The Bald Eagle is one of our most compelling exhibit animals. Gazing into the eyes of this magnificent bird from a mere 12 feet away is almost a spiritual experience. She, like many of our exhibit wild animals, suffered an injury which did not heal well enough to allow her to be released back into the wild.
Since this American icon must remain in captivity for the rest of her life (which can be over 40 years) she serves an inspirational and educational purpose here at Lake Erie Nature & Science Center helping us connect people to Nature in a meaningful way.
You can visit our outdoor animal exhibits 7 days a week from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Find even more information on our Bald Eagle in the Kids Corner.
