This was a wonderful experience. The buildings and grounds are attractive, the staff friendly and the birds beautiful. Each of these birds has been saved and healed by the Center. They are lliving their life here because they could not survive in the wild. This makes it feel much better than a zoo. The information signs say just enough and... More

The "bird show" was terrible, our family expected to see something more than a handler holding a half blind, partially deaf bird while she gave a 15 minute speech on the importance of protecting falcons. She asked for it to remain as silent as possible and when a parent got up to remove their crying baby from the audience she... More

I wasn't too sure what to expect from this place considering I'm not much of a bird watcher or anything. But I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting the birds were, especially the bald eagle. And the staff is very friendly. More

This place, located just a bit south of Boise proper, is a really unique opportunity to learn about the large birds of prey that have now become so scare in the wild. The exhibits are informative and easy to understand, and, most importantly, are really interesting. The most fun for the kids is usually the birds themselves. There are a... More

We had a group of nine people aged 5 to 49, and everyone enjoyed our visit (including the two teens). The tour guides at the center are extremely well educated and informative. I recommend that you take advantage of all the programs offered, and ask about visiting the Archives. We learned all about falconry and got to go into a... More

This is an enlightening & entertaining place to visit. Great exhibits comparing & contrasting the the various birds as well as areas for viewing the birds & even scheduled events to watch them fly. They have some very rare birds in captivity & are breeding others, i.e. the CA condor, for reintroduction to the wilds. This is awe-inspiring place. Be... More

This is one of a few world-wide locations for migrating birds of prey. They have a few large projects [worldwide] that you can learn about, it's quite impressive. They also have a wide range of actual raptors there to see. I actually think this is better geared towards families with older children, maybe 8 or 9 and up. They will... More

Very interesting! We enjoyed learning about the birds here. Staff was very helpful and informative. We caught one of the live bird demos and it was cool to see the birds up close. More

My 93-year old wheel chair bound mom enjoyed this place...being 5 - 10' in front of these hawks, eagles, owls gives you a good sense of what a winged predator is really like...and the condors are a must see. If you have an additional hour or so, go to Swan Falls and see the same in real life soaring up/down... More
