Birding Safari 2024

Experience the exciting world of birds during this safari designed for brand-new to beginner birders. Learn the basics of birding from how to identify common birds to birding etiquette before heading into the field to try out your new skills on a guided bird walk. Prior birding experience is not required.

• Guests under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a paying adult. The minimum age for participants is 12 years old. This experience involves walking outdoors on uneven, unpaved ground. Close-toed shoes must be worn. This safari will start at the Virginia Living Museum before going to the field site. Guests will have the option to take provided transportation from the VLM to the field site and back, if they would like. We cannot offer pick-up or drop-off and guests must meet us at the Museum for the first part of the experience. Please contact deanna.orr@thevlm.org with questions.
• Things to pack and wear: Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, bug spray, close-toed shoes (no flip flops, no sandals, no Crocs), snack, water bottle, layers of clothing appropriate for the weather, binoculars (if you already own them and would like to bring them; not required)
