Audubon Center for Birds of Prey - Maitland, Florida

Très peu d’oiseaux et les cages sont sombres, il est impossible de prendre des photos, les oiseaux ne sont pas sortis

This place was awesome. Great place for the birds full of love. As a homeschooling mom I found this a great place to take my daughter but still keep an educational fun structure. Loved it, will be again!

This place was absolutely awesome! We can't even express how great of a time we had over the weekend. It's neatly tucked away on the boarder of Eatonville and Maitland. There's free parking across the street and the place looks more like an old pre-k school or small library, than a bird rehab, sanctuary, educational and exhibit center.

There were so many beautiful raptors and other birds at this wonderful place. Two of the young ladies who work there were gracious enough to put together an impromptu private meet and greet with one of their resident Great Horned Owls, named Henry! It was literally on my lady's bucket list so she was truly swept with emotions! What a truly life changing experience. Although small in size, this place is truly wonderful. Please go support!

This place was really neat and we learned a lot. We also got to see 7 baby owls when we went. SO cute. The staff were all very knowledgeable and friendly. Shout out to Daisy for the meet and greet with the raptors. Thank you for making our visit so special. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for something to do. You can also pack a lunch and eat at the gazebo.

Very cool facility with some awesome birds! Everyone working there was super friendly and happy to tell us about the birds and show us around. The help they provide for these birds is great. They truly care, and it shows! Definitely check them out!

I'm giving this place just three stars for a couple reasons. Entry to this place should be free. However the cost is $10 for adults. It's a very small facility. So small, you can walk through seeing all the birds within 10 to 15 minutes. Their site online suggests an hour or so. This is not the case at all. While it is an interesting place to see birds and learn about them and their rescue program, again, I don't believe it is worth the $10 charge per adult person to visit. Certainly this place receives grants to help cover operating costs. Not sure if staff is paid or volunteer. I do not recommend due to cost and limited attractions equaling to a 10 or 15min visit. Staff was friendly and birds look cared for so I gave stars for this. They are advertising on Groupon for discounted tickets. I paid $6. Still wasn't worth any fee in my opinion.

Really nice place for its size. I'm glad they have this center for the birds of prey. They have great informational plaques! I really enjoyed it. I love birds! They also have a great gazebo out over a pond perfect for taking a lunch. There was also a guide who walked around and asked if we had any questions, but don't really expect like a guided tour so much. The lady who gave us our tickets was the most informative about the facility and its processes. (For example they won't release birds until they know how to catch mice, which they raise themselves.)
Bonus that they have a reusable bottle filtered water dispenser!

Get an up close look at birds. Having live animals provide a unique visit every time. Trainers are very helpful and willing to share information.
