A little gem in the city. Hidden among the North Side sits a relatively small building with charm and birds. We had gotten a membership three years straight and took a year off, but the daughter and I visited recently because she missed the birds.
Loads to see, the feedings, shows, and special introductions of...birds are definitely a lot of fun. It does get a little expensive if you are getting any add-ons and I urge you to just get a membership if you plan on going more than once. It also gets very crowded on the weekends especially in the rooms where feedings are taking place. One more complaint would be the tiny parking lot. On the weekends it gets chaotic as street parking is also limited.
That being the said the small song bird room is wonderful, the penguins are fun, and feeding the lorikeets is a favorite of my daughters.
Plan a visit.
