    The initial museum and smaller aviary leaves much to be desired and I wasn't too hopeful... That is until we went into the huge indoor open concept aviary which really gives you the true Bird Kingdom experience! Even the mascot blue bird was hanging about for some picture taking. Parking is free but limited spots, so go early or be prepared to wait it out. Definitely worth a look and bring your cameras! I give them 9/10!

    First time here and I can’t believe I’ve never visited before! Such a wonderful experience - definitely exceeded my expectations. The main aviary is massive with so many beautiful and cool birds roaming around. Some even come up to you. But there is more to this place - there are other exhibits with tortoises, frogs, and bats!! Worth the price and time. Short walk from Clifton Hill. Stroller friendly. Can spend up to 2 hours here easily. Came on a weekday and was not busy. Highly recommend.

    It was okay, but the value for the time you spend at Bird Kingdom isn’t there. The whole route takes about an hour. Maybe 1.5 if you’re going really, really slow. Parking is reasonable thankfully at $3 per hour for a max of 3 hours. Gift shop is a bit odd. I was expecting more bird and Niagara Falls related souvenirs and found stuffed animals off all types for kids, of which only 4 were birds. The aviary was the best of the three floors, but we pictured it would be bigger than it was. A lot of people were not wearing their masks at all or correctly so that took away from the experience as well since there was no staff to enforce masks. Overall a nice place but a one and done kind of thing.

    Saw this last minute and did a quick u-turn. Best decision ever!!!!So much to see and experience. We truly enjoy watching birds on our property but the opportunity to see these beautiful creatures from all over,freely flying was breathtaking. It doesn’t end there,artifacts,reptiles and so much more. Could you be so lucky and have a bird land on you🤷. Definitely place it on your itinerary. Parking available as well which makes life so much better.

    What a neat experience to be had! Not a typical tourist attraction by any means. With tons of different birds and various other animals, some that even wave hello, it's a pretty cool experience regardless of age. Cheap parking, decent priced ticket, and a great experience to be had. Highly recommend!

    Gorgeous place, lots of professional staff taking care of the animals. Cute little museum before going into the aviary. So many beautiful plants and birds. Gift shop prices aren't insane, either. We're local and we all grabbed a thing or two before leaving.

    What an amazing place! Beautiful variety of birds, there’s also reptiles, turtles, bats, frogs and snakes. They offer birds feeding too for extra $5/cup. Plenty of free parking included with the ticket. Ticket price isn’t bad. There’s a shop there too and a museum. Highly recommended to visit when you’re there visiting the falls, it’s 5 mins away from the falls. I’ve seen some birds there that I never seen before.

    You can go through the space in about an hour. There is a great variety of birds as well as some turtles and lizards. There are certain time slots where you can touch birds and ha e your picture taken which you can view and purchase in the gift shop. Great visit, don't forget to check Groupon for tickets.

    Had a blast visiting Bird Kingdom. A definite must see if you are a lover of avian species. Multiple floors and a huge open air aviary. Also lots of species of reptiles, amphibians and other small animals. Get up close and personal with many species of birds. What fun!

    It's a really cool place to visit with or without kids. It's about an hour to see everything. You can see turtles walking around, bird flying here and there, get up and close without any issues. Really worth the cost and you will have fun. The birds seem to be well taken care of with plenty of space too.

    This was an AWESOME experience! Spent close to 100$ for 4 people, but it was worth the visit. Besides the part where if you don't have the pass, you can't go into the small bird area where you can interact with them, that was sad. But the rest of the visit was amazing, the nocturnal animals, the small bird sanctuary, and the giant open area with birds free flying and walking around. The gift shop is HUGE and full of different items. The prices are very fair and they DO NOT charge you tourist tax! I bought a stuffed parrot for 20$ and it is very good quality and a great reminder of the new years day I had with my friends!

