✓ Spectacular falconry displays✓ Outstanding husky encounters✓ Interactive animal handling✓ Friendly expert staff✓ Pre-book experiences

🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for children aged three and above who want active animal contact rather than enclosure observation. The husky experience is the standout for dog-loving families; the falconry display delivers genuine spectacle for everyone. Pre-booking experiences is essential — the site is compact and the standard entry alone covers less ground than expected.

“We went down to foundation and I have to say it was worth the visit. The eagle flight show was the highlight of the whole trip. The bird keeper very impressive and I loved all the fun facts about the birds that he shared along the way. Other than the bird show to be honest the whole place can be explored within 10mins or so if you breeze by. But if you want to splurge, you should definitely get the animal experience or even the afternoon tea. And please carry some changed if you have any amount works, it just helps in the maintenance cost of running this foundation.”

“We booked in for a husky kennels tour for my daughter’s birth day. It did not disappoint. A full hands on interactive experience where clearly the dogs are at the heart of the keepers. The falconry displays (x2, with different birds each time) were amazing and the handlers made them as interactive as possible. It’s a small place but we had a really lovely time here and can highly recommend. They have a small gift shop which is also very reasonably priced.”

“We took my son, a huge Huskey fan, for the walk the huskies and meet the huskies experiences at Eagle Heights. We had a great day and both experiences were really enjoyable. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the experiences themselves were a really good length of time with lots of opportunities to get close to the dogs. It’s a great place to visit and this was our second time and we’ll definitely be going back.”
