I had an amazing full day experience here. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, and their Selection of birds was awesome. I got to hold a wide selection of birds from small owls to a white tailed eagle. The fact there were 3 of us flying on the same day was good because we each got lots of handling time but we also got to give our arms a break. The two displays we saw between our handling were great too and gave us opportunity to see more birds. A really fantastic day!
A fantastic experience for my two teenage boys and myself as a spectator taking pictures etc. Took them for the full day experience for my youngest sons 16th birthday treat. The staff make it such a fantastic experience. Really friendly, knowledgeable and hard working. Made to feel very welcome and we just had a great day. The birds are awesome. So many different experiences in one day with loads of different birds.Can’t recommend it enough. Such a great experience and a wonderful memory and a great way to appreciate nature and the efforts of those people who help to preserve and look after such wonderful creatures.
Lovely setting and a large selection of birds on display. It also comes across that the people running this bird centre are passionate about the birds. Well priced for families as well I feel and you can take your own food as well as them having a limited supply of sandwiches, sweets and hot drinks. Recommended if your into the birds!
We weren't sure what to expect, apart from seeing some beautiful birds, but the shows were incredible! The keepers were so passionate and knowledgeable about the birds and the shows were breathtaking. I cannot recommend this place and show highly enough. Thank you for a fabulous day out.
Had an excellent time here. Though fairly small, it punched well above it's weight. The birds all seed to be happy, and they worked very well with their handlers. Owls, Eagles, hawks, and even vultures!!! The shop has various souvenirs, and some light snacks for lunch. You won't be disappointed with a trip here
