California Raptor Center

This place is really neat, will take around 30-45 minutes to walk around and meet the raptors. It is free, but there are donation boxes if you have any spare change on you. You'll find other critters around like squirrels and lizards, too.

Talk about things you never knew existed. The California raptor center is a great place to see these magnificent birds. The huge bonus... IT'S FREE, it's educational AND DID I SAY ITS FREE. 4/16 return update: the day was so nice the brought out Jack the falcon seen in the last 3 pix and the video at the end.

Once upon a time, you can tell they had a larger budget for the birds and the visitors. The only bathroom had no running water. The museum was closed, There are some beautiful raptors to see. I understand that they focus on helping injured and sick raptors which is wonderful. Just plan it as a short self guided side trip.

Had a great time with my 3rd grade daughter learning about the birds and meeting some of the staff and volunteers. We even were able to watch Forrest the great horned owl be fed.

What an amazing place! The staff were super friendly and took time to answer any questions we had and also give a general overview of the mission of the Raptor center and what their daily activities entail. The owls, vultures, hawks, etc. were really something special. You probably have seen them before, but I think it is something special to see them so incredibly close. It appears all the birds here are in one way or another unfit for the wild, such as birth defects in wing structures, blindness, or improper training from birth which they allegedly cannot recover. As such, it is a pretty feel-good experience to come and visit, and know the birds would otherwise die in the wild.

most of the place is outside, but there's a small museum building further in where you can look at taxidermy, posters, small exhibits, owl pellets, and even buy merch. each enclosure has information on the species of bird and the specific birds themselves. I enjoyed reading their stories. the whole experience is an independent thing, there's no guide or instruction other than signs. overall it was cool to see :)
