Owls are beautiful and charming animals. There are over 200 species of owl in the world and we’ll introduce your young owl enthusiast to some of these in this fun and interesting experience, and the children will even have the opportunity to fly some of them!
Run by two members of our friendly and inspiring team, the Children’s Owl Experience is a fun-packed session which includes:
This experience is for children aged 6 to 11 years.

Please head to Reception in the Hawk Conservancy Trust shop at the start of your session, where you will be directed to meet your host. An adult is required to accompany the child booked on the Children’s Owl Experience (admission for this person is included) but only the child booked on the experience can participate in the session.
These intimate experience sessions are limited to small groups of up to six children, with two members of our team guiding and informing you through your day. These three-hour experience sessions are available in the morning or afternoon:
Afternoon sessions are half an hour longer as they include a break to watch the 2pm flying display. If you are attending a morning session, you are most welcome to remain at the Trust and enjoy the rest of our daily activities. If you are attending an afternoon session you are welcome to arrive earlier and enjoy the daily morning activities. In either case, you may wish to visit Feathers Restaurant for some lunch or refreshments (not included). Feathers Restaurant is open daily from 9:30am for breakfast, until the park closes.
