What a great facility! Because you know, COVID certain areas are off limits. Otherwise, its a great educational opportunity.

A really sweet place to visit. The staff care about the animals. There is a blind little owl theyve been caring for for 27 years! Took us less than an hour to tour the property. A nice easy thing to do with kids or animal lovers. There was hardly anyone there and their covid precautions were on point.

My visit was very nice! I got to see my favorite bird the Red-Shoulder Hawk I havent been to the Audubon in years. I will return again for sure!

Very nice experience. They take good care of the birds. Great selection of different types.

This place is amazing!!! The staff was very friendly! We learned a lot about birds and wildlife. They do a beautiful work, helping injured birds! I was so glad to know that they provide the sanctuary for animals that aren’t able to go back to the wild!Overall experience was amazing, don’t forget to check out the beautiful lake towards the back ;) Enjoy your visit, youll leave feeling great!

THE hidden gem of central Florida!Great range of beautiful aviary. Closer than youll get at any zoo. And as a bonus youre supporting education about wildlife as well as conservation and rehabilitation of birds of prey.

Amazing variety of birds and a wealth of information on Floridas raptors, and how humans can support them and the natural environments in which they live!

Such a wonderful learning experience for bird lovers. Hearing the stories of each bird makes you appreciate these beautiful creatures even more! The staff and volunteers are super friendly and truly care about the process of fully rehabilitating the birds back to health. Its great for families and school groups too.

Best Fathers Day in quite some time. I loved being able to see and read about all the different birds of prey. I am glad there is a place like this to help people understand these awesome creatures and their role in the natural world around us. Everyone that has a chance should go and visit this facility. It is well worth more than the admission donation. If you are looking for a good cause to support this would be worthy.

Really nice place. Its on the smaller size, but its well priced and the people that work there help injured birds. The money is very well spent. They have a variety of birds on display and most of them are in the open on perches and can be seen. We would definitely come back and visit again.

We stopped by and were unsure if wed stay, considering it looked like a residential back yard (from the street). DO NOT LET THAT DETER YOU!The location was gorgeous. The folks here do a ton of work for injured wildlife, and provide sanctuary for those who cannot return to the wild.The staff are phenomenal, and we want to give a special shout-out to Beth and to David for volunteering to stay late to answer our questions- David is very knowledgeable and shared some fascinating perspectives from working with raptors.Our other shout out goes to the gentleman who welcomed us to the sanctuary (I believe his name is Moshe). The overall experience was a surprising highlight of our entire Florida trip. Because of our interactions with the birds and the staff, weve already sent a donation, and will be encouraging our network to do the same.Enjoy your visit- youll leave feeling great!

Really great place. They use their space well. You have a house with enclosures surrounding it that makes for a lovely walk. All the birds are beautiful. They have a few opportunities to enjoy getting to see the birds without being blocked by fencing which is super cool. The staff are helpful and super nice. They have a small vet tech outer building and a pretty big lake gazebo. The only thing that I was sad about is there looks like a large building where the birds get flight exercised and while you cant go in youre to be able to live stream it from a TV but the setup wasnt working. I definitely would have liked watching it if given the chance. The best part is the frequency and variety of birds staff will bring out to the front on a glove. We saw 3 birds up close this way. For any bird lover this is a must. Owls Hawks and Eagles!

It was an educational and exciting experience. The volunteers and staff are engaging and passionate! I am amazed at these facilities and appreciate all those who donate to support their worthy efforts!

Folks, this old world has hidden treasures everywhere. All you have to do is look! And sitting right in your backyard Orlando is this gem. You will experience beautiful birds you would not otherwise know exist because of their habitat. These folks care for and rehab raptors brought to them by caring citizens who find them injured out in the world. They provide a safe environment for them and, if and when the bird is healed, release them back into the wild. Some of these creatures though, are permanent residents due to their injuries. This is a great learning experience for children and adults alike. It will help you appreciate our world a little better. Visit them, you will not regret it.

