Tours & School Visits
There are classrooms, and then there's this.
A Wingspan school visit puts students face to face with New Zealand's most extraordinary birds of prey - the kārearea falcon, the ruru morepork, the swamp harrier - guided by the country's leading raptor experts. It's hands-on, curriculum-linked, and genuinely unforgettable.
Why Bring Your Class to Wingspan?
Wingspan is New Zealand's largest dedicated bird of prey centre and the country's leading raptor conservation organisation. A visit here isn't just a fun day out, it's a living classroom. Students come away with a genuine understanding of native species, conservation challenges, and the science behind protecting New Zealand's natural heritage.
