About the National Eagle Center
Connecting people with eagles in nature, history, and culture.
As the world’s premier resource for impactful eagle education and experiences, guests visiting the National Eagle Center embark on an unforgettable experience, meet live eagles up close, and explore the connections eagles have to human history and cultures. Located on the banks of the Mississippi River in Wabasha, Minnesota, visitors can observe wild Bald Eagles year round with the possibility of seeing hundreds of Bald Eagles in the wild during the winter. Golden Eagles winter in the surrounding bluffs and guests can take part in small group field trips experiences to go look for them.
The Center is committed to:
Educating guests about the ecology, biology and natural history of eagles.
Honoring the symbol and significance of eagles in American history and cultures around the world.
Inspiring and supporting environmental conservation and sustainability.
