Wildlife Encounter: Birds of Prey at Lambton Heritage Museum

Grand Bend, ON – Lambton Heritage Museum invites families to enjoy a special Wildlife Encounter: Birds of Prey event on the next PA Day, Friday, April 4. In partnership with Wild Ontario, this exciting event will offer visitors the chance to see birds of prey, such as hawks and owls, up close.

Between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., visitors can meet live birds of prey and interact with their handlers to learn about the important role these birds play in Ontario's ecosystem. This educational experience is perfect for all ages and provides a unique opportunity to gain insight into these fascinating creatures.

Wild Ontario is an environmental and science education program at the University of Guelph. Since 2010, Wild Ontario has provided non-releasable birds including owls, kestrels, hawks, and vultures with a new life and purpose to educate and inspire. This is Wild Ontario’s second time visiting Lambton Heritage Museum, after offering a similar program in Fall 2022.

“Our PA Day events draw families looking for meaningful ways to spend the day together, and we’re excited to have Wild Ontario returning to Lambton Heritage Museum with their extraordinary birds of prey program,” said Colleen Inglis, Educational Program Coordinator with Lambton Heritage Museum. “Visitors will not only see these incredible birds up close but also learn how they contribute to our local environment and the vital role they play in the ecosystem.”

Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors (65+) and students, $3 for children, and children aged three and under are free. For more information, visit the event page on the Museum’s website.
