The programs also typically include a flying demonstration, allowing students to observe flight behaviors first-hand.

On-site Visits: On-site programs may be scheduled Tuesday - Friday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. During the program, students will see birds of prey from all over the world as the education staff uses inquiry methods to provide students with an interactive educational experience. The students are then brought to the Center's flying field for a flight demonstration with live raptors in which the students will observe flight behaviors of a variety of birds of prey, including owls, hawks, falcons and eagles.

While the center itself doesn't offer food services, nearby Awendaw and Mt. Pleasant have a variety of restaurants offering healthy and family-friendly dining options.
