What lies beyond the owl cave? Explore our countryside education centre for an unforgettable bird of prey experience.

Nestled in the heart of Krakow, the Owl Cave is a beloved destination for nature enthusiasts and families alike. But there's so much more to discover beyond the cave. Just a one-hour drive from Krakow, our picturesque countryside education centre awaits. Here, bird lovers of all ages can dive into a memorable experience with owls and other birds of prey.

A Scenic Drive to Nature's Sanctuary

The journey to our countryside education centre enhances the experience itself. Visitors travelling from Krakow are treated to stunning landscapes, charming villages, and historical castles that punctuate the horizon. This drive prepares you for the natural wonders that lie ahead.

Whether you’re traveling with family or friends, the route through lush forests and rolling hills sets a beautiful backdrop for a day filled with adventure. For example, you might spot a quaint town like Nowy Wiśnicz, which is famous for its historic castle and picturesque views, making the drive as enjoyable as the destination.

Experience Birds in Their Natural Habitat

At our education centre, families have the chance to observe birds of prey in their natural environments. Here, visitors can witness the majestic flight of larger owls, feed the emus, and see other birds as they soar freely across expansive natural settings.

This experience goes beyond simple observation. It’s about connecting with nature and understanding the significance of these incredible species. For instance, families can learn about the habits of the European Eagle Owl, which has a wingspan of up to 6 feet, and their important roles in the ecosystem. Through engaging demonstrations, you can see these birds' flying among the trees and learn about ongoing conservation efforts to protect them.

Meet the Birds Up Close

One of the highlights at our countryside education centre is the opportunity to meet some of the larger birds, such as the Eagle Owls and Great Grey Owl. These majestic creatures leave visitors in awe with their impressive wingspans and unique features.

Picture this: an eye-level view of a Great Grey Owl perched gracefully on a branch, its sharp gaze capturing the essence of wisdom. This personal encounter fosters lasting memories and deepens your appreciation for these extraordinary birds. Our visitors rave about the thrill of holding a hawk on their gloved arm and flying it from tree to tree as we take a small woodland walk, or watching an owl blink slowly at them, reminding them of the beauty of wildlife.

Fly with the Birds

For those seeking a hands-on experience, our countryside education centre offers exciting sessions where you can fly birds of prey. Imagine releasing a Harris Hawk or an Eagle Owl into the open sky and watching it glide effortlessly as it follows your cues.

This interactive experience bridges the gap between humans and wildlife, promoting a better understanding of birds’ capabilities and instincts. For instance, our sessions have revealed how falcons, known for their powerful flight, can reach the fastest speeds of any living animal during a dive. This fosters a sense of responsibility about wildlife conservation and the need to protect their natural habitats.

Family-Friendly Activities

While the bird experiences are the main attraction, the countryside education centre is packed with activities for visitors of all ages. Families can participate in guided nature walks, educational workshops, and interactive exhibitions that go deeper into the world of birds of prey.

Children will love engaging in fun games and learning stations.

Parents can relax knowing their children are not just entertained but also gaining valuable knowledge about wildlife and conservation.
