Arrive Early for the Best Views

Arriving early means you'll secure a great spot for flying displays and have a quieter, more relaxed experience with the birds before peak visitor times.

Bring a Camera

The owls make for incredible photographs — a zoom lens or a phone with a good camera is well worth having to capture those close-up moments during displays.

Got Questions?

Here’s the questions people are asking about World of Owls

Yes, the attraction is well suited to young children. The birds are fascinating for all ages and staff are experienced at making the experience engaging and safe for little ones. Always supervise young children closely around the birds.

Handling experiences are typically available, though these may need to be booked in advance or are subject to availability on the day. Check the official website for the latest information on what's included with admission.

As a bird sanctuary, dogs are generally not permitted on site to avoid distressing the resident birds. It's always best to confirm directly with the attraction before your visit.

Most families find that two to three hours is ample time to explore the site, watch the flying displays, and enjoy any handling sessions. You could easily extend your stay if you'd like to spend more time watching the birds.

On-site parking is typically available for visitors. The site is located on Mount Shalgus Lane, and it is advisable to check the attraction's website or contact them directly for the most up-to-date parking information.

Parts of the site are on natural outdoor terrain, which may present some challenges for pushchairs and wheelchairs. It is recommended to contact the attraction ahead of your visit to discuss accessibility requirements.
