I bought an owl experience for my girl friend christmas present. The staff were very friendly, knowledgable and interesting. We were first given a guided tour of all the owls, then shown how they train and fly the owls. We then watched the demonstration which was really good as the staff got the birds to land on the benches next... More

Me and my girlfriend visited here on a Saturday and had a fantastic time. It wasnt too busy so there was plenty of room in the arena. We arrived just before the first show so had time to walk around and see the birds on display before the talk. The talk was very informative and we got to see a... More

My daughter had a pre-booked Owl Experience at the Centre for her 13th birthday. 3 hours of handling, flying and feeding, with a bit of education thrown in - a real treat...... She had one of the best days ever and the team at the Centre could not have been more friendly or welcoming. Will definitely be going back for... More

Yesterday we had a great time at the Falconery centre near Thirsk. With 70 birds there are plenty to see, the Eagle area is particularly impressive. The flying display we saw was really quite something. Our normally wriggly boys (5&3) sat pretty much transfixed on the 4 birds which displayed - barn owl, caracarra, vulture and sea eagle. We were... More

With friendly staff and brilliant birds the falconry centre is great for all ages. There are 3 great displays throughout the day which let the bird fly in and around the arena. The staff are very knowledgeable about the birds and explain a lot of interesting information about them. At the end of the display there is a chance for... More
