If it is a light rain, the flight demonstration still takes place. You must dress accordingly! If the precipitation is more intense, there is still a presentation, but adapted to the weather. The presentation is only canceled in case of thunderstorms or strong winds.

No, birds of prey do not appreciate being touched. They are solitary birds that may perceive a touch as an attack or a disturbance. This is why it is not possible to touch them. Some anatomical parts (talons, wings, feathers) are presented at our animation booth so you can touch and feel the softness of birds of prey feathers.

Chouette à voir! is a great outdoor getaway. You should therefore always bring a water bottle. Depending of the season, you must be prepared: insect repellent and sunscreen or warm boots and winter coat.

You should also dress properly depending on the weather: walking shoes or winter boots, hat/cap, sunglasses, winter coat and pants, raincoat in case of rain, etc.

In winter, bring your reusable cup for coffee or hot chocolate! You can also bring your snow sled.

Yes, you can bring your dog as long as it is always on a leash. There are beautiful trails in the forest that your four-legged friend will surely enjoy. However, there are 2 areas that are not accessible to dogs: the rehabilitation complex and presentation of  birds of prey in flight. To keep the birds calm, dogs should stay away from these two areas.

Yes, parking is free. There are 3 parking spaces available for the busiest days. You can consult the site map for more details by clicking here

Charging stations: Two Level 2 Flo charging stations are available in parking lot P3, near the interpretation center.

There is no food service, but there is a sink with drinking water to fill your water bottle (without contact). Juice, frozen treats and other snacks are sold at the visitor center. If you want, bring your lunch to have a picnic on site.
