Great experience! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Their passion for conservation is evident. The park and facilities is well maintained. The canopy walk is what brough us to visit. It was well worth it! The view and ability to be in the tree tops was spectacular!

Awesome experience getting to see such a large variety of different birds. The tree-top walk was very fun as well as the view from the observation deck. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to walk all of the trails but we would definately go again.

I learned about this place from a AAA magazine a few years ago. It was on my list of places to visit. You can order tickets online. The raptor exhibits where you can view birds that are being rehabilitated was interesting. I've never seen or heard an eagle 🦅 actually call out before. Owls, falcons and buzzards are there as well. There are two live shows at 11 & 2. There is a dinosaur 🦖 exhibit. I'm not a believer that dinosaurs evolved into birds, but, I did appreciate the effort that was put into this exhibit. I walked all of the trails. There is a trail near the entrance that takes you through a field. Only one trail is handicapped ♿ accessible. The majority are easy to moderate, but, the ground has quite a few (I am Groot) roots and slopes. I would recommend a rugged stroller for the trails. Nice view of the river and you can hear a waterfall off in the distance. You have to go to a different park 🏞️ to see the waterfall. The main attraction is the elevated trail where you walk high up in the air amongst the trees on platforms! It is wheelchair accessible except for a tower that takes you even higher for incredible views! There are a few outlooks set up and one has a spider's web 🕸️ made of rope that you can actually climb and lay down on with the forest floor far below 👇 you. There are metal sculptures on this trail as well. The only wild bird I saw that wasn't part of the center I saw was a black woodpecker. Gift shop available. Only food for sale is prepackaged 🍦 ice-cream and cold drinks. Picnic tables if you want to bring lunch. Staff was friendly. There is a playground for the kids. I enjoyed myself and I recommend a visit! Bring binoculars, bug 🐛 repellent and water. Regular shoes 👟 will do unless you want to walk all of the trails. You may want to bring lunch as well if you arrive when they open.

This is not a really big nature center or a zoo etc. This has birds who are mostly no longer able to survive in the wild and are well cared for. Here you can see and learn about birds etc that you may never see in the wild. The whole place is set up very well making it easy for visitors to explore without feeling cramped by others. There’s also a elevated walkway that overlooks some woods. Here you have a chance to see local animals and birds. We had a really good time and you’re helping support their efforts. A+

Yes, they DEFINITELY DO TAKE all birds! I took a wren there and they helped it. ☺😍
You will have to call ahead of time and make sure that can be arranged
Hi Nicole. Normally, yes, however our admittance of injured/orphaned birds has been changed due to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (updated as of 5/9/22). Pelase see our website for updates: https://vinsweb.org/wild-bird-rehab/
I'm pretty sure you are describing a wild turkey hen. They still have their young with them this time of year, at least in West Virginia. Do an image search on "wild turkey hen", but I am fairly certain you gave an excellent description of one! I have seen them with 4-11 young, out in the wild.
Absolutely. Elmwood is the name of the bald eagle. She is truly majestic.

Year round programs. But fall is always the best...
According to the website, I believe it is. And it looks like they have a few other things going on too.
Their history lists David Laughlin, then Sally and a few others after some time. https://vinsweb.org/about/history/
We went on a rainy day. We were offered an umbrella, which we turned down because we had raincoats. Exhibits are under cover, but as another person said, you have to walk a trail to get there.
$16.50 for adults $14.50 for kids
Yes
They do put red meat out.
I didn't know it was missing. Hopefully its alright.
I am not sure, if it's a special needs dog probably yes but a pet I'd say no. I'd call and ask.
I am not sure. We have only gone in the afternoon.
There is quite a bit of walking to see everything, but the pathways are built to be accessible if you need wheeled assistance.
