Visit the National Aviary BEFORE we open to the general public and meet Linnaeus’s Two-toed Sloth, Vivien!
- Get to know Viv and learn all about her species, their diets, and how much time they spend upside down from an Aviary expert.
- Hand-feed Vivien a few of her favorite treats and feel her soft fur while an Aviary expert tells you her personal story and you discover the importance of rainforest conservation for sloths and birds alike!
- Guests are encouraged to take photos or videos and to ask questions.
