“I got to participate in the Owl Experience and it was excellent. Winnie is a gorgeous female Barn Owl and her trainer, Danielle, was knowledgeable, personable and passionate. I highly recommend participating in any of their experiences! The staff are welcoming and exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about these animals and education.”
