Meet LIVE Eagles!
See bald and golden eagles like never before – face to face! The National Eagle Center offers a unique viewing experience that brings visitors to within a few feet of these majestic raptors without any barrier in between. You can learn about eagles while standing right next to them. It’s an unforgettable experience unlike any other!
Two Floors of Interactive Exhibits
Learn about eagles, raptors and the Mississippi River watershed by exploring two floors of hands-on exhibits for all ages. Test yourself to see if you have eagle vision, walk into a life-size replica of a bald eagle nest, learn how to identify the native raptors in Masters of the Sky and surround yourself with the sights and sounds of the Upper Mississippi River as you Discover the Refuge!
Classroom Programs
Catch a fun and engaging classroom program with a naturalist educator! Learn about eagle behavior and habitat, their life cycle and their story of recovery. Plus, have your eagle questions answered while watching one of our eagle ambassadors eat lunch! Don’t forget your camera! Seating is limited and fills on a first come, first served basis. We recommend you plan to arrive early.
