Had a great time for my birthday here. The free flight raptor show was the highlight of course but the entire campus is really great.It is well worth the visit and in so doing you help with raptor conservation. The education center is loaded with the history of falconry with many displays and artwork to see. I'll join the Peregrine fund as my small part in helping out the fastest animal on our planet...

Outstanding experience! I learned so much from the very knowledgeable and kind volunteers and to be able to see such amazing birds so up close and in person was mind blowing! Definitely recommended 5 stars.

This was a most EXCELLENT exciting experience and a MUST-DO for anyone living in the area, entertaining out of state family, or any just plain bird lover!! ❤️ Everything was SO IMPRESSIVE, but especially the birds!!! ✨The California Condors were my favorite to see. ✨ALSO: The Harpy Eagle!!! Just beyond impressed with their beautiful educational facility. The murals are so beautiful and really add aesthetically to the bird enclosures. They were doing LIVE RELEASES when we arrived and also had a Burrowing Owl showing whilst giving us information on their habit, nesting cycles, etc. ✨All of the staff and volunteer staff are wonderful and were dedicated in answering all of our questions. A SPECIAL THANK YOU to Allen, Penny/ Peggy (?-sorry!) and another young woman whose name I didn’t catch. Their Gift Shop is phenomenal, as well. ❤️ You know, it’d actually be a GREAT place, to take a date!!! During the weekday there was no more than 1/2 dozen people there.

We went here one morning and had a look around the center. It was interesting and the staff were friendly and helpful. There weren't a huge number of birds to see, but there were a small number of really cool ones- a bald eagle, peregrine falcon, harpy eagle, and California condors. It's kinda small, but worth a visit.

Super interesting! Love that you got to see different birds. A little small right now but they are remodeling and adding an outdoor theater and an interactive zone coming in July 2022. Excited for that and we'll be coming back.

Truly loved this place! The staff is amazing and pricing is great for every budget and most importantly the entry feed goes to feeding the birds there and to help save endangered species like the California Condor through the sites breeding facilities! Amazing and informative place to visit with awesome displays of the birds housed here, such as the one I attended where the falcon flew around the room you're inside while the staff member explained the bird and the things the fund is doing to save the falcon and other birds of prey from extinction! I highly recommend this place for everyone to visit! If you can visit I highly encourage you to go to their website and donate money to help these birds survive and thrive well into the future!

If you live in the Boise area become a member, if you're just visiting this place it is amazing and does amazing work so make it a must do while in Boise. The raptors here are incredible and love to put on a show, they are all full of character. The people that work/volunteer are also wonderful and welcoming and full of knowledge. I went on a Sunday during a visit to Boise and because I enjoyed it so much I came back on Monday even though I knew it was closed just so I could peek over the fence from the parking lot and see the California Condor again. There are also new enclosures being built. Parking is easy and free and the location is easy to find and in a great spot to look down on the City.

They're building a new compound to really show off their collection of raptors, but the long history of conservation of the hunting birds of the wild is why we loved supporting this organization. It's amazing seeing the condors in an enclosure that is bigger than what they had but it's still far too small for them to really fly. The new buildings and enclosures should be amazing, but they look to be at least as year or from being complete at this point (August 2022). The educational shows every few hours are good. The library on falconry is the real treasure.

This is one of the nicest bird sanctuaries that I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. The overall exhibit is amazing and the must-see falconry demonstrations are world class. Add in the incredible Falconry Archives Museum and it is just a fascinating experience for lovers of Birds of Prey, or just birds and nature, in general. Kudos to your efforts and your knowledgeable, helpful and awesome staff.

Very impressive facility. We received a warm welcome, as my parents were both very involved in falconry in the 60s and 70s. Definitely worth checking out, and don't forget The Archives of Falconry building next door.

Wonderful organization dedicated to helping endangered raptors. Loved seeing hawks, falcons, eagle, owls and condors. Saw condors on live TV that hatched in May. My favorite part was sewing live presentation with owl. The experience of being in room listening to presentation and watching beautiful owl soar back and forth across room was awesome! Fortunately I've lived here entire life and one of my favorite places to visit is WCBOP. They are currently expanding and can't wait to see!!! Enjoyed walking on path and seeing different plants and explanations. Visit and support this amazing conservation center!!!

Can't say enough good things about this place. It's a hidden gem. They do amazing work to save birds of prey! Go to their Fall Flights presentation if you can. Watch all sorts of birds of prey fly right by you. Then go into the facility and you can see Condors, a Harpy Eagle, Bald Eagle and many, many other birds of prey.

Wonderful place to take children. Lovely exhibits, beautiful birds, and very informative. If you live nearby, an annual membership is a great buy! We have a family of 5 and our membership pays for itself after two visits. But if you're just visiting the area, I highly recommend stopping by.

It's very nice. A zoo for Predator birds. It's cool. They have three shows a day. Seniors $12, an adults $10. I missed the kids price. You can call a head. An Hiking trails with points of interest, As well There's a points of interest road you can drive, an takes you down to over look the Shake river,as well as Swan falls dam. I'll definitely be going back. You'll want to plan to spend some time. Maybe 4hrs. Pack a lunch. An bring your binoculars, an camers.

My in laws were visiting from out of town and love birds so we thought we would take them to the Birds of Prey and it was great! The birds there are just so beautiful. Make sure to go there when there is a show. They bring out different birds and it’s a very amazing educational experience.

