British Bird of Prey Centre at National Botanic Garden of Wales
British Bird of Prey Centre at National Botanic Garden of Wales
Details
A fun-packed, full day out, for all ages. We perform amazing shows every day, each starring different species of raptor. Watch golden eagles, red kites and peregrine falcons flying within inches of you, all with the amazing backdrop of the National Botanic Garden of Wales. You can even have a go at flying a bird yourself.
Our aim is to give everyone the opportunity to interact with, and learn about, the birds of prey that can be found here in the UK and in doing so inspire communities to ensure their longevity.
“No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced" - David Attenborough
