  • 3No need to pre-book!

    Definitely worth a couple of hours of your time when you visit Locarno. They are very experienced and put on a good show. Would suggest to arrive shortly before 11am, to enjoy the show that starts at 11am and then explore a little bit/take photos. There is no need to buy tickets in advance! They promote the tickets online as avoiding the queue…but in reality when you arrive there is only one queue to enter the place, so you will need to queue up behind people who haven’t bought a ticket yet. The show was quite enjoyable and the birds can really fly up VERY close to you. I had the American Bald eagle fly straight over my head.

  • 5Worth a visit

    A wonderful few hours, explanations in german and italian on the birds. Even an extra showman on a horse to close up. Worth another visit. Easy to get to by bus and then a short walk. Bathrooms, ice cream and restaurants on site.

About Lugano

Lugano is a lakeside city in Italian-speaking Switzerland, with palm-lined promenades, arcaded squares and mountains rising straight from the water.

Lugano lies on the shore of Lake Lugano in the Ticino canton, where the language is Italian and the climate is mild enough for palms and camellias. The old town centres on Piazza della Riforma, lined with cafés and arcades, and a promenade and the Parco Ciani run along the lake. Santa Maria degli Angioli, a church by the water, has a large Renaissance fresco of the Crucifixion by Bernardino Luini.

Top-ranked sights in Lugano: Lake Lugano, Church of Santa Maria degli Angioli, Monte Brè.
