National Aviary

I love national aviary. It allowed me to fulfill one of my dreams of many years. I have always loved birds, but owls are by far my favorite. For years I’ve dreamed of getting to see them up close and hold one. The owl encounters here allowed me to do exactly that. While it was a little pricey for the encounter, it was worth every penny to me. As for everything else there, it seemed clean, professional, and very well run. I have no complaints really. Unfortunately I live out of state, otherwise I would be visiting frequently.

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.

It was an incredible experience, to get to the place and see how the birds flew over you, to see them so close, to know interesting facts about them. It was an excellent visit. On the site you can have food and drinks. I hope to come back.
