The Scottish Owl Centre houses over 100 owls from around the world. Have fun learning about their habits and habitats, be spellbound in the daily all-weather flying displays, hold an owl for a photo, let go on Shortie's Chute or go mad in the gift shop. You never knew owls could be so big, so small or so beautiful! With all-day re-entry you can also enjoy the beautiful Polkemmet Country Park with its cafe, adventure playground, woodland walks, golf and bowls. Situated halfway between Edinburgh and Glasgow the Centre is easily accessible from M8 J4A. You can also book your very own Owl Encounter, Photo Shoot or Birthday Party.
