Capes Raptor Centre makes a concerted effort to ensure our facilities are accessible to all visitors. The Birds of Prey Forest Walk is an unsealed gravel pathway and is more suitable for all-terrain prams and wheelchairs.

Capes Raptor Centre is open rain or shine, unless the severity of the weather poses a threat to our visitors, staff or birds of prey. If we close due to a major weather event, we will post the news on our website or social media accounts.

The Bird of Prey Encounters may be adjusted according to how much rain is falling. During heavy rain or wind, visitors will be provided with the opportunity to meet one of the resident barn owls. During extreme rain or wind, the Bird of Prey Encounters will be cancelled.
