Curacao Ostrich Farm
Weg Naar Groot Street, Willemstad
Set amid Curacao’s dramatic desert landscape, Curacao Ostrich Farm is not only home to the world’s largest birds, but a place to see emus, crocodiles, and pot-bellied pigs. Over 400 ostriches of all ages live at the farm, and the adorable babies are incredibly photogenic. Don’t forget to make time for the souvenir shop to grab gifts for any ostrich-loving friends back home.

How to get there
Just outside Willemstad, the farm is a 20-minute drive from downtown via the Seru Loraweg road. Car rentals are easy to find in Curacao, and provide an excellent option for visitors who want to set their own schedule. Unfortunately, buses don’t run directly to the farm, and taxis outside Willemstad tend to be expensive.
When to get there
Curacao has a warm, tropical climate, and stays comfortable all year round. The dry season runs from February to May, which also tends to be the busiest season. For those who don’t mind rain, the October to December season will be quieter and more affordable. For the farm, check the website to find the best time slot for your tour.
