About this activity

Ready to FLY into your next family day out? 

Great, because we're headed to the National Aviary! This popular Pittsburgh attraction is dedicated to saving birds and protecting their habitats, so it's not only an experience where kids can see amazing birds up close, but also learn about them too!

The experience also offers a chance for kids to learn about conservation too. 

Your day at the National Aviary is where kids can go nose to beak with over 150 different species of birds from all around the world, and see them in action! In fact, there are over 500 birds in total!

They can watch the penguins swim, dive and play in their open-air exhibit, which also has plenty of windows and even a crawl tunnel for little ones to get an extra close look at the birds.

The Grasslands exhibit is a natural world inhabited by finches, doves and plover, or you can get lost in the magic of the Tropical Rainforest! What kind of birds do you think live there?

The Wetlands is one of THREE free-flight exhibit areas giving you an unparalleled view into habitats and behaviors of birds living freely within the exhibit. American flamingos, Brown pelicans and Spoonbills are ready to meet you!

And it's not just birds at the National Aviary! If you visit the Cloud Forest, you might just spot one of the Aviary's most popular animals, the two-toed sloth!

Also at the National Aviary, daily feedings allow children and adults the chances offer worms, grapes and other treats to the birds, who take the food right from the hand. Other special activities include free-flight bird shows, in which macaws, owls, eagles, vultures and other birds fly over and walk among the audience.

Ready to FLY into your next family day out with excitement? Great! Shall we?
