Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre

The Loch Lomond Bird of Prey Centre is a very worthwhile place to visit. Friendly, knowledgeable staff will help you understand more about these magnificent birds in this fully licensed zoo. The two displays that I saw were funny, informative and fascinating. I will visit again when I am next in the area.

The Birds of Prey Centre in Loch Lomond makes a fantastic morning or afternoon’s adventure. Myself and my Girlfriend were in the area for a long weekend and wanted to try it out. They are located at the Loch Lomond Sea Shore visitor centre in prime spot for everyone coming to visit, there is free on site parking available and various eateries, shops and activities available.

As we entered the Bird of Prey centre we were met at a hut where you can buy tickets: luckily for us with it being slightly out of season we got a discounted couple pass which was £10 for the both of us. Birds of Prey have so many different types of birds but I have to say the owls were definitely the cutest. We ran into a girl who was doing the daily weighing of all the birds and she was so helpful and friendly telling us all about the centre, explaining all about the different birds and how they interact with humans and become jealous when other birds get more attention than they do. Only thing they weren’t running was the live flying shows which don’t start until April when the summer season starts, so will definitely be back to enjoy that later in the year.

It was a great morning wandering around the centre brushing up our knowledge and actually being able to see them at arms length. The staff, especially the girl we spoke to were fantastic really keen in the work they do and made us all feel welcome. To finish it off they have a small gift shop with little soft toys, souvenirs and other merchandise, all the profits made go back into the centre which really made it worthwhile when I bought a small toy owl to take home… why not!

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip even though the flying shows were cancelled due to avian flu and the birds were under quarantine during our time of visit. Out of good will, we got a discount for our tickets. Stuart , the center manager gave us loads of valuable information about the birds. We watched a very interesting video on those amazing falcons too. Birds are very well looked. We enjoyed the visit very much.

They have 2 golden eagles which was very big and so majestic to watch. These guys offer bird experiences which is a plus. They also have a variety of other birds such as falcons, owls, vultures etc. Very nice place.

Lovely enjoyable visit. Shame I had to cut the American birds of prey flying display short to return to my coach. Loved the amount of information supplied in all areas and also the educational centre. The flying display was brilliant and a short safety chat was given at the start, for the safety of all concerned including the birds and the keepers.

Amazing visit. Wristbands allowed us to pop in and out all day letting us catch all the flying shows while taking in the rest of Lomond Shores and having some lunch and ice cream too.

It was great to see so many birds in flight and the shows and staff were really informative.

Fantastic bird of prey centre run by professional and friendly staff who clearly love and care for the birds. Great value as well, you can pay and return all day to see each all 3 of the flying displays. Parking is also free for Loch Lomond shores but advise to arrive early!

We would just like to start our review of by saying a massive thank you to Stewart and his team... Not forgetting the amazing feather companions for making our day so special....
Our experience of meeting these magnificent birds was out of this world but we have to say meeting orla the golden Eagle was mind blowing.... What a beautiful golden lady she is....
This has been a childhood dream of mine to be able to get up close to these magnificent birds so while we celebrated my partners birthday in Scotland we booked for the experience and loved every minute of it.....

Thank you to all of you for a perfect day that will stay with us for life.... We highly recommend that you visit this enchanting place.....
