The Illinois Raptor Center is NOT open to the public.

We are opened to the public only during scheduled events.

Since the Illinois Raptor Center is a wildlife hospital, we cannot be open to the public. Rehabilitating birds cannot be displayed to the public by law.

The IRC Hospital is open 10 AM to 5 PM on weekdays to admit animals. We admit animals on weekends by appointment only.

Text (217) 963-6909 with a picture of the animal and your county to make an admittance appointment.
