This what people are saying o Trip Advisor
We visited Falconry UK on 8th April 2012 with Groupon vouchers, although I'd have been more than happy to pay the full price.
We visited with our 5 year old daughter. She loved saying hello to the birds, and got to hold a couple of the smaller owls, as did we much to our pleasure. They have swings and a big sand pit, that our daughter dipped in and out of. We stayed for 2 demonstrations and each one lasted about 45 minutes, with different birds used on each one. Its a great opportunity to get close to the birds, take pictures and learn about them. All the staff were very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. We would definitely go back.
Booked this through Groupon but would have been happy to part with entrance fee. Kids 8 and 11 both fascinated by the variety of birds. Seem to be very well cared for. Handlers very well informed and were happy to answer kids probing questions. We stayed for 2 flying displays and spent good few hours there.
There were picnic tables outside if you take pack-up or ice-creams and snacks available. Very reasonably priced gift shop for final treat.
Appears to be a family run small business with peope dedicated to the conservation of a very impressive collection of interesting birds - perfect for a school holiday day out.
Area grassy with paths but appeared quite flat so would probably be ok for wheelchair/walking difficulty. Wooden benches to sit on whilst watching displays. Kids play area for small ones. Info sheets about the different birds.
