As an Ohioian I absolutely loved and appreciated the variety of birds. I had no idea there were so many different sizes of owls out there and this was probably one of my favorite places of the aviary. They also do a good job of displaying very realistic habitats. Overall, it was beautiful and a great place even to just take a walk! More

After discovering the Aviary last year, was so impressed with the facility that my fiancee and I decided to get a year membership! The birds are as varied as they are beautiful, and the staff takes great care to ensure they are well looked after and provided with lots of enrichment and appropriate accommodations. RIP Andy ❤️ More

We had such an amazing time here! The bird show was great, you can tell that the staff are so passionate about the birds and are extremely knowledgable about them. We loved walking around, and it was a great winter activity because some of the exhibits are inside so we could warm up. Would definitely recommend! More

  • Ashton Nicewonger

Great place to spend a few hours. Definitely get to the bird show - see their website for timings and note that they won't let you in after the show has started. And do the lorikeet feeding - there are also specific times for that and it costs a few extra bucks but it's a fun experience, especially for kids! More

  • Laurel Davies

We are here visiting our son and his girlfriend. He suggested a visit to the aviary. We had a very enjoyable experience! Beautifully maintained grounds and we enjoyed all the birds and animals! Highly recommend for families! We purchased a yearly membership for the kids as part of their Christmas gift! More

  • Erika Husson

Really glad I went! Was better then I was expecting. The best kea enclosure I've seen I was so happy to see they had them! Quite a few baby birds including a few baby flamingos. Also a nice mix of different types of viewing areas, indoor spaces and walk in amongst the birds. Would highly recommend! More

  • Dave Gillespie

Went to see the Christmas lights, very pretty walk around the Aviary. Hot chocolate was great, and had a good selection of traditional Christmas music. The cute Kias were out asking for attention. The light maze was kind of lame, even the little kids were not confused at all. More

  • Trudy Petroff

It had been a few years since I was last here. It had really been added to. There are lots of birds to see, several interactive play areas for the kids and fun water features. It is a great place to visit because it is well shaded and doesn't get as hot as out in the open. More

  • Dan M

I came a few years ago but it really stuck with me how great this place is! Definitely very good for kids but also adults too. I went for a few hours and would recommend the scheduled learning portions in the amphitheater area. Definitely a great day here! More

  • Rachel S

Very cool aviary in the middle of the park. It's not super large, so you'll be there a half-day at most, but they have quite a few exhibits and places for kids to play. Also recommend the bird show (but show up early to get a seat if it's indoors) More

  • Shea Engle

Going here was an excellent experience. There was a lot more to see that I expected. There were paths everywhere through beautiful gardens and so many different types of birds! It was like the zoo of botanists and ornithologists. The space

  • Lindsay Diamond

Tracy Aviary was very enjoyable. Even though it was very cold outside, the birds did not seem to mind and some even came out of their houses to greet us! There were many birds - a wide variety from around the world. Such beautiful colors

  • Scott

A great Aviary for its size. Located near the heart of Salt Lake City, within Liberty Park. There are freely wandering peacocks, an Owl Forest, and an indoor rain forest, along with a couple dozen other enclosures. The price of admission

  • Jessica Pointon

Beautiful botanical garden and aviary! I had not been before but it was quite enjoyable. It was on a Sunday and not very crowded at all. There were no bird shows or activities going on and I didn't see staff around much to ask questions

  • Jeff Of The Mountains

Wife and I got there on Sunday, June 4th, at around 9 AM (right when they opened) to help her mom celebrate her 75th birthday. It paid off, because we got to see Andy the Andean Condor sunning his feathers before the crowd got there.

  • Lesta Isley

Even in this cooler weather, this was a great way to spend an hour or two! The staff were are wonderful, and the variety of birds exceeded my expectations. The grounds are truly lovely, especially with all of the fall color. A great

I actually didn't go inside. They have several access points where you can see a few birds along with posts describing them. This is located in Liberty Park which is a beauty all by itself. Tip: On Mondays, entry is $5 after 5pm More

  • Illiamna

There was so many species of ducks! Seeing the kea enclosure was amazing, they are so beautiful. The enclosures for the animals are fantastic and filled with enrichment. The indoor tropical bird aviary was outstanding. The botanical

Presently the light show is available till 9 pm and it was indeed a pleasant experience to visit the aviary during night time. Lighting with various colours is done and illuminated trees / maze and others were a treat to watch.

  • Andra Wise

Went to a special event and had a fabulous time. The aviary is a beautiful spot in the perfect setting, just inside liberty park. There's plenty for suits to enjoy with areas that will interest the kids too. More

  • H H

This is a must-see! They have a larger assortment of birds to see. We took a behind the scenes tour and loved it! Reservations ahead for behind the scenes, but the regular entry needs no reservation. More

  • Frank Willeam

Birds of all colors and sizes just doing their thing in this lush, gorgeous garden setting. It's like a chill escape where you can hang with the feathered crew and soak up some serious green vibes.

  • Samantha Goers

We (me and my 2 boys, 1 &3) came here on our way through town. As an out of towner, I was drawn to this place by the good reviews, a place to stretch our legs, and a need for decent coffee.

  • Lacey Sears

Phenomenal job on the Christmas lights this year. Santa Clause really showed up in his gingerbread house. Great treats available and fun coloring activities for the kids downstairs. More

  • Garrett Wall

Fun little way to spend the morning. Fed the larakeets which is a cool experience. Definitely everyone should go if they haven't or if it's been a while. The owls were my favorite More
