5.00Update, Original review was 4, need to update to 5. After having to pay for parking that was said to be validated, TripAdvisor came through and made it right. Talking to the hotel (The Antlers) was a lesson in frustration. Thank you TripAdvisor for making it right. Tour was wonderful, Beth was amazing, we had a great time.

5.00An excellent experience. Both Deanna the falconer and Katie the host/van driver were first rate! Friendly and knowledgeable. We were impressed by Deanna’s expertise, experience and care for the animals. Loved watching her interact with them.

5.00You don't need to search any further - just call them! They are amazing, and you will not be disappointed. We had an absolutely outstanding experience with them. The falconry demonstration was truly unforgettable. Getting to witness free flight up close was incredible and easily one of the highlights of our entire trip. The falconers were so knowledgeable and engaging. They also brought along an axe-throwing activity, which was such a fun addition and a big hit with our group. From start to finish, they were great to work with. Communication was seamless, they were flexible, and everything was executed flawlessly. I highly recommend booking with them. You won't be disappointed! Do it!!
Highly recommend!

5.00This is a once in a lifetime experience. We had a blast. Our Falconer was Deanna and boy does she know her birds. She was very friendly and we had a great morning with her and her driver Nicole. After the tour Nicole gave us some great recommendations on where to eat and some must see sites.
Once in a lifetime experience!

5.00This was the most amazing experience that my wife and I have ever encountered! We learned so much and getting to experience falconry firsthand feels like a once in a lifetime experience. We will definitely book this experience and do it again. Scott and Deanna were so knowledgeable and helpful throughout our whole experience. They really made this experience amazing!
Must do experience for bird lovers!

5.00What an incredible experience! The falconers at Broadmoor really know their stuff. This experience taught the history of falconry, what it takes to become a falconer in the US, and lots about the birds that make falconry possible. I fancy myself a bird nerd but I still learned so much!
Highly Advise! Just do it!

5.00Everyone was very welcoming and informative. The falconer, Dana was very informative about the birds and you can tell she cares for them very well. It lasted longer than anticipated, which is nice because I feel you really get your moneys worth. The weather was great as well.
