Explore the amazing world of raptors eye to eye!

The World Center for Birds of Prey, located in Boise, Idaho, is the headquarters of The Peregrine Fund. The campus houses our administration building, breeding facilities for critically endangered species, the Archives of Falconry, Velma Morrison Interpretive Center, and trails through the sagebrush steppe overlooking Boise and the Owyhee Mountains. Guests stand in the shadows of California Condors as they get a glimpse into the lives of the largest breeding flock, have a taste of the traditions and passion of falconry and ornithology that saved the Peregrine Falcon, and are invited to get nose-to-beak with eagles, falcons, hawks, owls, and vultures from around the world representing over 20 current global conservation efforts. Come prepared to fall in love with raptors in both outdoor and indoor exhibits.

Guests will encounter birds of prey throughout the day in a self guided experience, engage with docents who will answer questions and introduce the birds, and are welcome to join daily presentations scheduled for 11 am, 1pm, and 3pm.