What a great place to visit and learn about birds of prey. This rescue and rehab center has been around since the 1960s and does an excellent job. Admission is not much and the proceeds go to the well being of the birds. Some birds are rehabilitated and released and some others are permanent residents. Sometimes they get to go out on educational programs too,

This was a great place for an off-the-cuff day trip with my boyfriend. He and I had a lot of fun meeting the birds and exploring the center. It took about an hour to see everything, and was definitely worth the $10 (we used a Groupon).Also, the staff was so friendly and made the experience that much nicer!

These birds are absolutely beautiful! How fortunate we are to have a place to go see them this close up and know that they are well taken care. It is not a large place, nor do they have a lot of birds to see but what they do have, you can see are healthy and stunning. Worth the trip!

They are willing (and happy) to take my cast off material to use for rags! Better than having it go in the landfill. You have to know they are doing lots of good for natural Florida!

Awesome experience. Very informative.

Great family outing or afternoon date! Took anout an hour walking and reading each of the birds rescue stories. There is even a dock on the lake for picnics and pictures

Rescue center for birds of prey. Great to walk around for a couple of hours. Very scenic by the river.

Possibly one of the best sites in this part of Florida. Birds are really close and obviously well cared for. Great info on how much they do to rehabilitate these beautiful and necessary birds. Accessible by wheelchair, too! Beautiful setting, and helpful attendants.

The staffs here are very friendly! The prey are beautiful. If you want to closely see the prey, come around 3 PM, then at 4 PM you may see some of them very closely and learn the lesson from the knowledgeable interpreters.

This place was such an amazing experience. Its small and was a totally unexpected highlight of our Orlando vacation. The people there are so passionate about what they do, which is rescuing injured birds and trying to rehabilitate them back into the wild. They have a miniature screech owl that is just about the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen, his name is Stanford

Great place to relax, take in nature, and learn about cool birds!

Very informative and cool. The raptors are well taken care of and the grounds are nice. We also saw wildlife in the small lake off of the boardwalk. We saw otters, fish, and turtles.

Wow, what an awesome place!!. Never knew this place was so close and inexpensive. Great place to take the fam out for and fun and educational time. Staff was super helpful, Even took the time to explain how the center worked how they rely on donations etc. even took the time to explain how the center worked they rely on donations etc. even learned some new things about why birds carry the fish in the direction that they do . Definitely recommend going.

What a cool place! A great alternative to the theme parks. The people there were very friendly and willing to tell you about the bird. They had several out on their gloved hands, answering questions and letting you see the birds up close. The guide book was great. You could learn about the birds in general but also about each particular bird and its injuries. Free parking. Bathrooms and a great spot for a picnic, over looking the lake.

They brought out several large birds for us. We had a great time and learned a good bit too.

Helping so many birds and sharing with all the visitors. I go at least once during my stay, coming down from Michigan, each year.

I love this place! Lots to see and learn. Very memorable experience. Highly recommended. I love the different birds that they care for.

Met friends and their children there. We watched the birds saw a wild bald eagle with a huge fish. Fell in love with Tony the tinny owl. It was a great morning activity.

We love raptors! Great place to see them up close. The little video is extremely informative; the hospital work is a true labor of love.

We broght them (with sanctioned permission) a beautiful little American Kestrel that had flown into a window and incurred some spinal trauma. They nursed her back to health and she is doing great!

What a lovely place! Its a self-guided walk, using a provided handbook of the birds names, species, descriptions and history.

A great experience to get up close and learn about these beautiful creatures. Worth a trip for sure. The hawks and eagles than cant be released back into the wild have fun personalities and it is interesting to hear them up close and see them. One of the ladies who worked there brought out an eagle for us to learn about up close and take pictures with. The eagles name is Trouble and he is an ambassador.

