Husband booked the Kite and Eagle experience and wow, what an experience it was!! Riley was our falconer for the afternoon and he was incredible. So very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the birds. Every interaction was breathtaking. I would go back many more times. Thank you so very much!
Absolutely fantastic day out. Got the deal through virgin experiences and had an amazing day. The lady Lisa was so informative and clearly had a huge love for all the birds. Going to book to go back
Absolutely love this place. We've been here a few times now and every time I come away with some new nugget of information I never knew about the wonderful birds they have there. All the staff clearly love what they do, and what they do is so important not just for the birds but for educating the people that visit.
Just back from an epic day at the Herring Green farm. My family and I had booked my husband an eagle experience which I would highly recommend. The falconer Erin was fantastical she took time to show us so many of the eagle and some eagle owls. My husband held and flew the massive beautiful birds and really enjoyed his experience. We had young children with us and there was lots to play on and keep them amused. All staff were very welcoming and friendly We went on a Sunday and it was very quiet which was perfect for us to look around.
On the positive side -The woman that did the display was fantastic. She really knew her stuff, she answered everyone’s questions and was entertaining. - Lots of amazing beautiful birds when we walked around in cages and used in the display. - They released lot of birds at a time to music which was really good to see so many flying at the same time. On the negative side - The receptionist was rude to all 4 of us when we arrived. She was clearly annoyed she had given us 4 stickers before our 2 other friends had arrived, like we’d deceived her for some reason ! She also denied telling us to wait in the field as the display had started elsewhere. We all very negative about the place before we’d even started. - The display group was far too big. We were in a group of 28 people so when the birds were being passed around we waited for ages before we could hold the birds. Also taking part in the displays took ages to include everyone. So became very boring which was a shame because the display was good otherwise. Overall, good quality but needs to be smaller groups 1/2 the time, and better reception.
Very fun little farm. Great for kids. Demonstrations with the birds were great and the ladies hosting were friendly and informative (including the new lady who fought the nerves away to host for the first time and did a great job). The rest of the staff we dealt with were really friendly too. Barrel rides, owl flights, lots of play equipment, petting zoo, oh and the odd dinosaur kept the kids entertained all morning. Good value for money. Will be back soon to try the tea room.
Lovely little farm/bird of prey centre. A large number of impressive birds, some farm animals, plenty of play areas for the little ones and lots of tractors and even a fire engine to play on. We had a lovely day and it was welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. We met lots of birds, a skunk and a ferret. Definitely recommend especially for toddlers and younger children.
Went here for a 3hr experience my bf bought me for Xmas. Unfortunately the day we went it was a bit drizzly and rainy so seems the experience was cut short? We didn't get to fly any birds ourselves as they state in the website and didn't get to see the larger birds of prey fly (like the kites or eagles). Did get to hold an American bald Eagle, 2 large owls and a small falcon. I loved seeing all the different birds but I'd say being a large group means you end up waiting a while for turns. Overall I loved being so close to these birds, there were lots to see from tiny cute owls to massive sea eagles!
My wife and I were given the Eagle Experience as a gift, and were finally able to take advantage of it today following all the covid restrictions. What a fantastic occasion it was, we got to hold some of the eagles , see flying demonstrations, and flew a couple of the eagles ourselves! Our host Abbie was very friendly, and very knowledgeable, and made the time that we were with her an altogether enjoyable one. A*****
