Bird Kingdom is a multi-level indoor aviary at 5651 River Rd in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Walk through rainforest-style spaces as tropical birds fly overhead, then visit exhibits with reptiles and nocturnal animals. A small museum area adds context to the self-guided route, and optional bird-feeding encounters bring you closer to some of the birds. The warm, humid environment helps create the aviary’s rainforest setting. It is a family-friendly stop for animal lovers, with enough rooms and levels to explore at your own pace.
A self-guided route through the exhibits
The visit is self-guided, so you can move between the rooms and levels at your own pace. The route begins with a small museum area, then continues through aviaries and other animal exhibits. Along the way, look for tropical birds, reptiles and turtles. One section is devoted to nocturnal creatures, including owls and bats.
The aviary’s pathways pass through a rainforest-style habitat with greenery and a large indoor waterfall. Birds may fly freely through parts of the space, while other exhibits let you observe them from nearby. The changing rooms and levels give the visit more variety than a single large enclosure.
Bird encounters and feeding
Some encounters are available as paid add-ons. Bird feeding is one option, and feeding colourful lorikeets is mentioned as a highlight. A separate parrot encounter is also available. These activities are not part of the general walk-through, so check the available options when arranging your visit.
For some encounters, a photograph is taken and can be purchased at the gift shop. If you would like a picture, check the details before taking part so you know what is included and what costs extra.
Planning a visit with children
The indoor setting makes Bird Kingdom an option throughout the year, including when outdoor plans are less appealing. Families can take the route at their own pace, and children can watch birds moving around the aviary as well as look for animals in the separate exhibits.
The habitat is kept warm and humid for the birds, so dress for a tropical indoor environment. Tickets can be bought online in advance. Parking is paid; visitor information mentions a lot behind the building, but parking arrangements may change, so check the current details before driving.
