You don't have to be a birder to love this place. This center is devoted to birds of prey in a way that is compelling. There's a variety of big birds of prey--bald eagle, California condors, alpomado falcons--in roomy cages, there are presentations of individual birds (kind of a "meet-and-greet"), there are films to watch, and there's a tour that...

It a nice place to visit, however they don't have a lot of birds and it's not that close to downtown.

This is an attraction that surprised us. Along with some up close views of about ten different raptors, there are four different opportunities every day to enjoy seeing and hearing about one of the residents of this facility. The staff and volunteers are very knowledgable, and do not lose you in hard to understand vocabulary. Twice a day, there is... More

The Birds of Prey Center exceeded our expectations! It is located overlooking Boise, yet is only a 15 minute drive from the center of town up to the Center. Many birds, including a bald eagle, condors, vultures, owls, etc., etc. There are movies about the various birds as well as live bird demonstrations all through the day. There is much... More

We spent the whole day here and loved it. We did the behind the scenes tour. I highly recommend visiting if you have any interest in birds of prey. The staff/volunteers were very knowledgeable and friendly. Plus they do amazing conservation here. I wish we lived closer. I would be here every day.

This is a good place for those of us bird lovers who enjoy seeing Birds of Prey. I received a guided tour of the musuem, library, and a short show with a hawk. I learned about how clean a hawk pellet really is. It was all very interesting. Seeing the many different birds of prey and learning about them is... More

Well laid out. Excellent staff and guides. Really doing important work not only in education but conservation. Very interesting exhibits and live birds to watch close up. Outdoor interpretive walk very informative and live demonstrations at specific times.

this was a great attraction to go to. The birds are gorgeous and they do great talks where they bring the birds out to you. We could have stayed all day. They have a great room for kids to put on wings, beaks, eyes, and talons. We took four kids ages 6-12 and they didn't want to leave!! This was... More

If you are into wildlife and nature, this is a must see for the entire family. Early spring and fall are excellent times to visit. Can be a little hot during July, but early morning visits can be enriching.

Up on a hill over looking Boise, Idaho, the World Center for Birds of Prey is a great educational experience for all bird lovers. The staff was gracious and informative. It's very intimate. You can get pretty close to falcons, condors, bald eagles, and a turkey vulture named Lucy. What is really cool is in the center of the facility... More