We were able to see the wild birds closely and were educated about these birds. Currently, they are working on building an outdoor classroom, an exhibit, and an education center. Outdoor bird fly events start and ends between September-November, every year.

This is an incredible experience. We did the live raptor demonstration, and it was definitely an experience. If you are even remotely interested in birds of prey I'd highly recommend visiting.

We make an annual visit to the Fall Flights and I highly recommend you do the same! It's an incredible learning experience and so fun too. For fans of raptors, or those on the fence, you'll find it hard to not want to get invested in protecting these vital parts of the ecosystem.

I absolutely loved this experience. We went during the winter so it was pretty quiet. Make sure to go when they have shows (about every two hours) because they do free flying with a raptor and explain some of the conservation process. This has been one of my favorite conservation experiences.

Had a wonderful time. Wish the wood wings to take the pictures of how you measure up to each Birds wings was still available not the little vinyl sign it just isn't the same especially when it's behind a fence pole ☹️😢.

I'm not a big fan of birds but this place almost converted me. The outdoor show is as up-close as you get, with birds dragging their feathers across your head as they fly over. Great variety of birds and demonstrations. Staff was clearly devoted to the cause. I think kids would think it both cool and scary and fascinating, so they'd be talking about it for days afterward. Price is family-friendly, too. Highly recommended.

This was my 1st time visiting the Center and I am so impressed! What a Gorgeous place ! They put on live Talks -scheduled several times a day. Stephanie is the Curator and she's the Woman in my photo. Stephanie told us a lot of valuable information about Vultures and Birds of Prey plus showed us Lucy & Oliver ! Lucy is the Turkey Vulture & Oliver is the African Owl. If one enjoys Birds and want to see unusual ones this place is a Must -See !

This place was great the volunteers were helpful and very experienced. I believe it was Julie who had 900 hours which was impressive until we meet someone with 1500 hours needless to say they enjoy it. Honestly it was very nice my only complaint is that the facility is a bit small and most of the birds are indoors. Unlike the condors (picture attached) the peregrine falcon is my favorite bird of prey so it was nice too see it and I would probably go back. Price seems a bit steep for what is there but they do alot for conservation so they say, which makes it more worth it. All in all, it was a very nice experience.

Very nice grounds, even a picnic. We made it a family outing that ended up being very informative. We enjoyed the sanctuary walk, we did not take the trail walk but it looked awesome. Great views of the Valley. From the looks of things much is being added in the very near future. Definitely worth a return visit. Restrooms are very clean

Definitely worth the drive up the hill. Admissions are not expensive and there is plenty to see for an hour or two. We got to see 3 meet and greets where on was a free flying where you got to learn more about conservation efforts. The Harpi Eagle was my favorite. Great place to come with family or even as a date.

Amazing! Incredible! You will never get the opportunity to see these birds, hear them, learn about them! Incredible conservation and breeding program! Thank you to the people that work here!

I loved this Center so much that I purchased a Family Annual Pass! Being up close to a Bald Eagle was amazing in itself, but watching them fly?!? Mind blowing! We were able to see 2 presentations as well, done by the volunteers & staff. Very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. Enjoyed the indoor museum as well. So much information and birds of prey to see… both alive and taxidermies. Great gift shop as well! Unique, fun family adventure!

Incredible place that is an ABSOLUTE MUST stop if you are in the Boise area. The staff is very friendly, and willing to answer any questions you might have. I was fortunate enough to stop in while they were doing a live flight show which did not cost extra to attend. One of the big things they hit on across the whole facility and shows are the harmful effects of toxic (specifically lead) ammunition. I have been hunting my whole life, and never heard of these harmful affects lead ammo has on birds before. They did a great job explaining it, and have convinced me to use non-toxic lead free ammunition whenever I’m hunting large game, or along waterways from now on, even though the ammo costs more. All around fantastic, fun, and educational experience that I’d recommend to everyone. 💯 🦅

This raptor rehabilitation and care center is undergoing a makeover, so we visited the old site: you can purchase a ticket to be in a room with a selected raptor, which for us was a red-tailed hawk that flew around the room while the expert talked. Outside was someone holding a Swinson's Hawk, and you can get up close (sans touching, of course). They also had a huge Harpy Eagle. Outside there are some trails leading to views and more information. No dogs allowed (no surprise) so we left ours in the car, windows cracked. Just be careful: it was a relatively cool day but there is zero shade in the parking lot, so we checked on them often.

Omg you have got to go see. These birds are amazing. The stories behind thier lives an how they are saved is wonderful. So far off the beaten path, it's obvious allot of people don't visit, but it's an awesome place to take your kids. You get to meet Bob, an Griffin, an who wouldn't want to meet a Harpie eagle? Wickedly beautiful rare eagle. An yes the birds your see on the high telephone poles in Idaho or on the highway- are the red tail hawk, an falcons. Let alone get to see a real living an breathing personable bald eagle. Just feet from you. Expansive construction work being done to help the fund help more birds. This place is awesome a must see. Donate of you can!!! Truly they are all about the birds ( raptors)!!!!. It all helps these endangered bird species that many of us don't even know they are endangered. All volunteers!!!& awesome high school volunteers made this a wonderful experience... Thanks guys. My daughter now knows what she wants to do- be an ornithologist an study veterinary science with raptors.
