An understated entrance with a few farm paddocks, and modest farm buildings, the Wingspan National Bird of Prey Centre is a real little gem. Featuring threatened New Zealand falcons, hawks and owls – this is a unique conservation programme, nationally significant as New Zealand’s first and only bird of prey centre.Visitors to the Wingspan Centre are able to view a museum area and sneak previews into the incubation and service areas, before entering the main aviary – a landscaped, all- weather walkway. Themed with native plants and large aviaries, it is a very impressive facility of international standard.
