The largest ostrich farm in Malaysia — 200-plus birds and a genuinely hands-on hour for kids. You can feed the ostriches, the little ones can take a (supervised) ostrich ride, and a keeper gives a short talk. It’s out near Pengerang, beyond the Coast gates, and pairs neatly with the fruit farm for an easy outside-the-resort morning.

Our independent tip
It’s a short stop — an hour or so — so stack it with the fruit farm the same morning (both are outside the gates and both are kid-pleasers). Bring small cash: the entry is cheap but the feeding and rides are paid per-go and add up.
