Reviews of Kent Owl Academy

P. G.

Absolutely amazing! The experience was unforgettable, loved flying the owls and meeting all the animals. My niece was brought around by Molly and Sabian; they were both incredible with the birds and reptiles and their knowledge with all of the animals made it seem even more of a personal encounter. All of the volunteers are so lovely, definitely recommend for all ages.

Had the owl and meerkat experience which was brilliant thanks to a warm welcome from Charlotte and excellent session with Molly who was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Molly's enthusiasm and care for all creatures is impressive and we would definitely recommend this experience 👌 we were in quiet woodland behind the owlery

We booked a Children's Experience for our 9 year old daughter and it was incredible! Volunteer Summer took the time to show us 5 owls, which our daughter held, stroked (when appropriate) and flew. Summer was amazing, obviously very passionate about owls and very knowledgeable. A great day out and wonderful memories created. Highly recommend!

This was amazing! We purchased the owl and meerkat experience and could not be happier. We had a private tour where we learned a lot about the owls, asked all kinds of questions, all while holding the birds and even got to fly one of them! I was surprised by the societal structure of meerkats and loved seeing them close. They even climbed on my partner's shoulder! Charlotte and Jack were very professional, knowledgeable and kind. I could not be happier. It's a really great day out in a beautiful location and everyone will have an amazing time.

My 8 year old daughter had an owl experience with Charlotte, it was really informative and interesting. She held the owls and stroked them. Then my daughter flew an owl which she said was magical, and she can't wait to go again

Absolutely brilliant experience! I wanted to get my girlfriend something to do with owls and I couldn't have got a better deal. Everyone was very knowledgeable and friendly and we got tons of fun facts and stories about owls as well as meeting some face to face. The best bit was having an owl fly onto my arm! 5 star because I was allowed to take as many photos as I could to get the best shots

So in love with the owls at the Academy. Ted and Percy are absolutely adorable and friendly, they loved being stroked. Flying Casper the barn owl was a dream come true. Willow, our guide was extremely knowledgeable on the subject of owls and would recommend paying for the owl and meerkat experience. We were able to cuddle 2 week old meerkats, who would have ever imagined that?

What a great time. Hubby was handling the Owls..a Birthday Pressie from our Daughter. We all had a wonderful time. Charlie and Sam who were handling the Owls were so knowledgeable and friendly and answered all our questions without hesitation. Added to that we walked round afterwards..lots of other Animals to see and pet..sheep..Alpacas..Pigs..Goats.to name just a few. Fabulous place for Kids and Adults too. Nice refresher in Dottys Tea Room as well..

Had a fantastic day with my grandchild. She's 2 and had the time of her 2 year life. Be honest I did to. Set in the Kent Life museum in Lock Lane Sandling where this abundance of things to do. Will definitely go again.

I booked the Owl Experience day as a special time for my girlfriend who is very fond of them from afar. This was an awesome opportunity to get up close and personal with these lovely birds. We had a lovely time holding and flying them and a massive thank you to Emma a very knowledgeable person on the subject (and Gordon assisting) . A great day for those that love such birds.

We went for the Owl Experience and two wonderful and extremely knowledgeable volunteers (Maddy and Annie) spent a couple of hours letting us handle and fly a variety of owls and answering all our questions. They also do a lot of excellent owl conservation work, which your money from the experience helps to fund.

Yesterday I was, lucky enough to visit the Kent Owl Academy for a photoshoot. What an amazing little place this is. A fantastic team of people and some beautiful owls in a lovely location. It's so worth a visit. You might even see a meerkat or two. Treat yourself to a very pleasant afternoon out. Heres a little phone snap of Ted. Go on, visit, its great.

p. s.

Kent life is a great day out with the kid's. Lots to do.

