First off - the Aviary was a pretty cool place. They have a great diversity of birds to show off and you can get closer to the animals than at any other zoo I've been to. For the price, this is a great place to check out while you're in Pittsburgh. The reason I'm giving this only 3 stars is... More

I took my class here for a field trip. Very nice kids program. They offered a workshop and hands-on involvement with the birds. More
