National Aviary
Immerse yourself at the National Aviary in warm, tropical habitats with more than 500 beautiful birds and mammals from around the world! Explore the Tropical Rainforest and watch as Victoria Crowned Pigeons strut in front of a beautiful waterfall. Stroll through the Grasslands as Owl Finches and Red Siskins fly right in front of you. Enjoy daily interactive activities included with admission like Meet a Tropical Friend or Tropical Bat Hangout as you learn about different species, their role in our ecosystem, and what you can do to help protect them. Get even closer to some of your favorite birds and mammals as you touch an African Penguin’s feathers, hold an Eurasian Eagle-Owl on your gloved hand, or feed a sloth its favorite foods, and more during an Animal Encounter.
