What Our Visitors Have To Say
"The location was easy to get to and a lovely place just to walk around. The birds were beautiful and we liked that the signage discussed their individual personalities, not just the traditional information. We paid extra for the Emu Encounter which was really interesting."
"Very neat place with many raptors to enjoy! It is a free experience, but they do ask for a donation for each car when you pull in, which is perfectly acceptable. The trail to walk and see the birds is wide to provide plenty of space. Almost every habitat has both an information card about the species as well as history and detail about the individual birds and how they got there. It was a great way to spend an hour on a beautiful morning."
