点评:We had an brilliant time at the Scottish Owl Centre. So many different birds to see from so many different parts of the world.
My mum and I were very impressed with senior keeper Nicole and the amount of information she shared during the indoor flying display, and we were amazed at the variety of owls that were shown. The loud thump of the snowy owl as it landed on a perch was so cool!
The gift shop was well stocked with many owl themed items (I bought a little owl ornament for our Christmas tree), and all the staff we spoke to were very friendly. I enjoyed my visit so much that I decided to adopt Tomsk the ural owl for a year. We'll be visiting again in the future!
I would maybe advise against bringing really young children as they may be expecting a highler level of interaction with the owls that you won't experience unless you book something like the owl encounter. There were a few children under the age of 5 at the indoor display, and by the end of it they were getting bored and fidgety and wanting to stand up. (Which isn't ideal when you have a massive owl flying over your heads.) Older children around the ages of 8 and above who are patient and have a good indoor voice that won't disturb the birds will have a great time.

我和妈妈都对高级饲养员妮可印象深刻,她在室内飞行表演中分享了大量的知识。展出的猫头鹰种类之多也让我们惊叹不已。雪鸮落在栖木上时发出的“砰”的一声,真是太酷了!
礼品店里摆满了各种猫头鹰主题的商品(我买了一个小猫头鹰挂饰挂在圣诞树上),我们遇到的所有工作人员都非常友好。我非常喜欢这次参观,以至于我决定认养乌拉尔猫头鹰托姆斯克一年。我们以后还会再来的!
我建议不要带太小的孩子来,因为他们可能会期望与猫头鹰进行更深入的互动,但除非你预订像“猫头鹰互动体验”这样的项目,否则你可能无法体验到这种程度的互动。室内展览区有一些五岁以下的孩子,到最后他们开始感到无聊、坐立不安,想要站起来。(当一只巨大的猫头鹰在头顶飞过时,这可不太理想。)八岁及以上、有耐心、说话轻声细语不会惊扰鸟类的孩子会玩得很开心。
