Falconeria Locarno

Sweet-little green refuge with a great educational demonstration (about an hour; language: Italian/German), and with heart for the animals and very friendly demonstrators. Admission fee? - comparable to a cinema ticket (swiss standard). Know the difference: It‘s not a zoo, it‘s a falconry.

We love this place. The birds are impressive, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to experience some really cool birds that most of us would otherwise never see up close. We’ve been twice now and for sure we’ll be back again in the future.

A beautiful show of various birds of prey flying within inches of the audience. It was entertaining as well as educational. It is clear that the handlers/trainers love these animals very much. If you'd like to see birds of prey flying up close this is a great place for that experience. If seeing animals in captivity is something that triggers you, then you may consider not going.

This is a wonderful place with people who love their work and nature. A great show with a beautiful program. Huge thanks for the positive emotions and the love for animals!

Beautiful show. Kids really enjoyed it. Birds are flying very close, sometimes next to you. If you want to get a chance that they put a bird on you - wear a cap. And be ready to take pictures - it is just few seconds. Kids can ride a pony after the show.

The show is really cool. Like you have the Hawks and Eagles literally flying cm over your head. The food is solid but not spectacular. Still: Definitely worth it!

Amazing show. Learned a lot about the history of falconry, and enjoyed the birds from a very near distance (had one even on my head). Highly recommended half day trip! Also, the pizza in the bistro tasted fantastic and was very reasonably priced.

Second time visiting, really good. Sit on the top row in the middle to get close to the birds. Restaurant serves decent food for reasonable (Locarno) prices
