2 Feed Cusco, the Farma s Llama. A selfie with Arapina the Farma s Camel. Fun ways to learn more about Ostriches.
An Interactive Experience The core of our services is the ability of the guests to interact with the animals, not just observe them. Visitors can either pet, feed or get a selfie with the animals, depending on the species. That way, they can come really close to the animals and develop a bond with the nature and the animal kingdom. It is a unique lifetime experience for every single guest! 3 There are more than 20 different animal species that you can interact with, including ostriches, camel, llamas, donkeys, ponies, deers and wild boars. The guests see and play with the animals, literally within a breathing distance. They have fun, learn, laugh and take pictures for more than 45 minutes. An unforgettable experience only in Farma of Rhodes! Additionally, for their own convenience, guests get a leaflet at the entrance, including some instructions regarding how to better interact with the animals. Αt the same time, the Farma s host is ready to help them with their tour in the Farma. Ostrich Interaction Zone Apart from the general interactive style we have given to the whole Farma, we created an interaction zone especially with ostriches. Guests can enter the zone with the guidance of the staff supervisor and interact with ostriches. The guests can pet them, feed them and play with them from really really close. At the same time, they learn useful information about the life and the habits of the ostriches. Considered that these ostriches are familiar with the human presence, it is totally safe, even for small children!
