The Velma Morrison Interpretive Center will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday, but closed Mondays. Guided tours of the Archives of Falconry will be offered at 2 p.m. when the interpretive center is open. They will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.

Live bird presentations will be held at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Summer hours resume Friday, March 1.