    We really enjoyed our visit here! Its everything you'd expect from the Bird Kingdom. So many types of exotic birds, so colourful and pretty! There's also some other little creatures to visit in the Nocturnal section. Theres an area you get to walk in and have many birds land on you. One of my favourite parts was the giant waterfall that leads down to the water with all the goldfish. You can stand behind the waterfall and see a whole other view! There's other sections of this place you'll just have to see for yourself! Definitely worth checking this place out and you can find good deals and family bundles online

    This is my Number One favourite place in the universe. Being (slightly) obsessed which all things avian, coming here was a dream come true. However, my life was irreversibly improved for the 37292929% better when all I'd ever thought about for the last coherent years of my life came true and I held Coco the Hyacinth Macaw. Although I will never be able to own a Hya, this moment was surreal. The people were nice and seeing my favourite species (all things parrot but Macaws are my true love) in the flesh was the absolute best. Thank you guys.

    Amazing experience this time coming back after 3 yrs. I really didn't remember it was so much fun. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about all the animals and ready to answer any of your questions. I used to have to pay to play with the parrots, not anymore, maybe it's included in the tickets. It was a Sat so it's quite busy but we as a family enjoyed it so much. Spent a good 2hrs30mins there. We will definitely come back!! <3

    Pretty cool place if you like birds. If you don't, well, don't go. Lots of cool birds, and exhibits. My kids had a blast. Definitely a neat attraction that's different from all the haunted houses and arcades on the main strip.

    I’d highly recommend doing this with children. It’s a beautiful display or birds and plant life - the atrium area was breathtaking and interacting with birds on an extremely close level was a great experience. I am deaf to high pitch sounds, so found it pleasantly quiet .. but apparently it is very loud at times. Just a word of warning to those with sensitive ears

    Amazing place, a break from Niagara Falls. Kids love it. A bit humid inside but quite manageable. A lot of variety of birds and reptiles. It’s like a green house for birds. You can pay $5 for feeding the birds. Parking is just $6 for 2 hours.

    A Must-See! This attraction is one of the few in Niagara Falls, ON, that transitioned from what it once was (Niagara Falls Museum) to something else equally interesting or worthwhile. With several floors of carefully laid out displays and aviaries, the 100s of birds are given a lot of room to fly, mate, nest, and interact with one another while patrons walk through observing. In addition, there is a bit of a theme running throughout the building of a "lost kingdom", with exploratory exhibitions; old trunks and crates, an army jeep, ancient ruin replicas, and a full-sized plane wreck! The blockbuster of this attraction is the final HUGE multi-level aviary; four stories of open jungle flora and walkways criss-crossing as you descend the building. Also, housing an indoor waterfall, with dozens of birds flying and nesting throughout. Also wonderfully displayed is an intricately carved, antique Javanese tea house. Beautiful! Expect to spend at least an hour here touring. (We took 2hrs just because we were taking so many photos).

    We had an amazing time here. The birds (most) are free to fly around. There was some great historical information and a gorgeous Japanese Tea House! The gift shop has a great selection and is not too pricey. Look online for coupon codes

    My daughter brought me here for the very first time on Family Day last Monday. I gotta tell you these birds and other animals are amazing!! I was so in WOW the beautiful colours of feathers and lengths and sizes of birds. The Bats were really cute too my goodness! I definitely will come back again. Beautiful set up just like nature for them!!👍🏽😍👍🏽😍

    Great place to visit when going to Niagara falls. It's hidden away but it's worth seeing. Beautiful birds waterfall and a tea house from 1800s. It's a great place to take your family or take a date. You will love the experience

    A peaceful experience indeed. The atmosphere is filled with creatures to explore. I loved the open concept so that way you can safely get a close look at the animals. There were so many types to look at. Great fun for the kids and you can find a great deal for tickets on groupon or other discount websites. Definitely recommend others to check out this sanctuary.

    Peaceful place to enjoy the birds. Only a few birds are actually caged in confined spaces so it is less heartbreaking. Other birds fly around freely. Wear a hat/cap if you don't want to risk bird poop on your head 🙂 Had one bird following us for quite a distance which was super cute and amusing. Polite staff at the ticketing counter. Would definitely visit again.

    A MUST SEE!!! Don’t pass this place without going in. Worth every cent! You can park on site cheaply. Gorgeous birds from all over the world flying and walking freely around you. Very few caged. Floor can be wet especially around water fall so wear comfortable shoes that won’t slip. Expect to spend a few hours in there.

    Beauitful Place, lots of birds and lots to see and learn. Great Covid distancing, feeding birds, learning about the large parrots seeing the nocturnals. Takes about 1.5 hours. Buy online or groupon before going otherwise quite expensive. Loved it.

