The unmistakable calls of American Flamingoes and melodic chirping of Island Canaries set the tone of the National Aviary’s seasonal theme, Rainforest Retreat!

Step into a lush, vibrant world where every bird call and rustle of tree branches tells a story. Let nature’s symphony of sounds – from the braying of African Penguins to the splashing of water as a Puna Teal goes for a swim – take center stage during NEW Daily Activities, including with General Admission.

Waddle on over to the National Aviary and celebrate everyone’s favorite flightless feathered friends: penguins! Meet the colony of African Penguins in Penguin Point, watch a PENGUIN PARADE* (yes, you heard us right!), meet our African Penguin chicks, view a fun feeding and chat with National Aviary experts, find out what makes penguins so unique, make your own penguin craft, and more. Learn how you can help penguins and other marine life every day.

^{*At the National Aviary, we give our penguins the choice to participate in experiences!} 

Spend an Evening in Paradise on the North Shore during the National Aviary’s blockbuster 21+ party: Night in the Tropics Presented by UPMC Health Plan.
