My boyfriend was bought the experience for his bday so it was for one person. Although I went along and I got to join in on all the activities which we didn't expect at all. We got to hold various types of birds, from Hawks to owls to Bald eagles, they were beautiful! Our guide Karly was brilliant, knew everything about the birds and had a real passion for her job, she really made the experience special. I would have given 5 stars but they were slightly understaffed and couldn't provide food from the cafe or get to look round the gift shop. All in all a brill morning out, we thoroughly enjoyed it!
Went with an organised group. Very friendly staff. Lots of different birds with opportunities to handle several and then fly them. Very enjoyable evening.
Thank you Kyle and the team of Harris Hawks for a great day hunting. It was a great experience and feel very fortunate to have experienced hunting with these fantastic birds.
My daughter and I had a fantastic afternoon at the centre which began with a variety of owls that we all got to hold - beautiful birds, one looked just like a Furby. Then on to flying the harris hawks, the sea eagle and a grey eagle (can't remember it's proper name, but he's 22 and a real star). the flew a sea eagle which was stunning.Throughout, Ben and Jake/James(?) were keeping us entertained with various stories of bitten fingers (theirs) and answering questions.This was a Groupon trip for us, so also mega cheap - but would definitely go again, even at full price.
I got the half day bird handling experience our group guide was Ria and she was fantastic very passionate about the birds and informative. She made the day great and took her time after the experience was over to show us around some more and let us handle our favourite birds. Thanks to her we had a brilliant day so try to ask for her when you book.
Have been to many Raptor centres and this is the best yet. Many birds to look at. But I went for a half day eagle experience. Having a Bald Eagle land on your arm and take off again is indescribable. We also handled other birds as well including many owls, American Kestrel and adult and juvenile bald eagles and possibly my favourite a Chilean Blue Eagle. Staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. Great place to go
This was an experience day bought by my children, for me.The birds were great and the people showing them off obviously knew their stuff and were interesting to listen to. My day included archery and air rifle shooting which again was well organised and run by John & Carl.However, the voucher I printed off had the wrong address on it so had a hurried trip around Bedfordshire to find the centre and arrive for my time slot, not impressed, nor was I impressed with the set up at the centre. A long list of what they do, but no prices, staff that could be very abrupt to the point of being rude and not sufficient car parking spaces! Also a complete lack of information when I confirmed the booking meant I did it alone, I would have paid for my wife to accompany me.Ask a lot of questions when you book and confirm the address of the centre before you go, especially if you have an experience day.
Lovely evening able to handle a variety of Birds of Prey and watch a demonstration as well as food included in the price.
I visited for a half day activity experience involving air gun shooting, laser clays, knife throwing, archery and cross bows. Had a fantastic morning - great set up and really good fun for corporate groups or friends. The birds were amazing and their was an opportunity to handle some of them as well as watch flight and hunting demos. On site cafe and shop as well. Staff are well informed and very entertaining. Fantastic location - great for children too
Spent this morning there with my son. We did archery,shooting and got to hold and fly some birds of prey. The guys that run it are brilliant, they make the experience even better. Will definitely be going again
