Water bottle
Sunscreen
Bug spray
Proper clothing for the weather (cold winters/hot summers)
Good, closed-toe shoes
Camera (we do NOT allow photography inside our buildings, but you will have plenty of chances outdoors)
If you show up with improper attire, this will severely limit your experience.
Do not wear any furs or faux furs (boots included).
Depending on what all you would like to learn, the experience is custom for each group. We're here to teach! If you want to learn about what it takes to become a falconer, what it takes to care for raptors, or even to help us prepare their meals, just let us know. This is all about you! We welcome anyone interested in the hunting sport, but also in wildlife biology or, just for fun! Learn what it takes to care for raptors and have the chance to watch them do some trained behaviors.
All parking is uncovered
About our animals
Please keep in mind, these birds are living, thinking beings. We never promise any special performances.
We do not fly birds if the wind speed is over 13 mph - the experience won't be fun for them or for you. We'll watch the weather closely!
We do not fly birds if it's less than 35 °F or over 100 °F outside
Pets are NOT allowed - not even if kept in your vehicle. The birds are familiar with our hunting dogs, not yours. Our hunting dogs are not dog-friendly.
Bookings and Cancellations
Your calendar appointment request is not confirmation of your booking - your booking will be confirmed in a separate email from one of our team members.
Once you receive the confirmation email and invoice, you have now captured that time slot so that nobody else can sign up. As a private experience, we now expect you to be on time and ready to go.
Payments must be made in advance to hold your spot. We do not allow you to pay day-of.
If you cancel any time 3 days (72 hours) prior to your scheduled experience start time, you will receive a refund minus a booking fee of 10%.
If you cancel within 3 days (72 hours) prior to your scheduled experience start time, you will not receive any refund.
If your experience is cancelled by us at any time due to weather at our location, physical conditions at our location, or for any unforeseen circumstances with our animals or handlers, we will work with you to reschedule your experience. If we are unable to reschedule, we will offer a full refund.
