What a fabulous day out. The staff were absolutely amazing - informative, inspirational, helpful. They went out of their way to make the day great. So many owls, but also lemurs, racoons, goats, meerkats. All day long they do talks and bird flights so you really get to meet the creatures even if you don't pay the extra for the experiences. Having said that, I think the experiences are so worthwhile if you can afford them as you get up close and personal with the animals as a family and the staff have so much knowledge and enthusiasm to share. The owners who are at the front desk are friendly and helpful too. You can tell they really want you to have a great day out. There is a little cafe with a variety of food and snacks. Also a childrens playground. We were there for over 3 hours. Genuinely, brilliant.

Really interesting place to visit, lovely and clean, really good talks; staff really know their stuff. You can purchase great experiences; my sister and dad had a meerkat experience and my nephew had an owl handling experience. We were there almost 4 hours and could have stayed longer. We also got £2 off each with a voucher. Good affordable food too! Highly recommend.

My husband , son and I have just spend a wonderful afternoon learning about owls. We experienced three different and beautiful owls flying at very close quarters . The display was informative and geared beautifully to adults and children . I had no idea how many different owls there are and their different sizes , traits and eating habits . After the display my son booked an individual experience which involved handling these amazing creatures and learning yet more about them . We were lucky enough to be looked after by the Education Officer at the sanctuary , a special thank you to him, who guided my blind son so sensitively through the whole experience. Thank you so much to everyone we met there for an extremely memorable day . If you love nature and especially owls , a visit not to be missed.

Lovely sanctuary with fantastic staff. We paid £14 each for what ended up being a 4-5 hour visit and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the animals and listening to the interesting talks.
Rather randomly saw a fox on a lead and a blind pheasant at one of the talks 🤓. Great to see the owls flying too!
Great place at a great price and wasn’t overcrowded in peak season either!

Went as a family expecting to be there for a max of a couple of hours and ended up staying most of the day. What an incredible place! The staff are passionate about the animals and what they’re doing and it shows.
We attended a flying show - learnt so much and got to see some of these amazing creatures flying. We also attended the British wildlife talk - and got to stroke a baby fox!
Can’t recommend this place enough if you’re an animal lover!

Amazing day yesterday. Back to back knowledgeable talks about the owls and animals. You can feed the emus and alpacas if they want to eat! At the afternoon flying display we got to hold an owl. Cafe was busy and served reasonably priced and delicious home cooked food. All the staff were fantastic and friendly. I would definitely recommend and would visit again.

What a wonderful day we have had. We also paid extra for a fox experience for my daughters 8th birthday and it was very special and worth every penny.
Member of staff Brett needs a special mention as his customer service skills were fantastic, his talks were informative and funny and he was fab with our girls during the fox experience 😀

We visited several weeks ago while on holiday in Devon, and while at the Meerkat enclosure, one of them came out carrying a baby Meerkat, even the keeper didn't know about any births until then.
I was wondering how the baby is doing?

Dogs are not allowed on site due to our zoo licensing but we do have a shaded doggy parking where you can park up and can attend to your dog as many times as you like.. Assistance dogs are allowed only.

Your visit is as long as you want it to be.
We visited it with our 9 year old grandson and we stayed around 2 hours. I spent a lot of time photographing the owls, meer cats etc. The flying display lasted nearly 50 minutes 2 Owls and Kookaburra, very entertaining. The Cafe/Tea shop is very nice and with friendly staff. There was no rush to get us to leave, we had arrangements elsewhere

How do i get to the owl sanctuary from st columb train station by public transport?
Geoff H
Surrey40 contributions
The sanctuary is about 3 miles from St Column railway station mostly along minor roads. It is difficult to see that these roads would have a through bus route on them. I can only suggest that you email the Screech Owl Sanctuary and ask them directly. Their address is given on their website under Get in Touch.
Good luck
