Under the umbrella of the Avian Conservation Center, The Center for Birds of Prey and the Avian Medical and Oiled Bird Treatment Facility identify and address vital environmental issues through avian medicine, educational outreach and conservation initiatives. The newly expanded campus allows visitors the opportunity to experience birds of prey in a natural setting and to learn more about avian science and environmental conservation. The Center for Birds of Prey invites visitors to discover the life of raptors through guided walking tours, educational conservation programs and captivating flight demonstrations. We are open to the public three days a week for tours of the facility where you can see bald eagles, great horned owls, golden eagles, peregrine falcons and more! Guests can also stay for bird flight demonstrations that occur after each walking tour.

Very educational and interesting. Seeing birds in flight was phenomenal and during demonstrations they would fly right over your head. Wonderful for children and adults.

This place is phenomenal. They do flight demonstrations and discuss the variances of flight and hunting. They flew owls, a red tail and a turkey vulture. They also took time to ask questions. Very knowledgeable people working for a great cause and they are all volunteers. When they are done, you can tour 2 areas (walk) where they keep the birds. Note: Slightly long walk across a fairly flat field to get to the bleacher like seats. It is South Carolina; it will be HOT in the summer so I suggest appropriate clothes, a hat and a water.

Been a huge fan of birds of prey for as long as I can remember so had to check this place out while we were in town, accidentally stumbled upon it on maps. It was everything I was hoping it would be: up close and personal with several species of large birds! Staff was super cool and informative on the different bird types. As part of the demonstration, had one of the birds fly about an arms length away! My wife, who was nowhere near as excited as me to go, really enjoyed the visit as well!