    My husband and I had a pleasant time, certainly. Such very interesting birds, tortoises, Iguana, etc. There was one little bird, in the 3rd floor bird sanctuary, that really favoured spending time on my husband's shoulder and pecking at his neck. (Very softly.) It sure like the taste of a little bit of saltiness off his sweat from the warmth of the day, and bird sanctuary. The bird there for a good 10 minutes! Eventually it flew away, when I'd been gone to go get some help to figure out how to safely get it off (apparently it only needs a light nudge). The bird ended being the one item that was controlling our time... otherwise the time is more freely spent in the building.

    The bird kingdom is one of my favourite places in the world to visit. It can be incredibly calming. Generally I'll sit in the small free-fly aviary for about an hour to watch the birds do their thing. Highly recommended for people of all ages!

    100/100 RECOMMEND!! It’s humid until you get into the Aviary. But beautiful birds and other small creatures are everywhere. The big birds are getting retrained to be handled by the public again due to COVID but there is a part in the Aviary that you are able to take pictures with the smaller parakeets I believe. It was so beautiful, they roamed freely and they were not scared of the people.

    I loved Bird Kingdom. I have an aviary of my own so it was a blast seeing on that was so large and had such a variety of birds. My husband and I went in a busy weekend, but we were able to find parking and it was large enough that it didn’t feel overcrowded. The birds were a joy to watch. I could have spent all day in there. Also, if you like photography at all this place offers lots of opportunities for some great pictures. My husband commented on how clean and well cared for the area was. They do a nice job and it was well worth the price of admission.

    First time being in the Bird Kingdom, I knew this was one of the best attractions in Niagara Falls and it is the largest free-flying indoor aviary in the world. When we went inside, we could smell the scent of birds. We didn't have to spend much time lining up. I think it's a pretty cool place and they also showcase the history of the museum, such as how it transformed into the Bird Kingdom. They have a few levels and different kinds of birds. The birds would just walk up to you, and they aren't scared. Maybe they are used to it. One of the birds can also strike a pose and say "Hi" to you. It's pretty interesting and an amazing place to see many birds in one location. Besides birds, they also have other animals like snakes, turtles, and more. It's perfect for a family event.

    I had an amazing experience at Bird Kingdom! It definitely was one of my top favorite activities in Niagara Falls. The atmosphere was so relaxing, and I appreciated being able to explore at my own pace. The variety of birds and other fascinating amphibians was truly impressive. Without a doubt, the experience was worth every penny and more!🕊️🦚

    This was such a nice place to visit! You can take your time and slowly walk your way through, expect at least an hour. Lots to take in! For one Adult pass it came to $22.55. One of the staff had a few of the birds out in the reptile area, and she introduced us to each bird and showed us some tricks they could do. This was my favourite part. Especially Jacky the blue and golden macaw who waved and said hello to us! (video posted) More than just birds to see! We saw turtles, frogs, bats, a snake, Tarantula, axolotl, fish, skunk… With the use of the elevators, I think most areas are accessible to wheelchairs and strollers.

    Had a blast here with my son and husband. The birds are so beautiful and fly around you as you walk around. We paid the extra $5 each to feed them. They give you nectar to hold in a little cup and the birds sit on ur arm and drink it. So cute. Definitely recommend going early right when they open to avoid long lines.

    I loved my experience here. the birds are allowed to freely roam in the rooms. we got to feed some of them at the end of our visit (5$ extra, worth it). the parrots were my favourite birds. they are very well behaved and talkative. note that it is quite warm in there, so dress lightly. there were other animals as well, such as turtles, bats, spider, skunks and fish.

    Imagine you enter a huge bird house and are surrounded by all different kinds of tropical birds, that's how it feels when entering the bird kingdom. It's amazing! It's a bit humid and warm inside, so be prepared! The best part is the bird feeding. The birds will actually fly to you for the food. But we can't take pictures of it. Also before entering the grand hall of birds, there are other animals in display, eg. frogs, turtles,bats, lizards etc. Fun to watch them,too!

