Have you ever wondered what owls look like? What they eat? Or where they live? If you are interested, then come learn a little bit about our native feathered friends. We’ll talk for a few minutes in our discovery center about the many different types of owls that you may see in Virginia. Then we will dig into some real owl pellets to see what they've been eating.

There is a fee of $2 per participant for this program. If you are bringing a large group, please call the state park Visitor Center ahead of time. The standard parking fee is also required unless you are a campground or cabin guest.
