Trabolgan Birds of Prey Educational Centre
Trabolgan Birds of Prey Educational Centre is located up on the golf course within the grounds of Trabolgan Holiday Village in East Cork. The centre houses birds of prey from around the world and offers the chance to learn about birds of prey and raises awareness of indigenous species and the environmental issues they face. We’re open daily from late March to early November.
On your visit you’ll see falcons, hawks and owls – including the world’s largest type of owl and some of the smallest. Visitors return year after year to chart the progress of our regular birds as well as meeting the many guest birds of prey we care for from time to time. For a truly memorable souvenir of your time at Trabolgan, pose for photographs holding an owl in our photographic studio. We have birds of all sizes available.
Day Visitors to Trabolgan Holiday Village can choose us as their free activity, or as an add-on activity if they plan to do other things whilst on park, such as swimming, golf or adventure sports. Pre-booking is essential for entry to the site, please see Trabolgan’s Day Visitor booking portal for availability.
If you decide to call in to us while you’re on park, you can always pay directly at the Bird of Prey Centre, no booking is required. Entry is just €5 per person, and again 1 and 2 year olds are free!