    Parking is a little tricky in a compact garage. Cost is $4/hr. Purchased tickets on line and saved $2 per ticket Cost of nectar cup is $5 We got a photo printed out for a little over $10 And reasonably priced souvenirs were available. The building itself has a lot of character. It is a little confusing to know exactly where you're going. The main aviary is the LAST LEVEL And once you leave there is no re entry so take your times in the other areas. The bird feeding is in the main aviary. Special highlights were endangered species of not only birds, but tortoise and axolotl We will definitely visit again, parking somewhere else and taking our time.

    An Enchanting Valentine's Day Escape at Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls! For those seeking a unique and magical experience for their early Valentine's Day date, look no further than Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Nestled in the heart of one of nature's wonders, this aviary is a paradise for bird lovers and romantics alike. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the serene beauty of the lush tropical gardens and the melodious chirping of the exotic birds. It was like stepping into a tropical oasis right in the heart of Niagara Falls. We opted for the extra special feeding experience, and let me tell you, it was worth every penny! Getting up close and personal with these majestic creatures as they gracefully swooped down to enjoy their meal was an experience we'll never forget. The joy on their faces as they indulged in their favorite treats was truly heartwarming. But what truly set this experience apart was the soothing soundtrack of cascading waterfalls, creating a mesmerizing ASMR effect that enhanced the entire atmosphere. It was like being serenaded by nature herself, adding an extra layer of tranquility to our romantic outing. The staff at Bird Kingdom were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their feathered friends, eagerly sharing fascinating facts and stories about the various species we encountered along the way. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and it made our visit all the more enjoyable. Whether you're a bird enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply looking for a unique and romantic outing, Bird Kingdom is an absolute must-visit. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, connect with the fascinating world of birds, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We can't recommend it highly enough!

    Beautiful large area, and is definitely worth 15$. Make sure you go on Groupon for a deal. The place has good bird interaction and even a small museum. Would definitely recommend visiting.

  • 5/5 Chris J. 3 years ago on Google
    The first part of the journey takes you up a few flights of stairs through rather typical exhibits that include a good variety of birds and other small animals. Once you reach the top floor you descend through an amazing core exhibit designed to look like a jungle. Here you can get very close to a wide range of beautiful birds. Truly a fun experience for people of all ages. CAA Members save on the price of admission. Parking is onsite and very reasonable.

  • 5/5 Violet C. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is so fun. It starts with an old ticket taker window which is so pretty, then an old Niagara museum, which is a nice surprise. It's also not just birds. They take you through all kinds of animal displays; lizards, frogs, spiders, snakes and bats too! The staff as super knowledgeable and share with guests about the parrots on display and other birds too. I love how everything is themed like it is an adventure through a forgotten city. (Indiana Jones) The last big room is breathtaking, spectacular views - even for an adult this place is magical. There is a feeding area where you can get up close with a few birds. Because of covid there's less people so the line is shorter than usual. (Take advantage!!) There's even a beautiful old tea house there. Just go, you will have a great time! Be warned though, the gift shop is the last stop and pretty big to walk through--- there are so many squishy fun things that kids will get really distracted!

  • 4/5 vinsfy j. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Dylan C. 3 years ago on Google
    Really nice spot, there are basically two amazing spots with your generic filler history in between. Unless you're a history buff, I highly recommend skipping the history sections and spending as much time as possible in the aviaries, which are big open rooms filled with birds. Sitting in the first aviary with little birds hopping around is wonderful, and the second aviary is a massive open room full of a variety of tropical birds just wandering around. It's super cool and definitely worth the $12.

    I found a good offer for the tickets on Groupon. I didn’t know the place before so I decided to go and explore. And it didn’t disappoint. The place is fairly big with diverse animals and birds. My kids were so thrilled to hear a parrot saying hii! And seeing a 100 old turtle was a new thing for me. The aviary garden was so beautiful with its exotic trees and plants. Over all the place is a must see for families with kids, and expect to spend at least an hour there.