Fantastic place to see birds of prey and owls up close. We even got to see a wild owl in the tree, talking to those in the enclosure. Loved our trip

Super educational! A nice self guided tour to see some birds of prey. Every dollar goes to the birds which is great. Right now they have some bird ornaments that are $2 are they are so cool and pretty and once again the funds go to the birds!

This place was awesome. Very informative and enjoyable. Glad to see that the took great c as re of these rare and amazing birds. Staff was very firendly and they have many good photo opportunities. Will definitely visit again!

This place is not huge and a little tucked away but had a lot of beautiful birds to see. Depending on the age you could spend a bit of time here. The staff was so sweet and you can tell they love the birds. It is outside so be mindful of the weather and it seemed that they had times when they would have small shows. Definitely an educational experience!

Great place for rehabilitation of birds of prey. Strongly recommend you check it out

Very nice place to visit. Very clean grounds. Great big and clean birch houses. The staff was great! Very helpful and knowledgable.

A lovely place with very helpful staff. Its obvious they take very good care of the birds.

Great exhibits and you can tell everyone here really cares for the animals theyre protecting.

This is great place for an educational visit as well as a amazing rescue/rehab/release facility. All the birds that are there permanently cannot be released. The location is nice on the lake and there is plenty of free parking. Spend anywhere from an hour for a quick walk-through to 3 or 4 if you read everything, watch the videos, and ask the staff questions.

Absolutely Loved It! Its an amazing place to go & see such beautiful birds up close. The price is more than reasonable

Excellent place to go as a family

I loved how each bird had a story. They tell u how and why they are there but I wish it was more interactive. See them fly etc. They did have some birds at the entrance so u could get up close

Super cool place. The baby owl shower was so much fun.

Really cool place to look at birds of prey. Fun informational guide provided. Interactive areas inside for kids (coloring, etc). Great access to many birds. There is alot to learn here about bird rescue and rehab. Most of the viewing areas are outside, so dress for the weather.

My 5 year old loved it.

This place is a real hoot! All puns intended. My girlfriend and I visited this center yesterday for something to do thanks to groupon. The volunteer at the front was very kind and happy to see us. He explained the self guided tour and how the sanctuary works.The place was clearly old, but well kept and the grounds were clean. It was rather small, but that makes me happy assuming they return more birds to nature then keeping them haha.It was neat seeing all the birds they had, from eagles to owls. This place has been around for a very long time. The last time I visited was with my Nana when I was 9, its one of my favorite memories with her. It was great to see this place still doing what it can to help our local wild life. Fun fact: my parents and I had a Red Tail Hawk who was injured and fell in our backyard when I was a kid. No one would help us till finally we found this place and they came out to rescue it since it was an endangered species. His wing was injured, my mom told me yesterday they kept him since he couldnt be returned to the wild. So I wonder if he was the Red Tail Hawk I saw in one of the enclosures.Its very neat what this place does and I really enjoyed my visit. When you get half way through I suggest take a walk on the bridge to the lake. It was very nice to sit at and in the water there are Lotus flowers growing. They were so pretty.They give you a booklet that explains the birds in the enclosure. Great place for families and kids. Expect to spend an hour to hour and half if youre one of those people who stop at every enclosure and take it all in.4 out of 5. Nothing super exceptional but excellent what they do for the birds and that they allow the public to visit to get better knowledge of their environment.

Great information about all the rescues. My kids enjoyed their time here very much. Great friendly staff

Great place to visit, well worth the price. Staff very nice and informative. David is a cool guy and very knowledgeable. Good people !

Great place to see Bald Eagles

First and foremost, it must be understood that this is not a zoo. This is a rescue and rehabilitation facility that seeks to return these amazing birds of prey to the wild, safely house those for whom this is impossible, and educate the public about these wonderful Aves. The facility houses a wide variety of birds of prey, and is highly informative about them. They are able to supply live fish for them, which they hunt for from pools in their enclosures, from the nearby lake, and it is a sight to see. The entry fee is a great value, especially to support education about and conservation of these animals.

