audubon center for birds of prey印象

We made a $100 donation to get a private tour for 8 that provided much more information and insight than we would have received with standard admission and felt that our donation went to a very good cause. We would definitely go back and donate again.

nice pleasant not too big easy to get around people working there are great friendly--- diappointed the birds not praying much seem to be lookiing for creatures to prey on! not too big fo for a short visit and learning good . took grandaughter for ist time and was just big enough to see them and keep a 9 year old interested. but they have birds but could have a few more . I suppose if you go to the special events for eagles etc it would enhance the visit. would go back and ehy can use some donations.

The center gives you the opportunity view up close and personal Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Kites, Owls and Falcons; some of nature's top predators. The visit was extremely educational and interesting. Take 15 minutes and see the video they present explaining exactly what the veterinary technicians do on a daily basis. GREAT photo opportunities. A must see for adults and children. During my visit a 2 year old in a stroller was having the time of his life (as was I). The staff is extremely friendly and provides information and answers your questions. I went for the photography but I left with lots of pictures and a wealth of knowledge concerning these magnificent creatures, Plan to spend at least 90 minutes to take advantage of all that is offered. There is a $5 donation fee which is well worth while. You can even participate further and adopt a bird.

We only spent about 45 min there but loved it! It was great for my husband to practice his photography with the birds! It started a great conversation with our son about rehabitation vs letting nature take it's course without human interaction. Sweet place! Mosquitos were bad so wear spray!

My husband and I visited Audubon Center yesterday. Although it's s small location, there's plenty of birds to learn about. Unfortunately, they are all injured and cannot be returned to the wild. There a video to watch about how they care for the birds. The staff walks around and answers all your questions. They're very knowledegable. Overall, is a great place to spend s could of hours at.

We had great expectations for this attraction, however after paying $5.00 each we were disappointed with the exhibits. Not too many birds on display and the few that normally are visible close up were not put out because they were "short staffed" on Sunday when we visited. The only person we saw there knew very little about the birds or for that matter birds in general. I guess the person who did that part was on lunch break at 11:30... May want to call and see what they have on display before driving there. they are a Rehab center so they bring in injured birds then release them. they have a few regulars but even those were not on display.

When we babysit our 4 little grandkids for a weekend or longer we are always looking for some new adventure to take them on. We have lived in Orlando most of our lives and, of course, had read in the newspaper from time to time about various injured birds being taken to this Audubon-run facility in nearby Maitland for rehabilitation. But we had never visited. So we took the kids recently, and they seemed as curious and fascinated as we were to see eagles, owls and dozens of other kinds of wounded birds -- some just babies -- up close and personal. When living in Orlando with its world-class attractions it's a special joy to also have access to the real wonders of nature this close by and this close up....and at the unheard of admission price of only $5 for adults and $4 for kids. A kid-friendly self-tour booklet is given to guests for use during their visit. It tells the bird's name, species and something of the nature of the injury. Most of this facility is outdoors, following shady nature trails and winding paths that pass spacious aviaries. Aside from getting so close to these large birds, one of the more interesting outdoor highights is a ground-level view of just how massive a thing an eagles nest really is. Inside a small building there are additional opportunities to view birds through binoculars; and to learn from exhibits like one showing the comparative size of the eggs of different birds of prey. If there's anyone in your party who is more than casuallly interested in nature photography (as I am) there are some good photo ops along the route, especially with the birds that are allowed outside the shade of the aviaries. With a versatile zoom lens, you can bring home some nice images of some beautiful creatures seldom observed this wonderfully close.

We thought we would check out this place and see the wildlife that was rehabbing. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the birds and talking to the volunteers. They were so friendly and really enjoyed seeing a few birds up close via the volunteer. Thank you for all you do to preserve our wildlife!

This was a wonderful experience for my family. Heads up...we arrived at 10am and I had to call the number on the sign for them to open the gate....No biggie, though! We had a great time viewing all of the resident feathered friends. You could really see them up close and read about them in the guide book provided. If I lived in the area, I would return often. It was 14 dollars donation for two adults and a child.
