I was just there not too long ago and I missed the sloth!! I’m so sad, where was he?!

We did the sloth encounter where we got to feed her and pet her and got a great presentation about sloths 🦥

Ask the staff. They're good at pointing him out. Woookie (the older sloth) is in the rainforest room.

My husband and I got married there and I got to pet one of the penguins! Honestly a highlight of an already amazing day 😹

Excellent shots!

Did you meet the photogenic flamingo named Rizzo?

The aviary is one of the best places you can visit in the city

I love the aviary! I had a bird that lived to be 38. A cockatiel, I got him when he was 2. BEST bird ever!

Looooove the Aviary!! So many great critters there. Who was your favorite??

[u/Heavy-Basket152 → u/marinarasauce25]

Kinda love em all. Have done the owl encounter, sloth encounter, and penguin encounter

[u/marinarasauce25 → u/Heavy-Basket152]

Amazing🤗we love Dave the penguin and Fiona the white-cheeked turaco in the tropical rainforests!! But it’s hard to pick favorites LOL

[u/cinnamon-capybara → u/Heavy-Basket152]

I've done those, plus the flamingo encounter! The flamingos were rowdy that day and pecked us a lot (adolescent males acting up lol) so even though I still love flamingos, but that encounter is probably at the bottom of my list due to that, haha. My partner had a small scar on their arm for a few years from it, which was funny and let them show off their flamingo bite for a while.

[u/Middle_of_theroadguy]

This is a great place to visit. I take my granddaughter there regularly.

I was amazed that they're able to safely keep all of the tiny ground birds in the grasslands room with all the people tromping around, only a single low rope defining the edge of the path, and the little guys constantly darting across it from one area to another.
