Our note
This one is only mentioned in an answer inside the questions panel, not on a page of its own, so staff may need reminding it exists. Ask what it costs and how many children they can take through in one visit.

What the children do

A shorter hands on option for children too young for the Hawk Walk and the Encounter, both of which start at age eight. The site says pre-booking is not required and to inquire with the gift shop. No price is published.

Put on a glove and hold one of the smaller birds with a staff member alongside.

Good to know

It runs at the centre alongside a normal admission, so the same free parking and picnic benches apply. Price, how long it takes and how many children can do it are all unpublished.

Lunch space
We do offer some light snacks in our gift shop, but the centre does not have any meal options. You are more than welcome to bring your own food to the centre and enjoy it at one of our picnic benches.

Parking is free of charge. During the summer months, the parking lot can get busy so we strongly recommend carpooling whenever possible.
