What to do: Children's Activities

Children's Owl Experience

Since the launch of the Harry Potter books, owls have become one of the most popular and well loved of all the Bird of Prey species, and this course allows children the opportunity to get close to and fly some of these beautiful creatures.

This course allows children the chance to get close to and fly different species of owls from around the world. There is also the opportunity to improve their owl identification techniques by sight and sound, and learn about owls eating habits from dissecting an owl pellet. Limited to children aged 6-11 years old.

The cost of the child’s owl experience covers the session and ticket price of one accompanying adult. £55.00 - more details

Junior Falconers' Experience

Accompanied by one of the Trust’s falconers (and an assistant): look after a bird section at the park; learn about the day to day care of Birds of Prey. Look at the training of young birds, and how they progress into display birds, and assist in a bird's training programme. Try your hand at swinging a falcon lure, and using a radio transmitter to track lost birds. Fly a bird of prey in our flying arena, and practise your skills as a commentator in front of an audience of your fellow experience guests. Meet one of the Trust's Barn Owls at close quarters, and fly this beautiful creature to the fist. Improve your bird identification skills by sight and sound, and have a go at our fun quiz.
