June 21, 2022:
Our Visitor Centre is open! The temporary closure of our site has allowed our construction team and hospital staff to put protections in place to mitigate the spread of Avian Influenza. Our commitment to the safety and well-being of our resident ambassador birds (eagles, owls, and crows) and wildlife patients is our first priority. We will be monitoring and adapting our tours as the situation evolves so please stay tuned for updates.
**Because we’re limiting foot traffic near our patients and resident birds at this time, guests won’t be able to visit the eagle flight pen or ambassador birds, or meet an ambassador bird and handler. However, we’d love to greet you and show you our wild side! There’s a lot to see and experience at our Visitor Centre. **
Come for a visit Friday, Saturday, Sunday 10 to 3. If you wish a tour, please book your spot here.
