What Can I Expect

You'll have an absolute hoot on this Owl Experience in East Sussex! Be surrounded by gorgeous fluffy owls on these private visits to Knockhatch Adventure Park near Eastbourne.

The resident owls in East Sussex participate in regular outdoor shows at this adventure centre, but these 90 minute sessions are exclusive to you. You can fly solo or buy a voucher for two, three or four of you to enjoy the full handling and flying experience all together.  It's perfect for families too, with the minimum age just eight years old.

On these experiences you'll learn a lot from the dedicated owl sanctuary staff. For example, you'll learn how in winter the owls are given more food to compensate for the loss of body heat in cold weather. And if you thought all owls 'hooted' then think again. On this East Sussex experience you'll soon find out it's not quite that simple.

Tawny Owls hoot that famous 'twit twoo', whereas Barn Owls kind of shriek and hiss, whilst the Indian Eagle Owl makes a noise not unlike a small dog barking. It's all fascinating stuff and this experience gives you plenty of time to learn lots about owls.

During your exclusive 90 minutes, there will be plenty of time to meet the likes of the cute Southern White-faced Owl and a very wise-looking Great Eagle Owl with his distinctive facial markings. And not forgetting the elegant Eagle Owl who never fails to amaze with his silent flight and light weight, despite his impressive wingspan.

One great thing about these exclusive owl experiences at this East Sussex centre is that weather won't stop play. There's an indoor and a very nice outdoor arena, so the owls can fly, train and exercise whatever the weather.
