POV: This could be YOU!

Visit actual world wonders, like the Aurora Borealis and waterfalls TWICE the size of Niagara Falls, alongside the bird species who call them home…all without leaving Pittsburgh! Get your Passport to Parks stamped and head out on a AAA Travel-sponsored eco-tour of national parks found around the world, with TWO knowledgeable Aviary experts as your guide!

Audience members (aka “travelers!”) will delight in the sights and sounds of national parks: from the Gray Crowned-Crane of Zimbabwe flying closer to audiences than ever before, to Curl-Crested Aracaris of the Andes Mountains flying onto the hands of a few randomly selected passport holders for a delicious, fresh piece of fruit.

Plus, discover how YOU can help protect these extraordinary species (hint: simply attending Passport to Parks is one easy way, as all proceeds support our work to save birds and protect their habitats)!

Want to get a bird’s-eye view of the parks featured in our immersive show? Take flight on Birdly®, an amazing virtual reality simulation!
