New location is beautiful. So much bigger and better. All the volunteers are great, very knowledgeable of the birds and letting you handle them, letting you know which can be stroked and which can’t. Fantastic little cafe with a range of different sandwiches, toasties, paninis, jacket potatoes, and more. You do not need to get tickets in advance, you can pay in on the day - cash or card. There are two talks, one at half 11, and one at half 1. Both last a fair amount of time to allow quite a few different birds to fly for food while giving facts and often telling jokes too.

I had a great time and found it very engaging to see all the impressive different species they have there. The centre has just moved locations apparently and had only been open 3 days when I went. Despite this, everything was running well and the staff were very accommodating. Making sure I was able to get around in my electric wheelchair. Honestly well worth a visit. I got to see and interact with plenty of birds of prey, it was a lot of fun.

My partner and I had a great day out at the Bird of Prey Centre, we would love to come back one day soon. Billy was the falconer showing us the birds and letting us handle them, he was super friendly and really made the experience for us. It’s so admirable the amount of knowledge he shared with us and just how passionate he is about them. The family working inside were really lovely and welcoming too. Thank you for a great day!

Had the best day with our 8 year old. Booked for the Hawk walk and time handling the owls. Wow! What an experience. Billy was out falconer for the Hawk walk and owls. We couldn't of asked for a nicer person . Very knowledgeable , Interesting and passionate about the birds. The 3 of us and Billy took Maverick the Harris Hawk for a walk around grounds holding and flying him ourselves. Amazing. Then we took part in the flying show for everyone , you get to be very close to lots of the birds. Then we had a behind the scenes with the owls , so interesting. Can't praise the staff here enough. Great people , clearly very passionate and doing great things. Small cafe and toilets on site.

I had a Photogaphy day at York bird of prey centre bought for me as a birthday present last year and last Friday 27th June i managed to use my ticket. What fantastic day i had over 6 hours in total and also fed and drink included at dinner time. I spent the day with Billy who was very knowledgeable and also keen to share his knowlrdge. I got handle many of the birds watched the displays even went into some of the enclosures during feeding time ect. I took many photo's of the birds flying and portrait's also a great experiance of watching and photography of a lure session with one of the Hawkes. All of the staff were very friendly and i would love to visit again maybe when they move to their new premises.
