VISITING INFORMATION & SCHEDULE
Please note, that because of the ongoing highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak, certain parts of the sanctuary will be STRICTLY OFF LIMITS for the 2022 visiting season. Because of the very high risk to our rescued birds, please understand that it might be necessary for us to change or cancel certain event dates for safety reasons.

SCHEDULING A PRIVATE TOUR
Donors giving a minimum of $250 (in the current calendar year) may schedule a private tour between the months of June and October. All private tours are limited to no more than 6 guests (unless other accommodations are made) and must be booked by email (melissa@peaceridgesanctuary.org) at least two weeks in advance. While we will do the best to accommodate your preferred time/date, please know we will not be able to make all dates/times work given our busy schedules here but will work with you to try to find a time that works. Private tours are typically scheduled in the afternoon and run 1-2 hours long. If you would like to bring a vegan picnic to enjoy after your tour you are welcome to do so.
