Absolutely — the close-up encounters with birds are very exciting for young children, and the site is manageable in size, making it well-suited to families with toddlers.

It is advisable to check directly with the centre before bringing dogs, as the presence of birds of prey means there may be restrictions on where dogs are permitted on site.

Most families find that two to three hours is plenty of time to see the birds, watch a flying display, and enjoy any hands-on experiences on offer.
