“It's a hoot!”

Let the staff of the International Owl Center help you unravel the mysteries of owls as you meet the Center’s feathered ambassadors up close and personal. Touch owl feathers, learn to identify owls by the sounds they make, explore children’s owl art from around the world, and take pictures of perfectly mounted specimens of nine species of owls illustrating typical owl behaviors. The Owl Center hosts the International Festival of Owls each year in early March. It’s the only full-weekend, all-owl festival in North America, and has served as the impetus to start similar festivals in Italy and Nepal. Open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM with daily programs at 11 AM, 1 PM, and 3 PM. Admission is $7 for adults, $4 for ages 4-17, and free for members and 3 and under
