, rearing, and feeding habits will both surprise and amuse you. You will even have the opportunity to hand-feed the not-so-shy creatures. Just watch out! Ostriches are ALWAYS hungry, and if you have food in your hands, you may quickly find yourself surrounded by a herd of curious critters.

Our guides are well-equipped to answer your questions about ostriches and emus throughout the tour. We hope you take the opportunity to learn more about these fascinating creatures.

Tours fees: $14 per adult, $7 per child
Tour Schedule: Every half hour from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM every day of the week.

We ended up getting basically our own personal tour. The guy was funny and told us a lot of fun facts about ostriches and emus. Feeding them is definitely a great photo opp. One of them almost snapped off the sunglasses on my head! Such a unique experience. You get to see ostriches at Phillips Animal Garden in Aruba but no one there to tell you more about them.



We had a day of exploring ahead of us so we also got lunch there. I was a bit nervous about their menu because nothing screamed "favorite" to me. I got the rib stew and it was AMAZING. Tasted so homemade and with the potatoes and sauce it was hard to compare to anything else we had in Aruba. Definitely recommend! Service was great - the people there are super nice. Eating area is big, outdoors, and shady/breezy. read less

The tour started literally with a peacock greeting us right in the path with its plumage on full display and making its call.  We then got to see emus and ostriches close up, and we got to feed them directly from our hands.  We got to hold both emu and ostrich eggs.  There are also other kinds of geese and chickens at the farm.  Overall a unique experience that most people do not get to have every day!  There is also a small restaurant on site. read less

But we went out on a limb and do not regret it!!! The price was a bit expensive, but everything seems to be in Aruba. It was a nice way for the kids to spend the morning, and try some unique food (we got the ostrich omlette) on our way to the ruins and natural pool. We fed them, learned a lot, and it was a great experience! read less
