Wildlife Center of Virginia

Description Founded in 1982, the Wildlife Center of Virginia is an internationally recognized teaching hospital for wildlife medicine and clinical research. Since its founding, the Center has treated more than 100,000 wild animal patients representing more than 200 species native to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The lessons learned from these wild animal patients have produced advances in veterinary science, improvements in conservation policy, and increased public understanding of better ways to share the world with our wild neighbors.

Group Tour
Learn about the inner workings of a wildlife hospital, meet several education ambassadors, and take a tour of the facility. We will start by talking about the Wildlife Center’s work for about 5-10 minutes. Next, our group will visit the outdoor education animal area consisting of various birds of prey, including hawks, falcons, owls, and an eagle.
Notes: per the Wildlife Center: *Tours are not suitable for children under the age of five. The Center is a working wildlife hospital, and loud noises are very stressful for patients and resident ambassadors. *Approximately 35-45 minutes of a tour is spent outdoors on uneven, non-paved, sloped terrain. Guests with mobility limitations or those who are unable to stand for long periods of time may have difficulty accessing the outdoor portion of a tour. Parking is limited, so carpooling is encouraged when possible. Attendees may park to the left as you enter the parking lot, or on the bottom of the loop to the right as you enter the lot. Please do not park at the front of the building without permission from WCV staff.
