Award-winning birds of prey centre in Kent with multiple daily flying displays, hands-on eagle and owl experiences, and a 22-acre wildlife trail. Junior Falconry and photography sessions available for older children.
๐ Funzaroo Verdict
Outstanding for families with children aged 3+ who are curious about wildlife. The falconers here go well beyond a standard show - kids get to fly birds themselves and ask detailed questions throughout. Photography sessions suit older children and adults wanting a deeper engagement.

โWe had a fantastic morning meeting a of beautiful array owls. Special mention to our falconer Luna, he made our experience truly special he is a real credit to Willows - thank you. We were also ahead of schedule so Luna kindly allowed us to meet the Kookaburra which meant we got the full 2 hours was nice rather than just sending us on our way like most places would do. All the birds were clearly well cared for and loved - especially with their brand new enclosures. Highly recommend, would love to return to meet the Burrowing Owls.โ

โAfter several years of abandoning my camera, I recently attended a Bird of Prey Photography experience Day where I had the opportunity to photograph various birds both in flight and perched. Julian was able to give practical advice such as shooting modes, exposure settings and more. He was friendly, patient and keen to share his knowledge, which helped me to gain confidence in using my camera again. The staff at Willows were accommodating, friendly and enthusiastic, and had a wealth of knowledge about the birds, Thanks to Michaela, Ben, Luna and Josh. If you're interested in learning new hands on skills in photographing birds and nature or you need some motivation to start using your camera again, I would recommend this experience, Willows is a fantastic place to be able to do this, .โ

โWe loved our Owl Encounter at Willows. There were so many opportunities to see the birds up close, in flight and to fly them ourselves. Our falconer, Michaela, was hugely knowledgeable and engaging. Loads of opportunities to ask questions, too. We have been visiting Willows regularly as our daughter loves seeing the animals - it is such a great place and really has something for everyone.โ

Overview
Willows houses eagles, hawks, owls, and a turkey vulture across a 22-acre site with daily flying demonstrations. Falconers run structured encounters where visitors fly birds themselves, not just observe. Junior Falconry courses, owl encounter sessions, and raptor photography experiences are bookable in advance. Staff are deeply knowledgeable and routinely extend sessions when the schedule allows.
