Owl Handling Classes

Learn How to Hold & Interact with Owls!

Come and learn about all of the owls of Animal Adventures and even learn how to hold one. You will learn about our Eurasian Eagle Owls, Great Horned, Barred Owls and now our Spectacled Owl Mothra! Holding will be done with Petra the Eagle Owl, or Mothra! These classes are very limited on space, and spots are first come, first serve. The Owl Handling Class experience is about 1.5 hours long.

Looking for an awesome owl experience, but short on time? Try our Owl Connection Class instead! This is the shortened version of our popular owl class and is about 30 minutes long.

Due to safety reasons, we cannot allow any unaccompanied minors. All people under 18 must have a paid parent/guardian with them. 

Please Note: Owl and Fox classes typically run Fall through Spring. Dates will be released in late August. Please check back then or sign up for our email list in the footer of this page. Thanks!
