Fabulous place with the nicest people working g there. Great day out for my 6.5 year old grandaughter. We had a great day. The animals are so well cared for. The show was amazing and so informative stuff an old girl like me never knew. The guy hosting the show was so engaging and the helpers that get the birds flying around were great too. Will be back for sure. I hope this place never closes but funding must be hard. Do get there you will not be disappointed and happy 30th Eagle Heights

Seven of us met up for a surprise 50th birthday treat. It perfectly fitted the bill for a friend who loves afternoon tea and birds! We watched both bird displays as they were different. It was amazing, real up-close and personal. Even the huge Sea Eagle sweeps low enough across the audience to ruffle your hair. Interesting and entertaining staff impart their knowledge. Lots of other animal experiences available. The tea was well presented and filling. We took home doggie-bags full of treats. A bit strange that they discourage booking in odd numbers, but they were willing to accommodate us. In the end, we paid for 8 people. Anything to help this fab nonprofit organisation! It's less than 1 hour from Victoria by train and you can pre-book a cab from Eynsford station. Lots to see and do in the area. I'd definitely go again. Our birthday girl had a fabulous time!! Thanks, Eagle Heights.

Just had a wonderful day out at Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation and I now have a massive smile on my face 😊 Huskies, Rabbits, Alpacas, Eagles, Vultures, Owls, Cervals, Tortoises, Goats, Pigs. Lots to see and do. Great for families and birthday too! I also enjoyed a very close encounter with Cinnamon, Minnie and Scraggy (the Meerkats!). My goodness!!! They were soooo cute I decided to sponsor the adorable Scraggy 🥰 I was very impressed with the cafe also. Gluten free options available and I thought it was all organised really well. Thanks to ALL of the staff for making our visit so wonderful. Special thanks to the reception staff (and Brad) and also to Ruby for showing us into the Meerkat enclosure. We had so much fun and look forward to visiting again in the near future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such an incredible time at Eagle Heights for the Husky Hike! The dogs are absolutely beautiful and so clearly well looked after—it was a joy to spend time with them. My family and I loved every minute of the experience. The volunteers were fantastic—so passionate, friendly, and full of interesting information. A special mention to Amber, who really stood out and made the visit even more memorable. The café is also very reasonably priced, and the lady working there was so kind and welcoming. The bird show was another highlight—truly amazing! The presenter gave such an engaging and informative performance, and it was fascinating to see the birds up close. Overall, a brilliant day out and something I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience!
