About the organizer
The Carolina Raptor Center operates the Raptor Trail inside Latta Nature Preserve, a three-quarter-mile walk past more than 30 birds of prey. Alongside daily programs, it runs seasonal family days, story times and adult evenings; special events can carry their own tickets separate from general admission.
Before you go
Organizers can change times, move events indoors or cancel for weather. Check Carolina Raptor Center’s own announcements on the day. For large town events, parking and road closures are usually published alongside the event; arrive early.
