I am the ULTIMATE TOURIST when I am travelling and I have no shame. I checked this place off of my list while visiting Pittsburgh and I am happy I did!
Admission fees are standard but you can pay more if you would like a hands-on experience with some birds i.e. feeding! Very cool. I'm ballin' on a budget though, so I just paid for the general admission + a show. The show I watched taught me about birds' impact on our Earth and how they contribute to society as a whole. It was pretty fascinating to learn about their history and traits of certain birds. You can tell the staff really knows their stuff and cares for the birds!
