National Aviary
The only institution in the United States designated as a 'National Aviary' by Congress. Birds fly freely in indoor rainforest and wetland halls, and visitors can get up close to them.
The aviary houses about 500 birds representing more than 150 species. In the tropical rainforest, wetland and grassland halls, birds fly freely around visitors. The penguin area and flamingo pool are the most popular. For an extra fee, you can take part in close encounters with penguins, sloths or owls. Raptor flight demonstrations are held daily. Admission is about 25 US dollars. The aviary is in the West Park area of the North Side and is good for families with children.
