We recommend that visitors schedule at least 90 minutes to allow time for a tour of the interpretive center, a live bird demonstration, and a walk on the interpretive trail. Give yourself another 30 minutes for a tour of The Archives of Falconry. Serious birders sometimes spend a half-day or more here to observe our birds, ask questions, and take photographs.
Live bird presentations and tours of The Archives of Falconry occur every day. Check the daily schedule and please arrive 15 minutes before any bird presentation or tour begins. To schedule a guided group tour, complete the online form or call 208-362-8259. We also have several special events throughout the year, including the popular Outdoor Flight Demonstrations which take place on weekends in October.
Most of our interpretive exhibits are inside. The Condor Cliffs display, four bird chambers, and the interpretive trail are outside.
Yes, our facility is accessible to people who use wheelchairs. We will also do our best to accommodate and provide the best experience within our ability for anyone with another disability. If you have questions about how we may accommodate you, please feel free to contact us at 208-362-8687.
Wild raptors are often seen around our campus or along the interpretive trail. Southwest Idaho is home to one of the world’s densest populations of birds of prey. After visiting here, we recommend the 35-mile drive to the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey Natural Conservation Area. We offer maps and driving directions.
We have pre-packaged snacks and drinks for sale in the gift shop. Visitors are welcome to bring their own food and use our outdoor picnic tables. Food and beverages are not allowed inside the interpretive center or The Archives of Falconry.
For the health and safety of the breeding population of endangered birds of prey on our property, we do not accept wild birds of prey for rehabilitation. If you need assistance with an injured raptor, please contact one of the licensed rehabilitators below.
