The top priority of the National Aviary is always the health and safety of our guests, staff, volunteers, and animals. We actively follow guidelines from by the Allegheny County Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). All National Aviary experiences have been thoughtfully planned to allow for physical distancing. Current measures also include enhanced safety protocols such as protective face masks, practicing physical distancing, and increased hand sanitization stations, as well as an online timed ticketing system which limits capacity to provide ample space for physical distancing.
