PD Ostrich Show Farm Ticket

The star of this Port Dickson farm is the ostrich encounter: you can get close, offer food, and, when a race is running, watch or take part in a dash with Kuntum, a male ostrich. There are also smaller animals, children’s rides, and a dinosaur area, so this is more than a quick stop at an ostrich pen.

I like the chance to feed several kinds of animals, and I like that a visit can fill a relaxed hour or two without costing much at the basic entry price. The trade-off is that this is a simple, sometimes worn farm, not a polished zoo, and hot weather, smells, or uneven facility conditions may affect your visit.

A few things to know before you go

• Kuntum may be the main event: Ostrich races are a special draw, and a race may come with a certificate, but do not count on a scheduled race every time.
• Bring small children, not high expectations: Rabbits, goats, birds, horses, and other animals give kids plenty to look at and feed.
• Budget for add-ons: Entry starts at US$3.69, but animal feed and some rides cost extra unless your chosen bundle includes them.
• Set aside one to two hours: A family can stroll, feed animals, and see the dinosaur area without turning this into a full-day outing.
• Expect a basic farm setting: Some parts may feel worn, and visitors have noted heat, mosquitoes, animal odors, and concerns about animal conditions.
• Check the package details: Several family bundles are offered, but the basic ticket covers admission to PD Ostrich Farm only.

Getting close to ostriches at Port Dickson

The farm’s appeal is hands-on contact. Instead of simply looking at ostriches from a distance, you can buy food on site and feed them. Some animals can be fed and others cannot, so follow staff instructions, especially around the larger birds.

Ostriches are big, quick, and much less like ordinary barnyard birds than their name might suggest. Feeding them makes a visit more memorable for children, while adults may enjoy watching how they move and compete for food. Staff can help with animal interactions and, when needed, take photos or video.

The farm advertises the chance to hug and race ostriches. Treat those as possible highlights, not guaranteed parts of the day. The race has been associated with Kuntum, a male ostrich, and some visitors have received a certificate afterward. But race availability has varied, so ask at the entrance whether it is running that day before building your plans around it.

The animals are not all in open enclosures. One account describes most ostriches being kept in cages, with one named Puteri outside. Conditions and animal access can change, and the farm has drawn mixed comments about upkeep and animal welfare. If you are particular about animal encounters, take a look around before buying extra feed or rides.

A small farm with more than ostriches

The other animals help make this a family stop rather than a single-attraction visit. Depending on what is on view, you may see rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, quails, goats, cows, horses, donkeys, birds, and larger lizards. The mix can feel like a compact petting farm, though the range of animals and activities is not as extensive as at a large zoo.

You can purchase feed at the farm, including a reported RM10 set, but the price and contents may change. Feeding can be the best part for younger children, who often enjoy having a simple task and seeing an animal respond. Keep in mind that feeding is not allowed for every animal, and the staff’s guidance matters.

There are also hands-on or photo-friendly touches, such as standing on top of an ostrich egg and taking a photo with a snake. These are not the core reason to visit, but they add variety. Some areas may have traditional Malaysian games, including congkak and carrom, and a colorful Mystery Forest area has been described as a place for photos.

The farm’s size is part of the bargain and part of the limitation. You can cover it at an easy pace, but if your children expect a large zoo with a full day of exhibits, they may run out of new things to do. I would treat it as a short, informal outing, not a substitute for a major wildlife park.

Rides, archery, and the dinosaur stop

For children, the farm lists a small train, kiddie rides, horse rides, horse-carriage rides, ATV rides, and archery. These activities can add a welcome change of pace after walking around the animal enclosures. Some rides, including pony or train rides, have been reported as optional paid extras, so check the cost before you start.

The attraction also promotes Planet Jurassic, with animatronic dinosaurs. It is a modest themed area rather than a large dinosaur park, and it may suit children who like life-size figures and photo stops. Ticket options have included a farm-and-Planet-Jurassic combination, while the basic entrance option is described as admission to the farm. Confirm what your selected ticket covers before you pay.

The variety sounds broad on paper, but the overall scale is small. If you plan carefully, you can let children choose a ride or two and still fit the animal area into a one-to-two-hour visit. If the races or some activities are not operating, the outing may feel shorter.

