Meet Birds of Prey​

For travelers and tourists wanting to experience real Florida, the center provides an opportunity to view, up close and personally, Bald Eagles, Ospreys, kites, owls, and falcons. Visitors can learn about the unique adaptations of raptors, the challenges they face, and ways to help. Take a walk to the gazebo, and see the center’s Magic of Flight barn, which houses birds currently under rehabilitation. View the man-made wetland, a natural pollutant reducer that improves the water quality of Lake Sybelia. Additional exhibits highlight conservation in Florida, climate change, and Eagle Eyes on the Environment, a behind-the-scenes look into rehabilitation. 

We hope you enjoy your time with us and visit again soon.
