5.00This was the most amazing experience that my wife and I have ever encountered! We learned so much and getting to experience falconry firsthand feels like a once in a lifetime experience. We will definitely book this experience and do it again. Scott and Deanna were so knowledgeable and helpful throughout our whole experience. They really made this experience amazing!
Must do experience for bird lovers!

5.00What an incredible experience! The falconers at Broadmoor really know their stuff. This experience taught the history of falconry, what it takes to become a falconer in the US, and lots about the birds that make falconry possible. I fancy myself a bird nerd but I still learned so much!
Highly Advise! Just do it!

5.00Everyone was very welcoming and informative. The falconer, Dana was very informative about the birds and you can tell she cares for them very well. It lasted longer than anticipated, which is nice because I feel you really get your moneys worth. The weather was great as well.

5.00What an incredible experience! Spending time and hands on with Owls, Falcons and hawks was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, I was laughing, learning and completely inspired. The passion and knowledge shared was fantastic and the photos and videos they captured were absolutely fantastic. I got to see an Owl's ear up close, pet the Owl and Maverick actually caught a vole on his own and I got to feel his crop after he ate it. This is one of those rare moments that stays with you long after it's over.
Great experience!

Birds of Prey 2 Thumbs Up

5.00This was a wonderful experience to see birds of prey up close. Luckily, the weather was very nice for the outdoor portion. The indoor classroom was nice and even though a small space, it was well kept. A little expensive, but probably due to its association to the Broadmoor name.
