Another reason to visit.

Tayto Park has officially launched their new section – World of Raptors.

They now have twenty rare birds of prey as part of their World of Raptors exhibit at the park’s brand new arena. It’s the first of its kind in Ireland, with the team at Tayto Park investing over €750,000 on the 450 open air seating arena.

The new attraction allows visitors a very rare up, close and personal experience with these magnificent species.

Visitors to the World of Raptors will get the opportunity to see various species of eagles, owls, vultures and falcons from all over the world take part in a free-flying demonstration.

Not only will you get to feel the whizz of different birds flying past, you will also learn all about these majestic species with educational talks from the bird of prey team.

Speaking on the latest attraction at Tayto Park, the Birds of Prey team said:

“We’re very excited for the opening of World of Raptors, it’s been a very busy winter getting all the birds fit and ready for the display so it’s great the time is finally here for the opening.

Working with raptors is a very special job and we’re lucky to get to share our work with everyone that visits. We build strong relationships with the birds during training so it’s amazing getting to see them grow and express natural behaviours just as they would do in the wild.”

World of Raptors opened July 20th with falconry displays and educational talks taking place twice daily at Tayto Park.
