This is such a fabulously mystical evening out. Hosted by Sunshine Castle in Bli Bli and Raptor Vision , another raptor-ous evening has been lined up for keen 'owl-ees' - my new word. Visitors to a Night with Owls will discover the magic of the Castle at night, whilst being introduced to the spectacular, swooping beauty of owls.

Learn about the owls' habitats, their lifestyle and most importantly, their conservation, all the while having these majestic birds swooshing over your head with dignity and grace.



Raptor Vision has a team of dedicated trainers whose objectives are the rehabilitation of sick and injured birds on the Sunshine Coast. These wondrous birds of prey are helped to build up their strength and fitness, ensuring that once they are released back into the wild, the owls are capable of doing what comes naturally … to hunt and fend for themselves. The breathtaking birds of a feather that are used in the Raptor Vision demonstrations are all ambassadors for their species, helping to educate the public on their continued successful conservation and preservation. All money raised from the exhibitions is used towards improving the owls' enclosures.



& #129417 ; What to do to ensure you don't miss out on A Night with Owls:

  • All tickets need to be pre-purchased, there will be no door sales. Tickets to A Night with Owls are only $30 per person and children under the age of three have FREE entry. When purchasing tickets on-line , please note the number of 'under three's' that will be attending A Night with Owls, in the comment box.

  • On arrival at the Sunshine Castle , visitors are encouraged to find a comfy spot in the Castle Courtyard. Jason from Raptor Vision will be doing the A Night with Owls presentation, explaining and educating, whilst these magnificent raptors show off with some of the things they have learned in their training.



  • Keep your eyes peeled to the heavens and await the owls' elegant and almost-hushed flights under the stars.

  • Bring your camera and have your photo taken with an owl on your arm before the presentation begins ... get there early as at only $5 per person, the queues are bound to be long.

  • Please come dressed for outdoors and don't forget the mozzie spray.

  • The Castle Cafe and bar will be open for visitors to purchase drinks and nibbles.



    & #129417 ; An important note: Children will NOT be permitted to run around during the presentation of A Night with Owls and will need to sit with either a parent or a caregiver throughout the show. Children must be fully supervised at all other times whilst at the Sunshine Castle.

    Make the wise choice and give yourself an owl Xperience by bookmarking a fabulous night out with A Night with Owls.
    'Owl' be honest, this sure sounds like it's going to be a hoot, promising a raptor-ous night, in a totally unique location.



    & #129417 ; An added bit of trivia for readers: Did you know that a group of owls is called a 'parliament'? Yes, really! Apparently this is because owls have always been considered to be of a wise disposition. In Greek mythology, the owl is the symbol for Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
