Join us for our annual raptor festival that celebrates these powerful hunters of the sky. This unique event is held throughout the Center and offers unforgettable encounters!
You will meet our resident raptors up close – including owls, hawks, falcons, and eagles. You will learn about each species, including their lifestyle habits and habitats. Stations across the grounds will provide interactive and educational experiences for you and your guests. Learn about conservation, how to nurture and support birds around your own home, and enjoy bird-themed crafts and activities. Sign up to have your picture taken with your favorite raptor! This special event supports the Raptors of Schlitz Audubon program and the resident, non-releasable birds in our care.
