The National Aviary is such a gem! Expect to spend about 1.5-2hrs to see everything. We booked a Junior Penguin Encounter for our family as our 1 yr old is really interested in birds at the moment, and it was a really great experience! The guide was very informative, and Sunshine the penguin was awesome. If you are interested in an encounter, definitely book ahead of time because they do fill up quickly.
