Had a lovely day out doing the Owl Experience. We were shown around and got to see all of the birds and then we got to hold some and to fly one of the owls. A really different experience and not your usual day out. Would be brilliant for families and kids too.

We very much enjoyed talking with the Falconers about each of the birds that they have on site. We got to walk from each enclosure and learn about the uniqueness of each bird and hear anecdotes about them. The highlight was going to a field for our Hawk Walk, where the Falconer had the Hawk fly away and then come back to us and land right on our arms......many, many times. So cool to watch a hawk coming down from the trees and land on your arm. Really neat experience.....especially, when you know they are not going to try to tear your face off....definitely worth the price to do this !

Located in the grounds of Russborough House but be warned the birds are only flown on week-ends. The people working with the birds are very informative and friendly and the children get to hold the tanawy owl.It is situated about 3 miles from Blessington on the Dublin Baltinglass road great place for all the family to spend an afternoon and no problem with parking

We went and looked around the national bird of prey centre at Russborough house.
The tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable.
The birds are very well looked after in clean large aviarys and there is a wide and varied selection of birds from around the world.
We were told that the birds are flown at weekends which was slightly disappointing as we visited on a Thursday so we still paid the same price but didn't see any flying displays.
The kids all got to hold a tawny owl and enjoyed the experience.
