Bornholms Rovfugleshow – Dyrenes Oase
Immersive birds-of-prey shows and evolution-themed encounters on Bornholm, where owls, falcons, reptiles and farm animals turn science into a full, family-friendly day out.
Bornholms Rovfugleshow, just outside Rønne on Bornholm, is an immersive wildlife and learning center where birds of prey, parrots, reptiles and farm animals tell the story of 400 million years of evolution. Across several themed shows each day, skilled falconers bring owls, falcons, vultures and other “nature’s superheroes” astonishingly close, mixing science, humor and clear respect for animal welfare. Play areas, touch-friendly enclosures and indoor and outdoor arenas make this a full-day family experience.

Local tips
- Plan at least half a day so you can follow the full sequence of shows from late morning to early afternoon without rushing.
- Bring layers and possibly rain gear; many presentations take place outdoors or in open arenas, and wind can pick up quickly.
- Consider pre-booking special experiences like walking with a bird of prey if you want guaranteed close interaction.
- Bring a water bottle and snacks or a picnic, as the on-site café serves a modest, simple selection rather than full meals.
- Families with sensitive youngsters may want to prepare them for live prey demonstrations and close contact with large birds and reptiles.

Getting There
-
Bus from central Rønne
From Rønne town center, use a regional bus towards Nyker or along the main road north of town and alight at a stop within walking distance of Lundsgårdsvej. Typical journey times are around 15–25 minutes depending on route and waiting time. A single adult ticket on Bornholm’s buses usually costs in the range of 25–40 DKK, with reduced fares for children. Services are less frequent outside peak season, so check departure times in advance and allow extra time between connections.
-
Taxi from Rønne
Local taxis in Rønne can reach Bornholms Rovfugleshow in about 10–15 minutes, as the distance is short but partly on country roads. Base fares on Bornholm are typically around 40–50 DKK, with per‑kilometre charges bringing the total into the 120–200 DKK range each way for a small group, depending on traffic and time of day. Taxis are a convenient choice for families, visitors with limited mobility or those aligning precisely with show start times.
-
Bicycle from Rønne
Cycling from Rønne to the show area is a popular option in summer, using local roads and sections of designated bike routes. Expect a ride of roughly 25–40 minutes each way at a relaxed pace, with gentle hills and mixed surfaces but no technical terrain. Standard city or touring bikes are sufficient. There is no extra cost beyond any rental fee if you hire a bicycle in town, which commonly ranges from about 75–150 DKK per day depending on model and season.
-
On foot from nearby accommodations
If you are staying in countryside accommodation or a campsite in the Nyker–Rønne area within a few kilometres of Lundsgårdsvej, you can walk to the site in roughly 30–60 minutes. Expect rural roadside walking with limited shade and only basic verges rather than pavements. This option is best in daylight and in dry weather; it may not be ideal for wheelchairs or prams due to uneven ground and occasional traffic.

Nature’s Superheroes on a Baltic Island
Bornholms Rovfugleshow sits in the countryside near Rønne, yet feels a world away from town life. Here the focus is squarely on animals as “nature’s superheroes” – creatures with extraordinary senses, strength and survival tricks. Instead of rows of cages, you enter a compact outdoor and indoor park where the action comes to you during scheduled shows. The setting combines grassy arenas, simple stands, barns and a playground, with fields and trees framing the site. It is intimate rather than grand, which means you are never far from the birds as they skim the audience, land near benches or perch low enough for close inspection.A Day Tracing 400 Million Years of Evolution
The experience is designed as a loose journey through evolution. Over the course of a day, you can follow several different shows that connect prehistoric creatures to today’s raptors, parrots and reptiles. Narration, mostly in Danish with some English or German at select times, explains how dinosaurs and ancient reptiles link to the birds overhead. Facts are folded into lively demonstrations: how a vulture’s stomach acid neutralizes dangerous bacteria, how an owl can locate a mouse under snow, or what chickens and eagles still share with long‑gone flying dinosaurs. The educational thread is clear but never dry, making it approachable for children and still engaging for adults.Up-Close Encounters with Raptors and More
The flagship attraction is the mixed indoor–outdoor birds of prey show. From small, fast falcons to broad‑winged owls and imposing vultures, the birds demonstrate natural behaviors rather than circus tricks. Some stoop at speed, others hover over the arena, while a few may land on posts just above visitor eye level. On certain days, pre‑bookable sessions let a small group “walk with a bird of prey”, handling and flying an owl or falcon under the falconer’s guidance. Elsewhere in the park you may meet powerful constrictor snakes, giant insects, large spiders and surprisingly long‑lived tortoises, all used to underline different evolutionary adaptations.Farmyard Calm and Hands-On Family Fun
Between shows the pace slows. Children gravitate towards the playground and to pens with goats and sheep that can be petted when the animals are in the mood. In good weather, tortoises explore outdoor enclosures, and simple activity zones, like a “bird trail” game where you aim soft balls at targets, keep energy levels high without feeling like an amusement park. There is a small café serving basic snacks and drinks, plus outdoor seating for picnics, making it easy to spend several hours without leaving the site. The overall mood is casual and friendly, with plenty of grass underfoot and space for kids to roam within clear boundaries.Animal Welfare, Seasonality and Practical Details
Throughout the day, staff emphasize that animals are never forced to perform; if a bird chooses not to fly, the show simply adapts. This philosophy shapes everything from how often individual birds appear to how close visitors may get. The result is a wildlife experience that foregrounds respect as much as spectacle. The attraction operates mainly in the warmer months, with a condensed program at other times and special pre‑booked events in winter. Much of the visit takes place outdoors or in partially open arenas, so layered clothing and preparation for sun or wind are wise. Plan on several hours to follow the full sequence of shows, with flexibility to pause for breaks, snacks and free exploration.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
