Three Hour Birds of Prey Experience for One – Special Offer
Bernie · 08-10-2024

Great Morning

We had the bird of prey experience given to us for a birthday present. We had a great morning and the falconer was extremely knowledgeable. He kept us enthralled the whole time and we learned a lot about birds of prey. We got to handle them afterwards and we all had a go at flying them. Wonderful experience. One word of warning. There’s no seating so it was a bit hard on the legs having to stand for 3 hours. Bring a fold up chair if you can. It was a bit chilly standing in the field, so wear plenty of warm clothing. Highly recommended

Bird of Prey Experience

We had a fantastic time at SMJ Falconry. The birds are really well cared for. The staff took time saying a little about each species and told us the name and personality of each of the birds we were introduced to. We were then taken out where one of the members of staff showed us how to fly the birds. It was well explained. The countryside out there is beautiful and the birds were magnificent.

Amazing

My 13-year-old and I had an amazing time on the meerkat experience. We went into three different enclosures where the meerkats climbed on us, sat on us and we got to feed them. We were really lucky as in the last enclosure there were three babies (6 wks) who also climbed on us and wanted lots of snuggles. Our guide was Charlotte who was fab and very knowledgeable. The actual zoo is great too with lots of different animals to see and some to handfeed as well. Definitely recommend this experience gift, and Hoo Zoo

A wonderful experience for a gift

I attended the Falconry experience at Stratford Park Hotel , what a wonderful three hours. The Falconer was so knowledgeable, had endless amusing anecdotes and information and connected so well with the participants. The birds were so beautiful and to be able to get close to them and take part in the feeding of them was a joy . I thoroughly recommend the experience.
