If only to see and appreciate the endangered but magnificent Philippine Eagle, I would rate this place a 5. We were fortunate enough to have a free tour guide named Obet (I think) and his explanation of the eagle’s life cycle (i.e. only 1 eaglet every 2 years, 2-year courtship before becoming a pair for life, etc.) made our visit...

the Eagle Center is a must-see for all first time visitors to this city. It represents a valiant, continuing attempt to restore the Philippine Eagle, hunted to the point of eradication, to its rightful habitat. The birds are magnificent, and beautifully exhibited in larger enclosures; the guides (often local college students) are knowledgeable, friendly, and respond eagerly to questions. The... More

there is a free guided tour. it is a just a short walk. i learned to appreciate the philippine eagle. if you are generous enough, you can sponsor one of the philippine eagles and you will have the honor to name it.

The place gives one hope. This is a breeding place for animals in near extinction. We donated for the study and preservation of our Philippine eagle.

If you are a Philippino you will probably think a lot higher of the place than I do, but if you are a western foreigner you will probably get a bit disappointed. If you go there with out having big expectation, I think most will enjoy it. Great to combine with Malagos garden resort

Hired a car through the hotel. Center is approximately an hour from central Davao. Birds and a few animals are housed in cages that are sometimes cramped. Many of the birds are one's that people do not usually see so the trip was worth it. Additionally one gets a chance to see some of Mindinao.

It was nice to see a Philippine Eagle in real life. Unfortunately the place needs a makeover to be able to attract more tourists. The cages are old and the whole place is properly managed. But going there was still worth it.

And no this place is the same type of place the song describes but is a much better place in fact. The Philippine Eagle Center is a beautiful place located in the jungle covered mountains outside of Davao about an hour away from the city center. Guides are available but not needed because you can just follow the moss covered... More

After being exposed to other "animal attractions" in the Philippines, I was suprised and found this property to exceed my initial expectations. Several of the birds were tethered out in the open for better photos and one of the caretakers brought one of the Sea Eagles out of the cage for a close up photo ops. Birds in cages still... More
