Our note
The birds stay on the glove unless flying has been arranged in advance, so say up front if you want the children to see one fly. Nothing is published about how far they travel or what it costs, so ask about both.

What the children do

Staff bring birds to a school, community group or event. Each presentation is a 30 minute talk with three different birds, with extra time for questions and discussion. Birds will not be flying at away locations without prior planning. No price is published; the page says to contact them for pricing and to book.

Meet three different birds one at a time as an educator holds each one and talks about it, then ask questions at the end.

Good to know

They come to you, so the washrooms, lunch space and indoor room are your own. Price, group size and how much notice they need are not published, so ask when you call.

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.

Wheelchair access
Our facility is wheelchair accessible, as long as your personal mobility aids are equipped to deal with outdoor surfaces. While some of our paths are paved, the majority are hard-packed earth or packed gravel.
Bus parking
Parking is free of charge. During the summer months, the parking lot can get busy so we strongly recommend carpooling whenever possible.