This place was great! If you love owls or eagles this is the place to go. The staff were so nice. The birds are very well taken care of. We got to see a bald eagle take her toy into her little pool and take a bath! Absolutely amazing. Its only $8 for adults to go in. It should be more. I wanted to take every little owl home, they were adorable. Such a great place to visit. Not a big place, but a very big experience if you love birds of prey.

Disappointed. I had rescued an osprey that cut its wing on a truck and when I called, the woman said they close at 5 and since we would just be able to get there, they could not save this beautiful bird. I stayed for hours waiting on animal control until I could convince a vet who was local to see him. Not sure how things worked out as the vet closed and I have not heard anything. The osprey was doing well except for his wing. I hope he made it. No help from these people.

Really great work by the staff here. An opportunity to see some incredible birds up close, whilst giving them a second chance of life.

I say get rid of you people .Infact I am writing the Audobon Society to report the injustice of these predators infiltrating our neighborhoods and taking all the songbirds for a snack after the rain because the little songbirds cannot fly. Shame on you Bird of Prey Center for not protecting the littlest of Gods Creation.

We had a wonderful time and the kids loved it too!

Friendly staff, very interesting and chance to get up close to the raptors. Informative video and activities for children.

This place is not only full of beautiful birds its also full of people that vaulenteer or work there not for the monetary gain but because they saw a real need to step in and do a part in saving the wildlife that human beings take for granted and are consistently destroying their habitat, their home. These birds just like all wild animals dont have a voice, they dont get to protest or defend their homes, its so sad what we have done to our planet and with little concern to the balance of us verses wildlife, we win-they lose, we are ignorant to the fact that in the long run the earth will balance itself and when its us against mother nature we will lose. Im proud that their are small groups like this doing their part to help, we all need to become aware of the problems we as mankind are causing so it is important to bring your children to places like this to educate them. They need to know what is being done for the birds, and what they can do to help. If only we could really educate our youth, not to become consumers, not to only be cogs in economy machine, but really educate them to live to make the world a better home for all beings that are so blessed to be born on this oasis in space. This Earth does not belong to any single being or group of beings, this Earth is a ark for all Life, Life is precious, life should be cherished and Loved, all Life has one thing in common, plants and animals, are all trying to survive, I think we all deserve more than that, we where born on Earth which is the perfect place for us all to Thrive! Please watch Thrive on YouTube also watch billions for change and ask yourself what can you do to make the Earth a better place to live for someone or something else. I personally pick up trash when I am waiting for someone, or when I have time off, its not much but I think about how clean it would be if 1% of people did that, it would be great if the few people that do throw trash out their car window would wait and use a trash can at the gas station, and who knows, maybe seeing me pick up the trash inspires someone to change that bad habit. The point is to ask yourself if everyone did what I am doing what would the world be like? If it would be better then do it, if not then dont. Its time we all take responsibility for not only ourselves but all Life and the environment we all share. I admire everyone here at The Birds of Pray for taking responsibility for these beautiful beings of Life. Thank you all for doing our home planet this service.

We love animals so we are always lpoking to go to sanctuaries . If you go make sure you check out the deal on living social or Groupon; it definitely helps making it feel worth it. Its very small so getting a BOGO type of deal make it feel worth it. The 1 owl is very talkative and we enjoyed the gazebo by the water.

I always love seeing the rescued raptors. The staff is always incredibly helpful and we love how Tony will hoot back at you if you talk to him

A must if you visit Orlando! Wonderful place and people

Its the perfect place to see real life birds of prey up close and enjoy educational presentations from the care takers themselves

This was a great afternoon trip, it takes about 2 hours to walk through. If you like birds you should go

It was great to view and very educational.

Amazing little Bird Sanctuary & very large at all the rescuing they have accomplished with Birds of Prey !!!

Very informative and incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loved our visit!

Beautiful gardens and birds!

