Grab your binoculars and become a world traveler without leaving Pittsburgh during the National Aviary’s NEW summer season, Global Odyssey: Avian Adventure!

Guests of all ages can also get their Global Odyssey Passport stamped as they experience a scavenger hunt throughout the Aviary, to take with them as a souvenir from their “trip!”
