Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation
About
Nestled in the picturesque Kent countryside, Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation invites visitors to experience a world of awe‑inspiring wildlife. As one of the UK’s original bird‑of‑prey centres, the sanctuary showcases a stunning roster of eagles, owls, meerkats, alpacas, and more. Daily flying displays captivate audiences of all ages, while hands‑on animal encounters let guests get up close with resident species. Behind the scenes, guests can explore well‑maintained enclosures and educational displays that highlight conservation efforts and the natural behaviours of each animal. The foundation’s welcoming atmosphere is family‑friendly, featuring accessible pathways, wheelchair hire, a tearoom with diverse dietary options, and a gift shop offering unique wildlife memorabilia. Activities are designed for both casual visitors and adventure seekers, with a range of scheduled experiences such as the Eagle Experience, Owl Experience, and Meerkat Playtime. During the summer months (April to September), the centre boasts extended hours and more frequent displays, making it an ideal destination for those seeking vibrant wildlife action. In the quieter winter season, the sanctuary opens Friday to Sunday, providing a tranquil setting for reflective wildlife observation. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a family planning a weekend outing, or simply someone looking to connect with the natural world, Eagle Heights offers an enriching, educational, and unforgettable visit that showcases the beauty and importance of wildlife conservation.