    I was hesitant to go at first because I’m very much against animal captivity and was afraid to give money to something that could potentially be cruel or exploitive, however they take such good care of their birds and I was happy to find out that a lot of their birds are rescued (mostly from people that couldn’t take care of them anymore). The employees were super friendly and very knowledgeable & bird-savvy. The birds have beautiful, well-kept large enclosures; and most of the birds have large, open rooms to fly where ever they want. I was also impressed with how hard they try to emulate their natural habitat, with a huge rainforest glass dome with little ponds, a waterfall and hundreds of tropical trees and plants. It was definitely worth the money, especially after seeing how much of it goes towards the care of the birds! :)

    Sad to see many of these birds in small cages showing signs of stress...they do have a bigger enclosure where they are free to fly as birds should ....never going back but thank you to the trainer who I complained to about the poor bird chewing on his feet and unable to stand on it he immediately called on the bird medic she did take a look sorry I have no names to give you credit

  • 5/5 Sjb D. 3 years ago on Google
    It was fun liked how it's indoor and you can get up close with many beautiful birds and some not so much, I definitely recommend for dates , family's or even those that are curious , and love birds my favourite room was with the small birds I was able to get a few to land on me and one on my finger , and one of the staff members were really nice and talked about the parrots and I leaned that sometimes animals , birds in this case should be in a place like this to let many people be able to experience having or being around wild birds instead of being a pet some of these birds get to over 50 years old that's a long time to have a loud parrot if u ask me , alot of the birds they have were people's pets

    This is our second trip to Bird Kingdom and it won't be our last. Everything is well thought out in regards to COVID 19. We felt safe with all the policies in place. I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old and they both loved the experience. Aviary is beautiful with a wide variety of birds. We got to feed the lorkeets which was a blast. Overall a great place to bring the family. You won't be disappointed!

    Loved the entire excursion except for the volume of people at the attraction social distancing was difficult to accomplish the entire time so be aware of that before you enter! Otherwise wonderful birds and more animals as well!

    We really enjoyed our time here. A unique experience you can still appreciate and enjoy during covid. Hopefully the company is really truthful about how they obtain and take care of the animals. The birds seem to be happy when we went. Glad we came to see the beautiful birds and other fauna in their (almost) natural home

    Thought it would be bigger and disappointed in the feeding the Lorikeets experience but its a great place .

    My daughter is going through a phase where she is obsessed with birds (1.5 years old) was so happy I brought her here. The bird feeding made her entire day. So many beautiful birds and such a clean, beautiful place to visit. Highly recommend!

    Great place to visit if you are a bird lover. They used to let you hold a parrot at the pre-COVID times, hopefully it will resume in the future. We loved the feeding encounter where you can feed the birds and make really cool photos - it’s also included in your entrance ticket, so there are no extra charges. Also, there used to be annoying photographers who will later sell you the photos, but they are not there anymore. We bought tickets on groupon, since there was a good discount - but remember that you still need to pay tax at the entrance. Definitely recommend this place to visit!

  • 4/5 JeninCanada 2 years ago on Google
    A good spot to spend an hour or so. The birds are all pretty friendly and the main aviary is enormous and well taken care of. Parking on site is inexpensive.

    When you think of Niagara Falls, you probably don't think of the Bird Kingdom, but you actually should, because to me, it's one of the better attractions. The signage out front needs some major updating, as do some spots here and there inside. The entry fee is ridiculous too. But other than that, it's quite cool. They have more than just birds too. They have a donated animal section that features some tortoises for instance. They also have a nocturnal section which was surprisingly neat too. The best is last, which is the massive enclosure where the big birds are, flying around in their habitat and you get to walk right through the 3 levels. Next time you're in the Niagara region, check out this attraction, you probably won't regret it. 4/5.

  • 5/5 Sanal K. 1 year ago on Google
    The quality of a bird kingdom is dictated by the health of the birds in there. This conservation felt like a sanctuary for all birds. They were well fed and had great energy. The initial two aviary really sets your expectations low until you reach the main aviary. It was very well maintained and had lot of tropical plant species. There is a waterfall and a large cage for feeding birds. Cameras are restricted within the cage for obvious reasons. The kids enjoyed the close encounter feeding sessions within the cage. If you are a photographer you would love how they have staged the aviary. All of the aviaries were beautiful and is a must see if you visit Niagara. The place is conveniently located facing the Niagara with dedicated parking spots. If you are visiting during the weekdays you will definitely get a parking spot. Weekends can get really busy. Overall 5/5

  • 5/5 The R. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought 2 tickets off of Groupon for $15 each which was defiantly worth it! There is a HUGE array of birds an animals. The staff are extremely knowledgeable. One staff member was showing us different tricks the birds can do - it was nice to hear that if the birds do not want to go the viewing perch area they are not forced to they can remain in the aviary. The birds looked well taken care of and healthy. There were also bats, spiders, turtles, frogs, fish for viewing as well. The open aviary is magical. There are different floors with different birds on each floor. Birds are flying and lounging all over. You are able to feed birds nectar as well. The only annoying part of that is they will take a photo of you feeding the birds but you aren't allowed to take photos with your own camera. Essentially you must pay 10$ in order to obtain a electronic copy of the photo. That's the only part that was annoying. Everything else was GREAT!

