A guaranteed great family day out, The Raptor Foundation is a must-visit for any kids or adults who love nature, learning about animals and getting close to our wonderful local, and not so local, (unless you’ve seen a bald eagle soaring over Cambs recently!) wildlife. You don’t have to be a twitcher to make the most of a day here though, because the experiences and activities on offer will delight even the least Chris Packham-like of people. A visit here will give you a new appreciation for these huge birds as you watch awesome aerial displays, discover new species you’ve never heard of and learn about the many rescued birds of prey.

Once you’ve spent time with the feathered friends there are also mischievous meerkats to meet and fascinating reptiles to visit. And the daily talks from the keepers will ensure you go home with lots of new and fascinating facts to impress your friends with. After all the animal action there’s a tearoom and playground too, to complete the perfect family day out.

The best bit about a visit here is that not only will you have a fabulous family day out, but the ticket price helps The Raptor Foundation to rescue, rehabilitate and return injured birds of prey back to the wild. So it’s a real feel-good family activity. If you want to get even more stuck in with the conservation work there’s the chance to sign up for some special experiences and courses, including holding a bird, taking part in a hawk walk, enlisting on a falconry day, or signing up to a Junior Keeper Day.
