A very interesting and well organized show of different birds of pray in a beautiful location. They exhibit the birds, showing their flight abilities and all is happening few meters or less from your eyes. It's a pitty that the show is only in French, but don't skip it for this reason.
Here there is a wide collection of birds of prey: eagles, vultures, owls and a condor. Not only are they perched for close-up photos, but many of them take part in a flying display swooping low over the audience sitting in a circle. Lazy UK visitors expect to park close to the entrance to an attraction; here the approach is along a wooden forest path.
It you plan to visit Haut Koenigsbourg drive less than 10 km to the eagles show at Kintzheim. The show is very impressing with many types of carnivorous birds – eagles, vultures, owls, falcons and more. The show is done in the court of a castle in the middle of the forest and with full participation of the audience. Don't miss it! The show is in French only but written information was given in English.
We visited the place on a sunny day at noon and were very impressed by the huge birds flying so close to your head, as well as the owls and some other birds we've never seen before in live.The place located up the hill in a beautifull Chateau (castle in a forest).I didn't rate this place at the maximum rate only because the show is in French, but it's nevertheless very impressing.Don't miss this place - it's a must if you are visiting Alsace or even at Europa Park.The prices are 9.5 Euro for adult, 6 Euro for kids (5-14).in the summer (14.7-20.8) they have 5 shows (11:30, 12:45, 14:00, 15:30, 17:00).A tip for the owners of this place - combine live english explanations in the show. the english brochure you are giving at the entrance, which should explains what we gonna see in the show, is not effective.
By birds of prey that I have seen, well worth the admission. It does help if you understand a bit of French, but if you put your hand up when others do, you may get to have a bird of prey land on a glove on your hand. If you are wearing a hat an owl may land on your head! Whatever else you will certainly have several close encounters with some wonderful birds of prey flying close by. My only warning is that the car park is a fairly long walk along an uneven forest path from the castle, so anyone with any infirmities will struggle.
We visited the place after a stay in the Europa-Parc (1 hour drive) and were very impressed by the birds of pray and also the beautiful location (castle in a forest). It's a pity that the show is only in French, but it's nevertheless very impressing to have an eagle flying some centimeters over your head!
We really enjoyed watching this spectacular event that gave us a chance to admire birds of prey in flight-eagles, vultures, falcons, owls. The show opens with black kites that catch pieces of meat thrown into the air by the handlers. The highlight was having the Andean Condor vulture stroll over the legs of all the audience members. Only wish there was a show in English as we would have enjoyed hearing the commentary. Entry fee is 9.5 Euros.
take your kids to see a nobel bird that surfes the sky in an ellegant way. We can learn about aigles lives and appreciate them better.
The show lasts around 45 minutes and at least 20 different birds are flown. I bet you have never even seen a secretary bird, nor seen a demonstration of how it catches its prey! The commentary is only in French but this doesn't really detract from the enjoyment of seeing these majestic birds in flight. Loads of opportunities for children to experience having a bird fly to or from their hand, creating incredible memories.
Very nice. But no more than 6 ur per adult The place is nice but nothing more extra,they fead the eigal whith dead birdes-if you on your way it's fine
