Get ready to explore amazing world wonders and the bird species who call them home…all without leaving Pittsburgh! During the Aviary’s NEW immersive, free-flight show Passport to Parks, presented by AAA Travel, now boarding Wednesday, April 2. Guests will get their passports stamped and head out on an eco-tour of national parks found around the world, with the National Aviary as their guide! Our most immersive bird show to date features A BRAND-NEW ANIMAL AMBASSADOR SPECIES and not one but TWO exciting, knowledgeable guides.

Passport to Parks features eight species, including our brand-new Striped Skunk Animal Ambassadors, Gouda and Pepper-Jack, plus a Gray Crowned-Crane, Silver Gulls, Scarlet Macaws, an Eurasian Eagle-Owl, a Palm-nut Vulture, a Harris' Hawk, and a Curl-crested Aracari.
“It’s no debating that this show is our most immersive to date!” says Cathy Schlott, Director of Animal Programs and Experiences. “Travelers will not only watch as certain species fly directly overhead but a select lucky few will have the chance to be a part of the show during two opportunities: have a small toucan hop to and from their hand eating its favorite blueberry treat or hold a meatball snack overhead for a Silver Gull to swoop in and enjoy! This show is sure to thrill visitors of all ages.”
The Aviary’s brand new show is offered daily, Wednesday to Monday at 11 am and 2 pm, and will begin running seven days a week following Memorial Day weekend. *Tickets are just $5 for non-members and $4 for members, and this April only: organ donors also pay $4 during Donate Life Month; those eligible should show official ID to the front services desk.
