We, like many people, visited using a Groupon voucher. We were lucky with the weather as this is an outdoor attraction as you would expect. This is a place that has refreshingly stayed true to it's cause without becoming overly commercialised. We saw 3 flight demonstrations. The birds were wonderful but the hilarious commentary by staff, and particularly Jemima, really... More

We enjoyed a sunny day at ICBP in May 13. The centre, which is quite huge, is well laid out with lots of cages, aviaries and a large flying area. On entering, there is a walk [Hawk Walk] where the birds are out of their cages, only trouble is that the cages have their species and not the stands where... More

We visited the centre today using a Groupon voucher. From the outside the centre does not look like anything special, but when you get into the grounds there is so much to see. It is nice to see that most of the birds are individually housed. It is nice to also see that the birds spend some of their time... More

We purchased a Groupon deal for the centre. I have never heard of this place before and we were pleasantly surprised when we got there. I was staggered at the amount of birds on display and each and every one was absolutely stunning, Im sure most of them actually pose for the camera. The staff were excellent, very knowledgeable and... More

Well worth a trip if you are in the area, we took a picnic with us and watched two displays. We found it very good value for money.

Was a lovely place and thought the displays were brilliant. The amount of birds there to look at was great with a wide variety both in cages and free on the grass. The displays were informative and fun. The handlers doing the displays were also friendly and pleased to answer any questions and give you time to take photos. The... More

Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased you enjoyed the flying demonstrations, photographic opportunities and knowledge of the staff. Regarding your comments about the dogs, there is a notice before you enter the centre to let visitors know that the owners labradors are on the premises. The Centre is their home and they are a laid back bunch... More

Reasonable value for money, home made cakes. The only down side (which did not bother me) was the fact that you share your cake with several black Labradors which were adorable but not everyone likes animals in where food is served.

Attended Bank Holiday Sunday 5th May 2013 - John and Holly could not have been better teachers on how to handle, and experience the flying of the birds. Even though it was only a half day experience I did not feel rushed, they gave us plenty of time to handle the birds and ask questions. As there was a show... More
