Visit the Glen Helen Raptor Center

During your visit to the Glen Helen Raptor Center, you will see and learn about various types of raptors native to Ohio while walking on our outdoor path. On weekends and as other times permit, docents may introduce you to birds up close at educational stations around the building.

Raptor Center Information Parking for the Raptor Center is at 1075 State Route 343. The blue route is a 1/3 mile long, and crosses the historic stagecoach bridge.

The Raptor Center can also be accessed by the trail system starting at 405 Corry Street (Yellow route, ¾ mile).
