The CRC is open for self-guided tours during visiting hours. Our non-releasable raptors are on the tour route, with informative placards describing each bird and its personal story. The Museum is also open for self-guided tour visitors.

There is no charge for parking, and admission is free for self-guided tours.

Please keep self-guided tour groups to 6 people or fewer to minimize stress to the birds. If you would like to schedule an on-site presentation and/or have a group larger than 6 please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
