Welcome to Suffolk Owl Sanctuary
Suffolk Owl Sanctuary is open daily 10am - 4pm and offers the opportunity to meet over 70 stunning owls and fascinating birds of prey from around the world. There is a flying display at 11.30 (weather permitting), and visitors are always welcome to chat with our friendly staff all about owls, meet our mob of cheeky meerkats, fascinating Hairy Armadillos and African Crested Porcupines during special talks at 11.00, 2.00 and 3.30 daily. For youngsters, a visit provides a chance to take the S.O.S. Safari trail, with a prize for them all. Admission is with a come-&-go ticket so you can visit the interesting shops and other attractions at Stonham Barns Park and return to us throughout the day as often as you wish.
