National Aviary

"Really nice place. Went here with my wife and we both enjoyed it very much. Nice mix of habitats and I like how immersive it is and allow you to be up-close and personal with the birds. The entirety of the place is somewhat small, so it doesn't take too long to go through the whole exhibit. But still worth-while for a short day trip."

"Absolutely love this place. This is heaven for bird lovers old and young. I could personally stay here all day just watching the birds in their “natural habitat”. They do a good job letting the birds live in peace but also provide a hands on educational experience. I definitely recommend going to the show too. Nothing like having a bird soar over your head! There’s also a sloth!!"

"In many areas, the birds roam free along side you, which is a unique experience. This teaches you to respect the birds, and understand their habitat. There was a very thorough diversity of birds, and it felt like a safe home for them. There's also some very large bats, which was spooky in good way."

"What a great adventure! It's a fun and educational way to spend an afternoon. It's neat to see such a variety of birds and their personalities up super close and personal. This was fun for the adults & kids alike, & sparked lots of insightful conversations. The kids had fun in the flight simulator too!"

"Lovely aviary. Enjoyed walking through the exhibits repeatedly which allows you to see them feeding the birds which brings them closer to you. Did the extra exhibit with the owl which was cool. The cafeteria area was very nice with additional areas to sit and eat. The only problem I had was that I missed an exibit with the birds flying because the owl person didn't know we were also doing that exhibit and we didn't know we had to mention it. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind. They kindly gave us a refund. The employees are very friendly and helpful."
