Group Field Trips

Sylvan Heights Bird Park is located in Scotland Neck, NC and is one of Halifax County’s premier educational destinations.

Sylvan Heights offers your students a chance to view an astonishing collection of birds representing the biodiversity of our amazing world. Sylvan Heights provides a glimpse of birds from around the world featuring spacious, walk-through aviaries showcasing ducks, geese, swans, flamingoes, parrots, and birds of prey- just to name a few! Students, teachers, and parents alike will enjoy meeting and interacting with our birds face to face.

At Sylvan Heights, we strive to encourage a child’s curiosity and enthusiasm for the natural world. We use birds as a platform to inspire and teach about biology, environmental science, conservation, and more. With your park admission, your group can view the aviaries at your own pace and choose to add on self-guided educational activities, such as Scavenger Hunts or Endangered Species Passports. To expand the impact of your field trip, we also offer educational programs, which foster learning and build connections through fun and engaging activities.

With our online booking, school groups receive a discounted student admission rate and one free admission for a teacher or chaperone per every 10 student admissions.

If your group is unable to travel to the park for a visit, we can bring the birds to you! Outreach educational programs are available seasonally August-February and may offer a more cost-effective learning experience for your school.

Make a day of your trip to Sylvan Heights by bringing along a picnic lunch, exploring the fossil dig, and enjoying our playground!
