Children’s Birthday Parties

Calling all Conservation Champions! Celebrate your child’s “bird-day” at the National Aviary and enjoy unique amenities you won’t find elsewhere! From immersive habitats and one-of-a-kind experiences, the 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)

  • A special gift and postcard for the birthday kid from your Aviary friends
  • Access to Interactive Play Spaces:
    • Raptor Toolbox: Explore our Raptor Toolbox and choose wisely to assemble your own custom Raptor. Will your little one’s bird be built for speed or strength?

    • Remarkable Raptors Sensory Table: Hunt and forage for raptor-approved items in our Remarkable Raptors Sensory Table.
