Come to Hershey, Pennsylvania—Experience the unique sport of falconry.

Before firearms, falconry was a practical means of putting food on tables.  Today it's the most heavily regulated field sport in the nation, with about 3,500 devotees who are licensed by both state and federal wildlife agencies.

The Falconry Experience by The Hotel Hershey will acquaint participants with the history of man’s relationship with raptors and the evolution of falconry. It will include free-flight demonstrations, a simulated hunt demonstration, and an opportunity for participants to hold a majestic bird of prey. 

The program will be run by master falconer Jack Hubley.  Hubley, a life-long resident of Lititz, PA has been a licensed falconer for 20 years.
