Did you know the National Aviary and Children’s Museum have a Joint Membership? Weave your way through the National Aviary’s Tropical Rainforest habitat for a colorful, immersive experience, then head to I AM WILD: A Charley Harper Exhibit, just a block away at the Children’s Museum, and see how artistic expression can capture a natural habitat’s color and vibrancy.

Don’t forget to turn your Aviary admission into a Joint Membership at our Visitor Services Desk for free visits to both facilities all year!
