Flock to the Forests of the National Aviary, where cascading pumpkins and colorful photo opportunities meet fall festival fun AND feathered friends! Saunter through lush, flourishing habitats as dozens of unique bird species soar through golden-green-hued foliage, peer into a forested habitat home to the Northeast’s ONLY Harpy Eagle, and meet other species (like stinkin‘ cute new animals) that thrive in these elaborate domains during Seasonal Daily Activities and Interactive Play Spaces; included with General Admission.
Forests Presented by Peoples runs now through November; only at the National Aviary!