    At first I thought this place was underwhelming with the museum and small bird area. But at the end when you get into the HUGE bird sanctuary, it was worth every penny! It was absolutely breathtaking, so serene and stunning all in one. Very well done. It was great for us as adults and our toddler who enjoyed pointing and waving at the birds. Loves this place and will return!

  • 5/5 Cirrus S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place belongs to all bird lovers. You will get a lot of information and interesting facts here, but the biggest attraction is feeding the parrots and walk-in cages. The big plus for me is the real Axolotl. Definitely a great place when it's raining or cold outside. Suitable for families with children. Be careful not to be pooped on by the birds. 🦜💩

  • 5/5 Scarlett L. 10 months ago on Google
    I have visited Bird Kingdom 4 times over the last few years with friends and family. I absolutely love this place. They have so many different types of birds and the best part is that most of the birds are free roaming, meaning that they are not kept in cages and visitors are able to get close to them. This makes the experience really fun and immersive. Bird Kingdom also has some animals that are not birds such as turtles, sugar gliders, frogs and lizards. The ticket prices are affordable, the staff are friendly, and all of the animals seem well taken care of. I would highly recommend coming here if you like birds.

  • 5/5 sej p. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place to visit with kids or without kids. They have so many different types of birds from a different places. The best time to visit the bird kingdom is during the weekdays because then you can take your time to see all the birds this is my opinion but everyone have their own choice and convenience. thank you

  • 5/5 syed usman s. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful place and a beautiful experience. Kept clean despite so many birds flying around. I feel they need a staff member by every corner or for every bird place.. no in hand experience other than one bird. I miss the macaw holding experience.

  • 5/5 Jose C. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place with variety of beautiful birds, turtles etc. it’s a great for everyone especially kids. Lots of parking and it even has many antiques inside. The gift store has a lot of stuff which you can keep to memorize your visit.

  • 5/5 Kevin W. 8 months ago on Google
    Easy to get to from the hotel area, On site parking. Great experience. Its in an old factory with original floors and doors.Lots of cool antique stuff to see. The aviary is set up to look like ancient ruins in a jungle. Lots of work went into the creation of this place. Its well worth the time to visit.

  • 5/5 Mark F. 8 months ago on Google
    Visited with my wife and three kids 18-23. We had a great time. The first part (Niagara museum) wasn't particularly interesting to us but the aviaries and mammal exhibits were a big hit.

  • 5/5 Gwenyth C. 8 months ago on Google
    I love the birds so much! All of them had so much personality!! My partner and I purchased tickets to feed the lorikeets, and they were all over us! (They especially loved him, though)! They also had some other animals, including an albino turtle, frogs, axolotyls, and more! If you want to walk amongst tons of birds who will waddle after you, fly over your head, and chill, I know you'd love to be here!

  • 5/5 Nicholas N. 8 months ago on Google
    It is fun and educational, birds pretty much from every continent, also turtles, the staff very knowledgeable. The kids loved it. My only gripe, is that the parking machine was out of order, so I had to pay at the front counter.

  • 5/5 nina m. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing!! Lots to explore, array of different birds and other species. Pay $5 and can feed nectar to certain birds!! We were there for 1.25 hrs, recommend planning ahead and staying longer to take your time and explore more! Especially when they close at 6:30pm. They do have paid parking on site by the hour but there is parking all around that area for a flat fee for the day!

  • 5/5 Syed Tajammul R. 7 months ago on Google
    Yes, Bird Kingdom is indeed a great place to visit if you are a fan of birds. It is located in Niagara Falls, Canada, and is the largest free-flying indoor aviary in the world. their natural environments, giving visitors a chance to see these birds up close and personal. Additionally, the tropical rainforest setting adds to the overall ambiance and beauty of the place. It is definitely a must-visit for bird lovers or anyone interested in witnessing the diverse and colorful world of birds.

