This is not a free event however I don't look at the entry fee as an 'entry fee' it is actually a 100% donation to the Audubon Society, which takes amazing care of all these magnificent animals. I'm not sure if it is tax deductible...but I know that Raptor Weekend raises much of the needed funds to feed and care for their sweet animals that they rehabilitate from the wild. Amen!

If you cannot pay, the Audubon needs volunteers and I'm sure free tickets are part of the volunteer arrangement.

Last year Jack was able to take this 'selfie' with a friendly barn owl!

Have a great time! We wont be there this year, but we sure had fun last year! Our kids learned so much!
