Embark on a Rainforest Retreat!
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.
Head to Penguin-Palooza March 22-23 from 11 am to 3 pm for a waddling good time: don’t miss Penguins on Parade at 1 pm!
LIMITED TIME Meet-Cute!
SPRING into March with an exciting NEW limited-time Daily Activity included with General Admission!
Get to know our adorable new Four-toed Hedgehog Animal Ambassadors, Doris and Betty! Watch as these little cuties forage through a naturalistic, custom-made portable habitat as an Aviary expert highlights the species’ importance to a biodiverse ecosystem. You won’t want to miss this “quill-iffic” opportunity!
Offered daily at 1:15 pm in March only at the National Aviary!
