Children

In the Monasterio de Piedra park there is a flying display of birds of prey in which a falconer explains curiosities about these birds and their role in protecting the environment. All the birds come from specialist captive-breeding centres.

Times

There are three shows a day: at 11:30, at 14:00 and at 17:00. From 15 June, at 11:30, 13:00 and 17:00. Times change without prior notice for technical reasons or because of the weather: confirm them at the ticket offices, in the shop building, when you arrive.

Admission

The display is inside the park grounds and is not paid for separately. The 2026 ticket, which includes the park and a self-guided visit to the monastery, costs €20 for adults and €14.20 for children aged 4 to 11 and over-65s. There is a 15% discount for large families and 25% with the Carné Joven youth card. Under-14s cannot enter without an adult.

How to fit it in

The park opens at 9:00 and the last entry is at 16:30; from 10 November to 6 January, at 16:00, closing at 17:30. If you go in first thing, the 11:30 show falls in the middle of your tour; if you arrive at midday, aim for the 14:00. In the low season, the 17:00 show is very close to the park's closing time, so do not leave it to the last minute.

With small children, it is what they remember most from the day. Allow half an hour for the display and arrive a few minutes early to get a good spot.

Rules

Dogs may enter the park on a lead, but not the birds of prey area. You cannot eat or bring food inside the park, so leave your sandwich in the car and eat before or after at the restaurants within the grounds. The park has steps and slopes and is not fully accessible for pushchairs or wheelchairs.

Combining it

The display is part of the park route. Before or after, stop by the fish farm, restored in 2026, and finish at the monastery, which closes later. For lunch, Piedra Vieja or Reyes de Aragón.