Wonderful place, small but well cared for. Lots of information in the self guided tour.

Learned a lot. Loved being up close to the bald eagle and barred owl! Great place to take the family to learn more about raptors.

You get to see birds of prey up close! All the way from a large eagle within arms reach to a tiny purring screech owl this was a really nice experience.

They do wonderful work here. Staff is kind, knowledgeable and patient with visitors.

This place is amazing. Staff is friendly and the birds amazing. Low cost to get in. The exhibit is small, but you can spend hours here taking it all in.

They were so kind to help me when I needed to find a place for my daughters friends chicken. I could not thank them more for helping me out. This place is also an amazing place to go to learn all about birds of pray.

It was very educational

Beautiful birds and a wonderful staff!

Wonderful place to see birds of prey! Walk through at your own pace.

Great place to visit. The people are fun and informative.

What a great experience to see these birds up close; the staff were excellent and fielded all our questions and had such great personal stories as well.

Very beautiful center for birds of prey.they rehabilitate birds if possible.the Injured birds also raise eggs Ang young of other birds.

A very fun afternoon activity that you can feel good about. Its like a mini zoo but better. You get to learn about the individual birds that theyre helping by name

Such a nice way to spend a bit of time on a quiet day off! Beautiful birds and very nice staff.

I love this place! Great staff, very friendly. Theres a lot of spiders around though. I just wish they could clear the spiders out of those places. Otherwise its great!

Great place to just hang out and see the great birds, kind of depressing to see them not able to fly. Ever. You kind of feel sorry for them.

What a wonderful place. I actually got to pet a bald eagle! Its very cool to see them actually working with these rehabilitated birds and the grounds are kept clean. Definitely worth the trip and its in a great area, only 5 mins from plenty of food options.

This is a place for injured birds of prey, entrance fee goes for food and shelter, for these majestic birds

I love everything about Audubon the locations great secluded! The birds are literally right there for u to see never been so close to a bald eagle and they have do great work saving injured or endangered birds of prey so cool to see falcons vultures owls and osprays up close and on they porch u can use binoculars to get an even closer look! A must visit

This place is pretty fun for about an hour or so of entertainment. You’ll see some owls (great for Harry Potter fans) some eagles, and some hawks. I’m sure there are some other birds there, but those are what stood out to me.To my understanding, they take their eagles out a couple times a day and show them to people. Other than that, you can only see them from a distance (a short distance)Good people work here and it’s a great place to take bird fanatics and kids alike.I thought it was a little expensive just to tour and see birds in cages, hence the 4 stars.I think you’ll be glad you went.

Love this place. Very Zen. It is so serene and peaceful. They really are great with the birds.

Took and injured hawk here after doing Fema work in the area. Unfortunately he didnt make it but the staff was very caring and they give you a number so you can check on the bird you bring in.

We had a great time learning about birds of prey. The center is dedicated to the rehabilitation of these birds, as well as educating people about them. Staff were very friendly and informed, making us feel very welcome. The setting is beautiful and relaxing as well.

Awesome! This is one of those great little secrets in central Florida. It doesnt cost too much and you get up close to huge bald eagles and other awesome birds. The staff is really nice and the parking is free. If you have kids this is a must do. My daughter loves the birds.

I loved getting to see the birds of prey up close. Can absolutely tell that the staff is knowledgeable and cares for the birds.

Such a nice calm relaxing place to visit. You could even bring food to eat out by the lake under the gazebo and relax. all the birds are extremely healthy and the grounds well taken care of. Kind of cool to hear owls hooting in the afternoon.

Beautiful place Awesome staff!! Highly recommend

This was a great place to visit. My wife and I volunteer for The Owl Foundation in Ontario, so the chance to tour an Audubon raptor centre couldnt be missed. Its an amazing facility, theyre doing great work with the local raptors. I would definitely recommend supporting their efforts with a tour. Its really inexpressive to visit, and informative.
