💬 What Visitors Say
- Plan for at least 2-3 hours and arrive prepared for high altitude (5,500 feet): bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and dress in layers as weather changes rapidly. The experience involves being outdoors with active birds, so proper hydration and sun protection are essential.
- Wear closed-toe shoes (no sandals or open-toed footwear allowed) and avoid bringing pets or additional observers. Confirm your 48-hour cancellation policy before booking to avoid losing your payment.
- Book during clear weather days when bird flying demonstrations are most likely to occur. The venue offers indoor vouchers if weather prevents outdoor flights, but outdoor conditions provide the best opportunity to see raptors' natural hunting behaviors in action.
- Expect small group sizes with individual attention from knowledgeable guides like Kathleen. This intimate setting allows you to have multiple raptors land on your arms and observe predatory behaviors up close—ask questions freely as guides are enthusiastic about sharing their expertise.
- This is a highly hands-on, interactive experience perfect for wildlife enthusiasts of all ages. Unlike typical museum visits, you'll have direct physical contact with live birds of prey and witness real hunting demonstrations, making it a unique educational experience worth the travel to eastern Reno.
