tripadvisorCascades Raptor Center in Eugene is a total hidden gem! Nestled on a wooded hillside, it feels like a secret forest sanctuary. Their new snowy owl, Echo, is an absolute star seeing those bright yellow eyes up close is a core memory moment. The center does amazing rehab work, and the vibe is super chill and educational. It’s the perfect spot to geek out over birds and support a great cause!
MoreWe liked it! There were lots of birds and it was decently wheelchair accessible. I also liked that everything you bought in the shop went to donations to them. The volunteers were really nice and knowledgeable too. There was this one owl that was screeching and it was really cool! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something fun to do with your family and in the area.
MoreThe staff were outstanding at answering our questions and most importantly with their patient and kind interactions with the feathered residents of the center
MoreWhat a gem! Stopped in for 2 hours on a misty Sunday morning with my college-aged biology-major son. They have really informative signs up about each Raptor on display - explaining how they came to be there and what their day to day life is like, what kind of enrichment they engage in, etc. We peered through the window of the on-site medical center, and spent a few dollars in the well-appointed gift shop. We learned a lot, enjoyed seeing the different species there (Bald eagle, owls, hawks, falcons, kestrels and more), and were grateful to the folks that work and volunteer there. We didn't see any of the presentations and education they do where you might get to see one of the raptors up close - that would be great to check out too, especially for younger visitors I would imagine.
MoreWonderful facility just past the edge of town that features rescued ‘ambassadors’ of many variety. The range of birds, from small kestrels to large eagles, is really sensational. If you are lucky enough to catch the staff at ‘demonstration’, then you get insight into the training process and how intelligent these birds can be. Great spot!
