Our annual raptor festival engages and inspires visitors, while celebrating magnificent hunters of the sky! This unique event is held throughout the grounds and offers unforgettable encounters! You will meet our resident raptors up close – including owls, hawks, falcons, and eagles. We’ll be introducing two American Kestrels, the most recent members to join our program: Saxon, a male, and Freyja, a female. Learn about each species including their lifestyle habits and habitats. Stations throughout the Center will provide interactive and educational experiences for you and your guests. Learn about conservation, how to nurture and support birds around your own home, and enjoy bird-themed crafts and activities. Sign up to have your picture taken with your favorite raptor! This special event supports our Raptor Program and the resident birds in our care. This event will take place indoors and outdoors, rain or shine. Adult: $18 per person | Youth (3-17): $15 per person | Children 2 & under are free – no ticket needed
