Plan your trip

The center is only open in connection with the shows, the doors open 30 minutes before they start. Arrive early, because like at a theater, the doors close once the show begins.

We are open for exciting activities including shows, the falconer school and the eagle rush, as well as activities for schools, team building and private bookings.

Our main activity is daily shows which are held from Easter till the autumn holiday (week 42). We open for ticket sales, shop and café 30 minutes before each show. The shows start exactly at the specified time, so be there early.

The show lasts about an hour and takes place in our outdoor arena, in very bad weather we move indoors to our flight hall. We close approximately 30 minutes after each show.
We look forward to seeing you!

"Birds of prey and owls bring me joy - every single day"

Releasing the birds of prey is the ultimate experience, letting them carry themselves easily and elegantly high into the sky. Seeing them disappear into silhouettes before showing us their incredible fast and precise hunting techniques when we call them down to the arena again. This is as close as we get to nature and ultimate freedom!

Welcome to our world of amazing birds of prey. Get up close to their life and world at Falkecenter Samsø.
