Reviews
"We had a fantastic afternoon. It was filled with lots of information and facts about the birds from the staff who absolutely adore each and every one of them (Laura was great, funny and informative) It is a small place but there is lots going on with regular demonstrations and talks, with time in-between to visit all of the fantastic birds. The last demonstration of the day was amazing, WOW! definitely worth a visit."
"An absolutely amazing experience. I'm surprised more people don't know about this place. The birds and animals are all in pristine condition. The staff are so passionate and knowledgeable. It's a great place for all ages. The evening owl experience is superb in the summer. When they fly all the birds of prey together during day visits it is so emotional, I've never seen anything like it. They promote conservation in an interesting and informative way. I'm not one for leaving reviews unless I feel strongly, so you really need to visit."
"We went last Saturday, with our two grand children, aged 9 +11. We all had an absolutely fantastic day. The handlers were so informative about all the birds, and the history, and present day plight of Vultures in the wild was described in a caring manner. If you do go, whatever you do, don't miss the 3pm flying display, it was awesome. The kids fed the goats, and really enjoyed the meerkat's too."
"Not a very big set up but a good selection of birds. Staff very well knowledgeable about the birds and attached to certain birds. Seeing most of the birds flying around freely was really nice but if you are there just about lunchtime you have a long wait to see them. There is a play area for children and a small cafe. You can go away and return if you want as long as you keep your tickets. Parking is free."
