Since I usually stay a month per city, I get time to explore the more niche, one-off stuff — like owl cafés.
Was it life-changing? No.
Was it weird, memorable, and mildly chaotic? Yes.
If you love owls, this is for you — you’ll get super close and see dozens of them in one room.
It’s curated per slot so it’s not too overwhelming for them (in theory), but I still worried a bit about how they were doing with the crowd.
Also… one of them pooped on me.
Like full landed on my head and left a gift on my jacket moment. They’re heavier than you’d think.
What the flying fish ball indeed.
🌟 Final Thoughts
Cute if you’re into owls. Totally okay to skip if you’re not.
