Such an interesting and heartwarming experience. The creatures there are so obviously very well cared for. It was the highlight of our trip to this area.
Thank you for your wonderful review! Come again! Cheers, Eden
We were so surprised by how amazing this place was. What a magical time we had wandering around the 8 acres of grounds and seeing the huge array of magnificent birds and sculptural gardens. We have never been so up close to eagles, owls, and ravens before. Breathtaking! And the flying area for the eagles was wonderful to watch. You can see the eagles flying and strengthening their wings as they are recovering from injuries. Then they can be released back into the wild. And the staff and volunteers were so friendly and heartful. You can tell that they love what they do. We loved this experience and would highly recommend it to everyone! We can't wait to go back and experience it again.
Our many thanks for this incredible review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again soon! Cheers, Eden
This is a very important facility for repairing broken animals and birds. And it is also brilliant for seeing animals and, especially, many large birds up close. The animals and birds that cannot be released for various reasons are kept in as humane environments as possible. It is clearly not a zoo. You will certainly enjoy visiting.
Mark, thank you for the wonderful review. We are happy that yo enjoyed your visit and hope that you can come again. Cheers, Eden
This place is absolutely amazing. We had heard about the sanctuary and spontaneously decided to visit when on Vancouver Island - and I'm glad we did, it was such an informative and touching experience. It's admirable what staff at the sanctuary are doing in order to help injured birds and other animals - so inspiring! And at the same time visitors can learn about these animals and their behaviour and their needs.
We visited in the morning and it was rather quiet, around noon more visitors arrived.
Definitely worth a visit!
Thank you for such an amazing review! We are so happy that you enjoyed your visit here at NIWRA and hope to welcome you again in the future. Cheers, Eden
Great place to visit - the layout is good and the staff very informative and engaging.
Loved reading about what some of the animals are there and where/how they were rescued.
Thank you for such a wonderful review! We are happy that you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again soon. Cheers, Eden
There were so many fun little nuggets to find hidden among the walkways and gardens. They also pay homage to First Nations members that take care of the land and animals. I loved seeing the animals being rehabilitated and reading about how they arrived at the Centre and their recovery process.
Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm happy to hear that you had a great visit. Cheers, Eden
