Wow I had the chance to experience one of zac's falconary sessions at centre Parcs and it was just amazing.

Zac was very good at explaining everything you would want to know about his wonderful birds. Me and my husband enjoyed every minute and will be looking out for one if these events again.

Highly recommended

What an amazing day, the guys were brilliant with the visitors, we didn’t feel rushed, they are so knowledgable about the owls and birds, plenty of opportunity to hold the birds very literally hands on (under) would highly recommend to all age groups . Fantastic day!! � �

We saw Zac and his birds at Centre Parcs. It was a fantastic experience, so much better than expected. Zac was knowledgable, fun and passionate about all his magnificent birds. The birds were breathtaking. A wonderful way to spend time on your holidays.

We have just been to an owl display at Center Parcs presented by Zak and I have to say it was a thoroughly enjoyable hour. If you get the chance to go, go! It's well worth it, thanks again.

User

We had the falconry experience with Zac today at centre parcs and it was amazing. He was so chilled and made sure everyone got the pictures they wanted. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience these birds up close.

User

We had falconry experiences at our wedding and they made the whole day so much more special, from the eagle greeting people to the owl delivering the rings they were absolutely brilliant! Could not recommend them highly enough

User

We had a lovely "Meet the Baby Owls" session at Centre Parcs Sherwood Forest. Very informative and my 4 yr old was very engaged in the activity. The handler (Dean?) was humerus and full of nice little facts about the owls. The owls were obviously well cared for and were extremely placid in nature. We are looking forward to coming again soon. Thanks so much!

We booked this for our granddaughter at Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest last weekend and what a delight this turned out to be. Zac said as this was the last experience of the day he would let the adults join in. It was great to see these beautiful birds up close and made more enjoyable by Zac himself as he is very knowledgeable and a lot of fun .

User

We attended a falconry experience with Zac last Thursday whilst on our honeymoon at Center Parcs and it was absolutely fantastic! He was exceptionally knowledgable and personable, and the birds he brought with him were amazing. It really was an experience to remember, and we hope to visit at Rosliston in the near future x

Myself and my husband took part in one of the experiences today (02/08/18) at Center Parcs in Sherwood Forest and we were not disappointed!! Zac was super knowledgeable and even though he was feeling under the weather still had boundless amounts of enthusiasm and energy. It was so refreshing to see someone so passionate about their job and so caring to the beautiful animals that they handled. This has been one of the best things we've done this holiday! It's even got my husband interested in falconcry! Many thanks again, keep up the good work! - Mr and Mrs Amis

My family and I love this beautiful site and its rustic looking play area, Den building and crazy golf plus wild areas with play equipment for the children. The cafe is superb serving hot and cold food and they hold many events.



Last Wednesday, however, I was blown away by the informative, fun & interesting evening with owls which was shared with around 30 other guests.

This was a present from my sister and family for my birthday and it really was a treat.



I learned so much from the father & daughter team (I'm so sorry I didn't catch your names but please accept my thanks for all your hard work that evening)



The best thing was the whole experience was very interactive and we all had "hands on" time when our inexperienced hands were allowed to fly the owls to the glove.



A note to the cold blooded do wear warm clothes and obviously take a flask of tea as the lovely cafe is closed .!!



Huge thanks for a truly super evening!!!

I can't wait to bring my son and his best friend...

Just attended Junior falconry at Center Parcs! Excellent display with lots of great information. Loved flying the birds and seeing Oscar the eagle. Thanks so much to Zach for a fun hour!! From Niamh (age 11) from Scotland! (And mum too!) �

I took two of my daughters to an Owl Encounter yesterday with Zac and it was amazing. I learnt so much and my girls absolutely loved it. To see the owls up close and to have the experience of them flying between us was brilliant. Thank you.

User

I recently had the joy to experience their expertise at Center Parcs. I loved it. Would recommend to all. It was so informative, they're very skilled and the birds are real characters. I would do this again, it really made me respect these birds and the skills of the falconers.

User

I participated in the Sherwood Forest Centre Parcs Falconry experience today and it was absolutely fantastic, it's been a life long dream for me to try something like this and I loved it.

Zac was very entertaining as host and has a wealth of knowledge and clearly an incredible passion for his birds.

I will definitely be trying this again.

Thank you so much for such an amazing experience

I bought a Groupon experience for my boyfriend and myself as a birthday gift & we finally went yesterday. What an amazing experience! Firstly we were treated to Dault's (awful! 😝) jokes but wonderful introduction to the spectacularly stunning owls at the Centre. I have to say that my favourite was undoubtedly Sam, who gives little kisses and nuzzles with his beak. The Little Owl was too cute for words and then there was Gomez, Richard's pride and joy but who bizarrely looks like he's wearing a Halloween mask... Eerie! (Sorry! 😜) This first part was held indoors which was wonderfully warm and everyone had a turn to meet the birds, fly them across the room and stroke them. The group was large but we'll managed and Dault was charming.



The second half was semi-outdoors and despite several layers it was UTTERLY freezing. My only suggestion here would be you DESPERATELY need a heater especially as we were out there so long! This second half was led by Richard who was quite the character. He is clearly passionate about his work and this shines through. His love for the birds is very evident and he was particularly good with a young lad who was clearly quite shy and a little intimidated by some of the larger birds. He handled introducing this young lad to them extremely well. I never expected to meet a Kookaburra and it was a particularly special experience for me.



Both gentleman were kind, gentle and charming and their knowledge came through with fabulous little nuggets of information. I found the etymology of so many terms fascinating and hadn't realised so much originated from Falconry!



Thank you for an enlightening, enjoyable (if freezing!), educational and fascinating experience. I'd recommend it to anyone thinking of doing an experience.

Had a Falconary experience at Centre Parcs Sherwood, we both really enjoyed it, was great seeing their happy and well cared for birds, and the handler Zak was great, friendly and knowledgable. Will definitely be visiting the main center soon.

Excellent day handling various owls and hawks with a display from a golden eagle and falcon to finish the day. Extremely knowledgeable staff.

User

Epic. Me and the Mrs had a one to one (as no one else turned up) luckily, with Zack at Centre Parcs last week and we loved it. Never had an experience with birds of prey before, something I’ve wanted to do for a while and was not disappointed! Ended up buying 3 books about Eagles, falcons and owls a few days after� From a kookaburra to a golden eagle, highlight of the holiday! Would love to come and see you guys and birds again ASAP! Brilliant
