Int'l Owl Center or National Eagle Center?
November 13, 2015 2:33 PM
My kids like raptors. Which would be better to visit, the International Owl Center in Houston, Minnesota or the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minnesota? Has anyone been to either or both? I realize the names are a little overblown. I'm just wondering which is better for a fun family visit. (They've been to Hawk Ridge in Duluth before and have visited the University of Minnesota's Raptor Center, so I'm looking for somewhere new. All three kids like raptors.)
I vote owl. It's easier to see eagles during a birdwatching expedition than owls.

I can't answer your question, but if you ever make it to the St. Louis area, the World Bird Sanctuary is excellent. During special events they will fly the birds right over your head ... and for a small fee, you can hold a raptor and have your picture taken with the animal. My daughter held an owl and she loved it, especially when the owl rotated his head around 180 degrees to look back at the small, skinny human.
