Really nice visit to Huxley's mainly birds of prey centre yesterday. The centre itself is to the rear of Hillier Garden Centre in Horsham. A fairly good selection of eagles, owls, falcons and hawks etc. Were on display some out in a open walk around for excellent pictures and views of the birds. Flying displays are available at 12 or 2pm and are entertaining, and it's nice to see the birds in more of a natural habitat especially falcons swooping on a lure. Some of the averies that the birds are in are double wired, but it's still possible to take some good pictures.. All on a mid range phone.

Hidden Gem! If you’re looking for a cute little place to take family to for a couple of hours then Huxleys is the place. We were looking for something local that didn’t involve the whole day and we came across this place. Really good prices,beautiful birds and a few cheeky meerkats! Great for all ages,you can meet a bird,grab an ice cream and sit and watch the kestrels being trained and we finally found a gift shop that doesn’t cost the earth! 😁 Relaxed atmosphere and a beautiful place to visit

Enjoyable and educational couple of hours getting friendly with meerkats, getting quite close to a porcupine, admiring a great variety birds of prey and learning more about all of these animals. Due to the wet and windy weather the two owls in the flying display weren’t keen to fly but actually that made the whole thing quite funny. Really enjoyed feeding the meerkats. If you’ve got kids they will love their visit. Even our group of very long in the tooth “big kids” had an enjoyable time.

Another amazing visit today. We love going to visit all the different types of birds, seeing the flying demonstrations and chatting with the friendly staff. Today was made even more special as got to see the baby tawny owl. Highly recommend visiting.
