The passion that the operators of Radical Raptors displayed couldn't fail to impress any visitor. This is a rescue center for birds of prey with a demonstration by birds (owls, hawks etc) that were previously pets and couldn't survive in the wild or else have been injured and again couldn't survive in the wild. You don't get to see the... More

All the birds have been saved and cannot survive by themselves in the wild. Very informative. A must for bird lovers. Displays at 1, 3 and 5 when there but worth checking.

We visited during Spring and had an awesome experience with Dennis the owner, and the center's birds of prey. It was an awesome experience to learn about these creatures and get to understand a little better what their part in life is and how we are best to share it with them. They are amazing creatures and deserve our respect.... More

This is a great great experience! For families with kids the entrance fee is priced right and the value for money excellent. Dennis is sooooo knowledgeable and the birds are well looked after and healthy. The flying display is an absolute must and provides fantastic photo opportunities. A definate must do!

What an experience and what a treat! After viewing the various birds on their perch it was an absolute delight to see them “work”! Dennis and his team are so dedicated in the rehabilitation of injured or captive raptors. To have a peregrine falcon or an owl landing on our gloved hands was just fantastic. I had never seen Spotted... More
