The British Bird of Prey Centre, Wales

The British Bird of Prey Centre is based within 568 acres of the National Botanic Garden of Wales and your entry ticket includes the whole site. 

While you are at the Centre you will be able to visit all of the birds in their houses. You are welcome to do this as many time as you like during your visit.

All of our aviaries have been designed specifically for each individual species, so will all be slightly different. Most of our birds are captive bred and are therefore used to people. They would not survive if they had to go into the wild. We fly them all daily to give them a chance to be free, but they all like to come home and be warm and fed at the end of the day.

What to expect...

Entry to the British Bird of Prey Centre is included in your entry ticket to the Garden. This means you can enjoy a full day of activities for all of the family. You are welcome to come up to the Centre and meet the birds in their houses and spend as long as you like with them, for no additional charge.  

All of the birds here get to fly free daily in our amazing free-flying shows. Tickets can be purchased exclusively on your arrival at The British Bird of Prey Centre. 

Show prices are per person (over 2 years):

1 show: £3 or Family ticket (4 people): £10

2 shows: £4 or Family ticket (4 people): £14

3 shows: £5 or Family ticket (4 people): £18

Once you enter the Garden we can be spotted to the left of Gatehouse, nestled up on the hillside amongst the trees. Follow the wooden sign posts or your map to find us. Our aviaries are designed specifically to house our native species. You will be able to walk around and see the birds in their own homes, watch them show off their talents in our flying displays or even try flying one yourself.  

As you approach the Centre, look for the large photograph of Hector our European Eagle Owl, our shop is just to the left through the double doors, where one of our team will be waiting to welcome you.

Your ticket means you can come and go all day, so you can find a nice picnic spot to have some lunch, enjoy the other exciting things happening in the Garden and come back to the Centre as many times as you like during the day.
