Very small needs a bit of care but it was nice the bird there was huge
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids aged 3–10 who are drawn to live animals and aquatic life. The Tadpole Time program is purpose-built for preschoolers and runs the second Friday of each month. Weekend dive shows and feeding sessions add real programming value beyond self-guided viewing.

“I really hate to give a place a bad rating but this place is depressing whoever oversees it are controls it needs to put a little bit of money into the place The exhibits are tired and the place could use a little bit of love”
Savannah Schaefer
“The Aviary is disgusting and I saw a dead bird floating in the pond. There was no helpful management in site. Also, Bethany and Leslie were very rude and unprofessional.”
