Why would I go to the aviary on Easter weekend ?!?!?! thats all I kept thinking as the children ran around my feet... it was still a good time, but i prefer non-holiday weekends.
My favorite part of the entire place is Penguin Point, it's so fun to watch the zany penguins.
In the past I've done the trainer for a day program and got to work alongside the staff for about 8 hours, behind the scenes as well as interacting with visitors. Very fun thing to do if you have the time/money. You are able to pet the penguins (they bite) nuzzle with flamingos (they put kelp in your hair) and prepare fruit kabobs for the parrots (i wasn't going close enough to see what they would do to me).
