点评:We did the half day private family experience and it did not disappoint!
It involves meeting 4 birds (we added on an extra snow owl experience too so got to meet 5 in total) and have half hour with each along with plenty of photo ops, the option of watching the flight show displays and refreshments included.
Alex took us around and was fantastic - so knowledgeable.
I didn't expect the birds to have such character but also loved that they truly were allowed to do what they wanted and fly for as long as they want where they want. Maggie the owl decided to fly into the field next door and not return for a few hours but there was no panic. The birds have the option to fly away if they wish and the fact that they stay show how well they are cared for. They all look so happy and content!
The experience was meant to last a bit 3 hours but it was just over 4 for us as Echo the Raven refused to go back to his home for a while delaying the planned flight show and causing much entertainment to us all there with his wicked behaviour! There was absolutely no rushing us around and it genuinely was worth every penny.
They do an own experience by night on a Friday where you get soup and hot chocolates and sit inside the barn with fairy lights and the owls fly freely around you - we are definitely booking onto that!
Our experience was more premium in price but worth every penny. However there are a lot of other experiences available to suit all budgets.
And experiences not needed - definitely worth a spin up to go there for a few hours to watch the flight shows and see the birds (flight shows at 11am, 1pm and 3pm) and there is a little cafe there too for the perfect day out.
I am so lucky to have this nearby to us and my son enjoyed it so much we will definitely be returning often!
翻译:我们参加了半日私人家庭体验,真是太棒了!
体验包括与四种鸟类亲密接触(我们还额外加了一次雪鸮体验,所以一共见到了五种),每种鸟都有半小时的互动时间,期间还有很多拍照机会,可以选择观看飞行表演,而且还包含茶点。
Alex 带我们参观,他非常棒——知识渊博。
我没想到这些鸟儿会这么有个性,而且它们真的可以自由自在地飞,想飞多久就飞多久,想飞到哪里就飞到哪里,这一点也让我非常感动。猫头鹰 Maggie 飞到了隔壁的田野里,几个小时都没回来,但我们一点也不担心。鸟儿们可以自由选择是否飞走,而它们选择留下来,说明它们得到了很好的照顾。它们看起来都非常快乐满足!
体验原本预计持续三个小时左右,但我们花了四个多小时,因为渡鸦 Echo 一刻也不肯回巢,耽误了原定的飞行表演,它那调皮捣蛋的行为也给我们带来了不少乐趣!他们完全没有催促我们,而且真的物超所值。
周五晚上他们会推出一项特别体验,你可以喝到热汤和热巧克力,坐在挂满彩灯的谷仓里,看着猫头鹰在你周围自由飞翔——我们肯定会预订的!
我们体验的项目价格更高一些,但绝对物有所值。当然,他们还有很多其他体验项目,适合各种预算。
即使不参加任何体验项目,也绝对值得花几个小时去那里观看飞行表演,看看这些鸟儿(飞行表演时间分别是上午 11 点、下午 1 点和 3 点),那里还有一个小咖啡馆,是完美的一日游选择。
我很幸运,我们家附近就有这么棒的地方,我儿子也玩得非常开心,我们肯定会经常光顾!
