wingspan national bird of prey centre印象

A friend of ours told us to visit wingspan and we are pleased they did. Took my two sons aged 11 and 7 and we all really enjoyed it. It's runs by a charitable trust so it's a fairly casual set up. But the display of falconry and the boys being able to actually hold a falcon was pretty amazing. Highly recommended.

What an awesome job these dedicated people are doing. Loved loved loved this place. So incredible to get up close and personal to these magnificent animals. And chat to passionate people about what they are doing.

I am a fan of Hawks and Falcons anyway, but this attraction was so awesome that even now, nearly 11 months later I still rave about it, the staff were so friendly and knowledgable and the birds of course are so well treated and looked after that it was a pleasure to see. the fact that the birds are generally rescue cases make it a bit more special, and the photos I was able to get are treasured!

Fun little visit. Can combine this with Wai-o-tau in a day easily. The show starts at 2pm. There is a few. Bring a zoom camera and get some beautiful pics of these amazing birds. Enjoy the show!

A little place with a good sized aviary showing a range of NZ predators, a nice little museum and the bird show was educational but full of action as the rangers and falcons showed their falconry and hunting skills respectively.
-
Really enjoyable, and very informative. The show was really well presented, and I learnt a lot about New Zealand's native falcons.

I loved this place. I recommend if you go to make sure it's around the time in the afternoon when the Falcons come out to fly, they are just beautiful. They let us come back in the afternoon as we had gone in the morning not realising the flying time. Very friendly staff

A great place to take your kiwi and overseas visitors. Learn so much about our birds of prey. I have been twice and will go again. See the falcons up close as well as the great work the trust is doing to help other species like owls etc. Make sure you go in the afternoon. We arrived at 1pm and looked through their little museum and the aviaries and then it was show time! The Falconers bring out one bird at a time for their feeding and flight time at around 2pm - so worth seeing.

The hour-long show featured two falcons, both of which put on an impressive aerial performance. The talks by their handlers were extremely informative, and their passion for their subject was evident. 2.00pm daily is the flying time, and undoubtedly the time to visit.

Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in animals, or want to take the kids somewhere different from the other high adrenaline (not to mention cost) activities in Rotorua.Plan to arrive around 1:15 so you can check out the small aviary and museum, and then find a good seat for the show at 2pm (show lasts around 60 mins). The falcons in the show are pretty cool - and the falconers are really interesting and have great knowledge and presentation skills (thanks Debbie and Andrew). I think I learnt a lot - didn't even know we had native falcons, and that they're even more endangered than the kiwi.You can get some pretty close up photos of the birds in the aviaries, as some of them come right up to the wire mesh window - you wouldn't be able to get that close in the wild and they are pretty cool to look at (and a little bit scary!).If you are lucky you might get to have one of the birds sit on your hand during the show - that's pretty neat.If you are a party of at least 2 adults, I'd recommend signing up for the Family membership - gives you free visits for a year and helps support a charitable trust, and it's only $20 more than than the cost of 2 adults.Great way to spend a couple of hours, thoroughly recommend.
