"Awesome 2-hour experience today for our whole family. Both girls ages 8 and 4 learned a lot, were included in the demonstrations and engaged by the energetic teachers. The birds were impressive and everyone got hands-on. The facilities were perfect to be indoors if rainy or too hot/cold. We felt like part of the Gentry family and were invited to stay after and visit with their other farm animals. Highly recommend this and we will do it again. Looking forward to a hunting trip next time."

 "Had an excellent, informative intro to hawks and other birds of prey today with Chip. My sons learned so much. Chip is passionate about his work with birds of prey and was able to answer any and all questions we had. He kept the attention of the boys, which pleased me so! We also had a chance to hold the birds and let them fly to us, and actually pet some of them. It was an impressive and inspiring experience for us!"

"Coolest day at Hawk Manor! We spent several hours not only learning about raptors in a personal setting and seeing them up close, but also holding and touching them. You MUST visit Summer and Chip and have the great pleasure of meeting their brood. Eli is one of their Harris Hawks, Annabelle is their stunning Barn Owl, and Pandora is a hybrid Peregrine Falcon - the fastest animal in the world! We each had a personal encounter with the birds and learned so much!"

 "My wife and I did the 2-hour experience this past Saturday which ended up being about 3½ exceptionally well-spent hours. Saying this was a fantastic experience would be a gross understatement. This event was one of the most fun, entertaining, and educational experiences I believe I have ever had and well worth the 2½ hour drive from Charlotte. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this to just say YES! You won't be disappointed."

 "I had a great experience on the hunt we were guided on. Watching these birds do what they do best plus all the hard work and training that's gone into making them a falconer's bird was a sight to see and was never dull. Our trip ran like a well-oiled machine - Chip and Summer are as professional as they are warm and accommodating. I plan to book another trip."

"This was a fabulous experience! Chip, quite the showman himself, led us on an educational trip full of demonstrations by his awesome birds of prey. A comfortable venue complete with southern hospitality and refreshments. Seriously thinking of returning for the hunting experience. You can tell that he and Summer really have a passion for their birds and their way of life. Kudos and thanks for a genuine learning experience."
