Wings Over Wasatch

Wasatch Wildlife Center is embarking on an ambitious $5 million capital campaign to establish Utah's first dedicated raptor rehabilitation center and flight-specialized wildlife hospital in the Park City area of Summit County. This transformative project will create a world-class facility serving as both a critical conservation resource for injured and orphaned wildlife and a premier year-round tourism destination.

Three Integrated Components:

The Raptor Hospital & Flight Arena — Utah's premier raptor rehabilitation center featuring state-of-the-art surgical suites, specialized flight conditioning facilities, and the state's only covered flight arena for year-round eagle, hawk, falcon, and owl demonstrations.

The Micro Aviary — Utah's only walk-through hummingbird experience where visitors step into a living garden alive with jewel-like pollinators, observing nesting behaviors and aerial acrobatics of multiple native species.

The Twilight Roost — Utah's first dedicated bat conservation education center with compelling evening programs and interactive exhibits highlighting the critical role of bats as pest controllers and pollinators.

Operation Sentinel Sky - our signature veteran program, connects military service members with raptor rehabilitation—offering therapeutic engagement and a meaningful path from service to stewardship as veterans help injured raptors heal and return to flight.

At a time when Summit County faces unprecedented challenges from record-low snowpack threatening traditional winter tourism, Wasatch Wildlife Center will provide a reliable, weather-independent attraction that draws visitors year-round, supports local businesses, generates substantial tax revenue, and creates dozens of jobs.

We are building more than a wildlife hospital. We are building Utah's conservation tourism flagship—a destination that educates, inspires, and serves both wildlife and our mountain community for generations to come.