Food breaks and the family bundles

The farm serves ostrich dishes such as satay, burgers, and steaks, along with farm-made cendol. That gives you a chance to try ostrich meat without turning lunch into a separate trip. The food has been a highlight for some families, though tastes vary, and a café may not always be open when you visit.

The entry ticket starts at US$3.69. That is a low starting cost for a family outing, but it is not necessarily the total you will spend: feed, rides, and food can add up. The available packages include Pair Up from US$12.25 and family bundles titled Family Eats Together from US$28.90, Family Eats & Plays Together from US$36.25, and Family Shares from US$46.05.

Those titles suggest different food and activity combinations, but the exact inclusions are not provided here. Read the package details closely before booking, and check the physical ticket against what you selected at the counter. A package mix-up could turn a planned meal-and-activities deal into admission only.

For a family that intends to eat and take part in several activities, a bundle may simplify spending. For a quick look around, basic entry can be better value, with food and extras bought individually if you want them. You cannot bring outside food or drinks inside, so plan to buy refreshments on site.

How much time to allow, and what to expect on arrival

Most visits take about one to two hours. If you have toddlers or young children who want to stop at every enclosure, leave room for a slower pace. If your main aim is simply to see the ostriches, you may be done sooner, especially if no race is taking place.

The farm is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., with last admission at 6 p.m. Opening hours or closure dates can change, so check current details before setting out. Port Dickson is about an hour and 20 minutes by car from Kuala Lumpur, making this a possible stop on a wider trip rather than an easy city-center detour.

The venue information gives Lot 1419, Jalan Kemang 13, Batu 9, Jalan Pantai Teluk Kemang, Port Dickson. A separate meeting-point address is listed as Jalan Perdana 4, Taman Intan Perdana. Because two addresses appear in the details, use the map and confirm the correct entrance before driving.

There is ample free parking, a café, and a surau on site. The farm is partly stroller and wheelchair friendly, but that does not mean every path or activity will be easy to access. There is no luggage storage, so arrive without bags you need to leave behind.

To redeem, present your mobile voucher and exchange it for a physical ticket. The voucher is valid only for the date selected. Booking is listed as non-refundable, so choose your date with care.

A realistic view of the farm’s condition

This is a working-style family attraction with a casual, sometimes rough-around-the-edges feel. Some people find the grounds clean and enjoyable; others have found sections worn, facilities dated, or the animal areas messy. That difference matters: go for interaction and a relaxed outing, not for immaculate landscaping or modern zoo facilities.

Heat is another practical factor. The farm is outdoors, and visitors have noted hot conditions and mosquitoes. Wear comfortable shoes, bring sun protection, and consider insect repellent. Animal odors are possible, particularly in warm weather, and may be more noticeable near certain enclosures.

There have also been concerns about the condition of some animals and the use of horses for rides or carriage activities. I would take time to observe the enclosures and make your own call about which interactions feel right for your family. You can still enjoy the ostrich encounter without taking part in every activity.

Who will enjoy the visit most?

This is best suited to families with young children who enjoy feeding animals and moving between simple activities. Toddlers and primary-school-age children may find the close encounters more engaging than older kids looking for a full day of rides or elaborate exhibits. Children aged 13 and older are charged the adult rate, while children aged zero to two can enter free.

Adults can make the visit more interesting by trying ostrich satay or a burger, watching for a race, or simply enjoying a quiet stop between Port Dickson’s beaches and resorts. The farm is close to local hotels, and it can fit into a short family itinerary. It is less suited to anyone expecting a large, highly maintained zoo or a guaranteed ostrich race.

The price is easiest to justify when you treat the basic ticket as a modest entry fee and decide on extras once you see what is operating. If you want a meal and several activities, compare the bundle inclusions against buying items separately. For a family with a couple of hours to spare, that flexibility can keep the visit both affordable and enjoyable.

Should you book the PD Ostrich Show Farm?

Book it if your family likes animals, you are staying in Port Dickson, and a simple outing sounds right. The close-up feeding, possible ostrich race, and range of smaller animals give children plenty to talk about afterward, while the low basic ticket price keeps the first step inexpensive.

Skip it if you need polished facilities, guaranteed activities, or a full day of entertainment. Check the selected package carefully, confirm the race is running if that is your main reason for going, and arrive ready for heat and a basic farm setting. With those expectations, this can be a pleasant, low-key break from the beach.
