Audubon Center for Birds of Prey

A great budget friendly outing that helps support wildlife conservation! Very informative and friendly staff. Loved the meet and greet! Even has a nice covered dock with picnic tables on the water, and an educational center for the little ones (or just to pop in for some AC) Can’t wait to come back and see the new habitat!

An amazing local place where you can learn about local birds of prey. Very kind staff with a love for education. We really enjoyed (not only the grounds as a whole, but) the restored bungalow where the admission window is. There’s a lot to see inside with great views of birds hanging out through the windows. Our little child enjoyed the “bird rescue” play area and it was a nice way to get out of the heat. We will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Volunteer Phyllis was wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming, and answered all our questions. The birds as well as the view from the picnic pavilion on the lake are stunning. The work they do here for sick and injured birds of prey is so important and appreciated. A lovely peaceful way to spend a few hours among the birds and nature. Already planning to come back once the ospreys are back on exhibit! :)

We’ve been living here for about 4 years now and finally had a chance to visit (mid-July, before the temporary closure). Since it is a relatively small place, the experience is more intimate and you have opportunities to engage with the knowledgeable staff. The highlight was getting to see a bald eagle up close and learn so much from the long time staff member who was handling the bird. Our daughter was amazed and appreciative of this opportunity! As a warning, there were some mosquitoes around, but it’s Florida in the summer so not really surprising, just might want to be prepared. If you’re a local or just in town for a bit, I recommend this unique educational experience!

After living in Orlando for many years I finally got to visit the Audubon Center! It is a wonderful place to visit!!! Trees overhead keep it reasonable cool in the HOT Orlando sun. The staff is extremely friendly and well versed in Birds of Prey especially in Florida! Eagles, Falcons, Osprey and owls are in very large flight cages and cleaner than my house at times. If you're tired of the theme parks, the Audubon Center is definitely a bucket list item!

The babies, the crew, the venue, the experience, all of it - Absolutely incredible. We got to see and learn about a couple of birds outside of their cages, it was amazing. Highly recommend visiting and supporting this place.

I love the work this center does for the Birds of Prey. They are a great place to support. They try their best to rescue and rehab the birds. These are the ones that couldn't be released back to the wild

This the gem of maitland/ winter park! Different birds who have been injured are brought to this Center to be rehabilitated and if deemed release of all they are released. The ones that you see on display all are deemed unreleasable but live wonderful And enriched lives with Rescuers and volunteers that truly our knowledgeable and care about every single one that comes into the facility and leaves. There are even options inside of the building if you would like to make a donation for each bird to have a special and unique toy that they would like so you can feel like you're a part of helping with their rescue as well! They're always looking for passionate volunteers if anyone is ever interested this is a wonderful place to go and it's definitely family-friendly! We will be back again and also in the fall for their night time owl event!