My wife and i had a splendid afternoon at the Owl Academy. Annie the volunteer was extremely knowledgeable about the owls and put over the Encounter so well. We got to handle 5 owls and Cupid was allowed to fly to us it was so Brilliant. My wife loves owls it was so nice for her to hold and stroke the beautiful birds.. I gave 5 stars to the Academy as they put on a brilliant afternoon for us.. Well done Mollie and Annie.. Thanks again. Anthony Blake Janice Blake.🦉🦉

It’s was a great day out with friends and family got to see all of the amazing birds of prey and got to see some of them fly as well. Staff was very polite and answered any questions that I asked.

Wonderful and unique experience. Big thanks to Chris and Charlie, you two are true owl lovers. Thanks for showing us various owls and both my partner and I love owls! They are so adorable! And thanks for the academy giving the owls such a lovely home. By the way, the farm itself is nice too, it's also a museum which we enjoyed very much!

J. W.

Amazing experience. The staff were lovely. We had a relatively new young lady with us who was great. And all staff were so helpful and knowledgeable. The owls were so lovely and well looked after. All seemed very happy and eager to be out and meet us! Would definitely recommend

S. B.

I came to kent owl to do an experience to meet owls and meerkats, I never expected to come out with so much more. Everyone was so knowledgeable and kind! We got to hold and even fly an owl! Then at the end we got to go in and meet the meerkats, I never expected them to be so kind and one even jumped on my leg ☺️ And on our way out we got to meet flower, I had never seen a skunk before and definitely was a cool experience. I do recommend!! A massive thank you to the team and I will be coming again xx

I booked the Owl Encounter experience as a surprise for my girlfriend's birthday - It was much more personal than other animal experiences we have visited.. We weren't bundled with a group nor rushed with any parts of the experience. The staff are very welcoming and clearly have a lot of knowledge and care for the owls - Mollie and Maddie had so many facts and stories! Thanks Kent Owl Academy for making the day so memorable, have already recommended this place to others and we'll be back in the future :)

N. B.

Kent owl academy is phenomenal. I saw lots of birds of prey and owls and meerkats it was so life changing. And the staff were nice too.

K. R.

Was an amazing day out with friends, the staff here where all really helpful and knew a lot on the animals, they answered any questions I had and it was a really fun day.

I got treated to an owl encounter for my birthday by my other half and I COULD NOT have been happier with my experience. Not only are all of the owls stunningly beautiful but the trainer's that handle them are a dream. We met Annie who is a volunteer trainer and Molly who was the academy's handler. Annie was primarily the one showing us around, her passion for animals is unbeatable and her knowledge on the animals extensive. The love for her job and the owls she works with shone through. I want to thank her for the educational aspect that she gave both of us and for being so welcoming and attentive along the tour. I could not have asked for a better day out (even if we were battling a very wet, rainy Thursday afternoon!). If like me you have anyone who has a passion for Owls this is the place to go!

28th September We were bought an owl experience voucher for my daughter at Christmas and so booked in to come today. We were met by Dan who explained to us what would happen during the experience. Before we knew it my daughter had on a glove and was holding a tiny owl called Ted and then held another one called Percy. We then went off to see the owl that’s used for wedding ceremonies! Throughout the session Dan (and his helper Sam) were really informative, interesting and really knew his stuff. We really enjoyed our time and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone - we would go back again in a heartbeat! Thank you, from Millie (& her mum !)

S. O.

A fantastic experience with the owls and Charlotte. Wonderful learning all about them and getting really up close. Far more relaxed atmosphere to other experiences I've been on with a lovely family feel. Will definitely be going again. Thank you to everybody.

D. W.

Great to spend time with the friendly staff, handling the owls and learning more about them.

C. P.

Fantastic day out for the family. The owls are very well cared for and its agreat environment to learn while having fun. Mollie is incredibly knowledgable and has a real passion for what she is doing, it’s so refreshing to see. The shows are excellent and give you a real insight into the lives of owls. Will definitely visit again!

C. S.

Amazing experience, great value for money. We got to spend 1 hour 50 minutes with the owls, 1-1 petting and flying several birds. Friendly knowledgeable staff, would strongly recommend.
