Children’s Birthday Parties

Children’s Birthday Parties

Celebrate your child’s “bird-day” at the National Aviary with immersive habitats and one-of-a-kind experiences!  With ample space in our Learning Center, the National Aviary is the perfect location for your next celebration.

Children’s Birthday Party Package Includes:

  • A birthday party room rental on Saturday or Sunday from 11:30 am – 1 pm
  • Same-day General Admission for up to 20 guests for $400 or 30 guests for $500 (any combination for children and adults)
    • Habitat access for ALL party guests even after the party ends
  • Access to Interactive Play Spaces:
    • Let imagination take flight in our kid-sized Aviation Station. Kiddos can pilot from the cockpit or relax as they pretend to be passengers soaring through the skies!
    • Help our feathered friends Pack Their Suitcase (or shall we say plumage-case!) to travel to the icy tundra, sun-drenched desert, or dense rainforest!
    • Navigate your way across the world with toy planes, trains, and automobiles in our Sensory Table.
    • Fly to a faraway place with a creation of your own using our Draw Alive station. After watching your animal come to life on the screen, proudly display it on our artwork wall (or take it home for your refrigerator)!
    • Climb and play in our massive Bird’s Nest and navigate your way across the different-sized mushrooms that surround it.
    • Little jetsetters can even relax and enjoy reading about birds and travel in our cozy Book Nook.
  • Tables and chairs with an array of plastic tablecloth color options*

DON’T FORGET: All National Aviary Members receive 10% off our Children’s Birthday Party Package!

Animal Encounter

Our Animal Encounters are the perfect way to make a child’s special day unforgettable! Get up close and personal with some of the world’s most fascinating animals and enjoy amazing photo opportunities! Animal Encounters could be with a bird of prey, parrot, or armadillo.
