Now in our 15th year, Open Door Bird Sanctuary (ODBS) raises avian awareness and inspires coexistence with the rich natural world of Door County Wisconsin, and wherever you call home.

We are a private non-profit 501(c)3 organization and the only facility of its kind in the area. With 34 acres of pristine land with hiking trails, wildlife viewing and our birds of prey, we offer a unique combination of environmental and wildlife education as well as being a destination for both Door County residents and tourists alike. Our visitors are all ages offering just as much awe and inspiration to adults as to children.

We are open to the public during our “RAPTOR SATURDAYS” which are held weekly during the summer, and periodically throughout the other 3 seasons (go to our Events Calendar page below for our upcoming schedule). You can also find our staff and volunteers with some of our resident raptors at various events throughout Door County and beyond! Again, see our Events Calendar page, or our Facebook page, to see where we will be next.

*Please note: even though we are only open to the public during “Raptor Saturdays”, we do offer PRIVATE TOURS most weekdays and many weekends year-round! More information on Private Tours can be found by clicking below.
