Info
Eagles have captured human imagination for centuries. Admired for their grace, beauty, and strength, they have held our awe and played an important part in the history of our world. Of course no visit is complete without meeting our Bald Eagle ambassador, Gryphon!
In addition to one of the most diverse eagle education teams in the country you’ll also meet hawks, owls, falcons, wild cats, reptiles and more. Make sure you duck at the flying bird show, “Celebration of Eagles” as you get closer than ever to raptors from around the world! With activities for all ages, including animal encounters, crafts & games, Hawk Creek is THE place to experience the WILD and celebrate global eagle conservation!

Frequently asked questions
We offer free parking to all our visitors, located in our parking lot.
A camera, definitely. There are innumerable opportunities for photography and we strongly encourage taking advantage of them—photographs are one of the best ways to learn from and appreciate nature without taking from it. Flashes are acceptable (they don’t bother the animals) though exhibits generally take place outdoors.
Delicious food will be available for purchase from O’Brien’s Farm Fresh Kitchen & Smokehouse food truck from 11am to 2pm! There will also be beverages and ice cream available at our Watering Hole. Don’t forget your re-usable water bottle!
Unfortunately, handicapped access is limited. We try to keep as natural an environment as possible, so much of the center contains gravel walkways and there is no paved ground; everything outside takes place on gravel and wood chips.
Dress for the weather. In sun, a hat and sunglasses are a good idea; in rain, ponchos or umbrellas are almost a necessity. Hawk Creek is an outdoor facility (there is one indoor-accessible building) and the only cover from rain or sun is provided by trees, shelters, tents, and the occasional standing umbrella. In more inclement weather, expect these spots to be crowded.
For the safety of our animals and your friends, we can not allow pets inside the Center. We ask that you keep them at home during your visit to Hawk Creek.
Service animals are permitted only in certain areas. If you have a service animal with you, please check in with a member of staff on arrival so we can ensure you get the most out of your experience!
