A licensed falconry school on a 40-acre ranch where you walk through oak groves flying a trained hawk to and from your glove. It's expensive and best for older kids with patience — the ranch is down a private dirt road, and the gate code arrives by email after booking.

Reading the rules online made me worried that it might be a strict and very controlled experience but it was so laid back and fun. Clint was THE MAN and made our bachelor party a blast! They were super knowledgeable on the birds and answered all our questions. They were also very clear on what to do and how to do it and gave as many opportunities as possible to work with the birds.

This was a second visit having been there a decade ago - experience was even better than my memories. Kirk was amazing - incredibly knowledgeable and engaging and funny and ehlped us learn a lot. It was a tricky day because a red-tailed hawk came into the area but Kirk did a phenomenal job of keeping his birds from getting distracted and doing what he wanted. We arranged a hawk walk and he brought along his falcon which was amazing. Incredible birds - incredible experience - highly recommend to anyone! Jamie Toronto, Canada May, 2026

What a once in a lifetime experience. Words can hardly describe the thrill of having a Harris Hawk come gliding out of the sky headed directly for you, then flying inches off the ground before popping up and landing gently on your outstretched leather gloved hand. There were eight people in out group and our guides Kirk and Corey made sure we all had numerous opportunities to experience the above.

An absolutely unforgettable experience at Sky Falconry! My husband Don and I spent the day with Kirk and his assistant Cory at Sky Falconry, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Both are incredibly knowledgeable and expert handlers — you can tell immediately that they have deep respect and passion for these magnificent birds. We had plenty of hands-on time flying hawks and falcons from our gloved arms, which was thrilling beyond words. Cory also took amazing photos throughout the experience that we’ll treasure forever. Kirk and Cory taught us about raptors in a way that was genuinely entertaining, compelling and memorable. Whether you’re a lifelong bird enthusiast or simply curious about the natural world, this is a must-do. Five stars across the board. Thank you, Kirk and Cory, for such a magical day!

My daughter and I had the best time visiting Sky Falconry. This was one of the most special moments that a mom & daughter can ask for. What a cool bonding experience. Close and personal encounter with the Falcons, and being able fly them was a very amazing experience.
