Falconry is the craft of hunting wild game with trained birds of prey— hawks, eagles, and falcons. It originated in Central Asia more than 4,000 years ago.
The Falconry Experience is available to the general public, as well as Hershey Resorts guests.
Falconry Details
Learn the sport of Falconry from Master Falconer Jack Hubley.
The Falconry Experience will acquaint participants with the history of man’s relationship with raptors and the evolution of falconry. It will include free-flight demonstrations, a simulated hunt demonstration, and an opportunity for participants to hold a majestic bird of prey.
Before firearms, falconry was a practical means of putting food on tables. Today it's the most heavily regulated field sport in the nation, with about 3,500 devotees who are licensed by both state and federal wildlife agencies.
