Being an avid birder, I just had to check this place out and I was not disappointed!! In fact, I spent about twice as long here as I anticipated! Even my son loved it and he usually rolls his eyes when I start talking about birds lol! The grounds are a lot more expansive than I expected! It’s a huge complex with many different sections and “houses” that allow you to walk around inside! One of my faves was the rainforest habitat - there were so many colorful and loquacious birds flitting around in the trees surrounding us! They even had an owl hooting away behind a bamboo screen and he was eating a poor little mouse! Peacocks actively roam around the grounds openly and let you get pretty close for some great pics. They had tons of waterfowl and the Flamingos were putting on an incredible show - dancing around and almost seeming to fight and chase each other! I was so surprised at all the activity given that it was a chilly winter morning - Fabulous day! It’s very easy to find - located inside lovely Liberty Park. We parked on the outer ring that encircles the park but there seems to be another parking lot closer to the entrance so just keep an eye out for that turn-in. The prices are very reasonable given the quality of the attractions. They have a cute little gift shop inside as well. The grounds have seating areas and nice sidewalks with maps placed very frequently so you can find your way and be sure not to miss anything. There were several closed areas - one small area closed off bc a tree had fallen and pulled up a bunch of the sidewalk due to a recent windstorm. Shame bc it looked like such a nice area - but you could still see the birdies inside. The “theater” where they hold demonstrations and such is also closed - we could see there were some interesting birdy specimens inside but couldn’t get to them so that was a bummer but that just means we’ll have to go back! …

This aviary has been around for well over 50 years, but in recent years was given a substantial upgrade thanks to a grant. Better enclosures, better variety, better signage, and overall a much better experience. Some kids events and displays, too.

Potential for being fantastic, but the exhibits lacked attention and many birds were not on exhibit.

We went yesterday and were very disappointed! Really wanted to get pictures of the Flamingos, but was told they had to put them inside due to Rats! Then A manager was called and 3 workers showed up and I Was told that they put them in for the night please! It was 3:10. Later we saw 2 workers leaving an aviary we were entering and the male worker had a clear plastic bag he was carrying with dead RATS! There was a young boy with his Mom just outside playing in the sand where the park had provided sand toys! That could be deadly to that child! Rats carry all kinds of diseases! We decided to leave and I told the gal working the entrance That we were very disappointed no flamingos were out and she told me they had rat problems and some birds were not out because of that. We did get refund…

We had a wonderful time at the Tracy Aviary. The aviary has gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of its staff and visitors. They have an effective system for contactless payment, and guests social distanced and wore masks. The birds seem happy and well cared for, and the signage is both beautiful and informative. I also really enjoyed the aviary's landscaping and that many of the plants are labelled.…
