By far the best way to experience the raptors of Carolina Raptor Center is by coming to see them in their natural habitat. Our location inside Latta Nature Preserve is a perfect setting to get kids out of the classroom and up close and personal with nature. Our on-site education program offers your class or group an opportunity to see birds of prey up close, while one of our skilled educators teaches your group about these incredible birds.
