West Coast Falconry states the mission “WEST COAST FALCONRY Preservation through Education.” The program is led by Owner and Master Falconer, Kate Marden.

West Coast Falconry states that every interaction is filled with information about the natural history of birds of prey, their role in the environment, and conservation efforts made by falconers throughout the world, including saving the Peregrine falcon from extinction. The program notes that educational demonstrations can be tailored to suit any size and age group. Each onsite class allows students to fly and/or hold one of the raptors, and all classes require two participants except the Owl Experience or private classes, with a policy that if there are not two participants, a gift card is issued to book on a different date.
West Coast Falconry states that it is a private residence and that non-participant observers must leave the premises for the duration of the class. The program states that no pets are allowed, with no exceptions. West Coast Falconry notes that it does not give refunds but will apply credit to a gift card that can be used for future classes, and that this policy also applies to cancellations due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances; no-shows are charged the full price.
One Tripadvisor reviewer, Willa M., describes taking each of her six grandchildren individually to the basic class and reports that the three who have gone so far have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, calling it a unique opportunity to be up close with the birds. Another Tripadvisor reviewer, Kyra E., describes the experience as amazing and comments on interacting with the birds up close. A testimonial from “Happy Visitors” thanks the staff for a morning with a raptor named Diego and describes the staff as responsive, professional, and patient.
