Port Dickson Ostrich Show Farm



I visited the Port Dickson Ostrich Show Farm sometime back in 2004 but did not have a chance to ride the birds or eat the meat. I think I paid RM2 for the entrance fee. Be careful when you stick too close to them. They will peck you.... I will try to go back there again since it was fun !

One of two ostrich farms in Negeri Sembilan, the PD Ostrich Farm is a day-trip destination that's hard to beat. Bring the entire family to see the ostriches reared here, from 8-foot tall behemoths to cute and cuddly ostrich chicks. You can have a tour of the facility producing items made of ostrich leather, where you can see the specialist equipments and tools used to produce ostrich leather products such as handbags, ornamental ostrich eggshells, as well as the highly sought-after cosmetics derived from ostrich oil.

Don't miss the chance to savour delicious ostrich burgers, ostrich satay fresh off the barbeque, and dried ostrich meat here - you may not easily find ostrich meat anywhere else! There are plenty of fun filled activities at the show farm such as ostrich rides, horse rides, a rabbit petting area for kids. Take a peek into the show farm's private collection of rare and beautiful birds including peacocks, pheasants, ornamental chickens and parakeets. Then take a picture of your kids standing on real ostrich eggs without breaking them!

The PD Ostrich Show Farm is located about 1 1/2 hours away from Kuala Lumpur. Take the Seremban Highway and head towards Port Dickson. From there, take the coastal road (Jalan Pantai) until you reach the 9th Mile turnoff where you'll see signs leading you to the PD Ostrich Show Farm.
