Loved having the chance to see all the raptors and the Raven. We had a guided tour and it was FANTASTIC! Got to hear their back stories and learn about their habits, skills, personalities, and behaviors in the wild! Highly recommended! (Love the Screech Owl Arlo and Tony the Horned Owl!)

I have been at Piedmont for over 10 years now. I started off as a camper and am now a contracted educator. Some of the best memories I have growing up were made at PWC. Very knowledgeable staff, and all of the animals are well cared for. Leigh Farm Park is also a great place to walk around and enjoy nature. Highly recommend scheduling a program from here or just stopping by for a visit!

This is always one of our favorite in house trips! Piedmont Wildlife Center does a great job helping you find the appropriate trip package and is very organized. They are very knowledgeable about all of their animals and then some! They are patient to answer student questions and take time to let you get up close with the animals. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Our family had a great time on the turtle trek! We found 3 turtles, including a little adolescent. So cute!

While small, this hidden gem has a great variety of raptors! I scheduled a private tour for my partner's birthday and we had a great time meeting all of the birds. Our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable, and she showed a lot of skill in handling the red-shouldered hawk Willow outside of her enclosure. This would make a great afternoon for anyone, especially if you're already a wildlife lover. But regardless, expect to leave having learned something cool and with a new appreciation for our winged neighbors!

It's a waste of time to go there to see any animals.