  • 5/5 Stefany L. 7 months ago on Google
    This place seriously impressed us. The price is absolutely reasonable, especially considering this is Niagara Falls where price gouging is common practice. The aviaries are beautiful and well maintained. Very clean considering there are birds free flying everywhere. The birds look healthy. There are so many species I, as an adult who's been to many zoos, had never seen or heard of before. This doesn't even include all the really cool other animals you get to see. The staff was kind, friendly and joked with our boys. The extra $5 to feed the lorikeets were an absolute hit with our kiddos. I would absolutely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. A+!!!

  • 5/5 Tayla P. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved this place!! Birds roam free it’s amazing. Many different species. So many other types of animals as well (turtles, skunks, axolotls, etc…) Makes you really appreciate birds and the calmness they can bring when you’re walking through.

  • 5/5 Rick E. 5 months ago on Google
    We had a great time at Bird Kingdom. The staff were very interactive with the birds and there was a lot to see. There are not just birds but also other animals to see before getting to the main area. I’d highly recommend this place for families.

  • 5/5 Eric H. 5 months ago on Google
    This was SO much fun!!! We got to hear the Kookaburra do it's thing! So many amazing birds and some other animals too! I was afraid my allergies would act up in enclosed spaces but I was OK. The smaller aviary was fun with all the birds flying around you. Feeding the birds was fun too. I never did that before so it was a great new experience for me!

  • 5/5 amber w. 7 months ago on Google
    Very informative experience! The bird handler with the purple hair was AWESOME. She answered questions and even got the bird to make his calling noise! She was the friendliest person in the entire place. The ladies at the checkout were a bit sour but I didn’t let that effect my time. The birds were so cool and the exhibits we fun and informative. I would highly recommend feed the birds since that was one of the best experiences.

  • 3/5 Elizabeth T. 7 months ago on Google
    It was a relatively cool experience and definitely fun to do one time. Not sure we would go back for the price you pay, but we did enjoy the time we spent there. My favorite part was the first small room you go into. There were a lot of small birds flying all around the room, sometimes right over your head. The second area had some rare animals (not birds). Most of them you were unable to see in their cages, but the ones that you could see were interesting. Make sure you know how many people want to do the Lorikeet landing feeding ahead of time. Once you go into the aviary, you can't come back out to the main lobby and pay for more. When feeding the birds, they have you stand along the cage wall and they bring the birds to you. You can have your whole group go into the area but only one person can hold the cup of food. If more than one person wants to hold it, you'll need to purchase more than one cup. It's $5 each cup. If you are thinking of feeding the birds, be aware that sometimes they will poop/pee on you. The parking lot is small but is a very fair price compared to what a lot of other places in the falls charge. The gift shop is extensive but pricey. Fun to window shop though. All in all, a positive one time experience.

    Nice so beautiful I love this place in Niagara And Do you love birds? If so, you'll love the amazing bird kingdom at Niagara Falls Bird Kingdom! This conservatory features more than 1,000 birds from all over the world, including toucans, macaws, and ostriches. You can also explore the beautiful white water walk, enjoy a meal at the on-site restaurant, or take a tour of the aviary.

  • 5/5 Chin-Hsuan C. 7 months ago on Google
    There are lots of bird species. Some walked/flew close to people, while some stayed far away on branches. The lorikeet feeding is in the main aviary and it costs an extra $5. Though the feeding time is kinda short, it was still a very delightful experience! Overall I spent 2.5 hours inside. It was very fun to watch the birds (especially parrots), and I highly recommend it to bird lovers.

  • 5/5 Gaganpreet S. 3 months ago on Google New
    It was worth a visit. The birds that they have aren't a common everyday sight. I loved every bit of it. It's so well maintained, such a beautiful place. It's for people like me who want to get an experience of the jungle without being in the jungle.

  • 5/5 Andrew C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Had a really fun time here at this unique experience. Location is a bit off the main strip and I think it is more exciting than the touristy places there. Very unexpected and a lot of unique animals! Very worth the money and time.

  • 5/5 Naíme Veiga Faria N. 3 months ago on Google New
    Amazing! At 11:30am you can go with the staff while he feeds the birds and learn more about the birds and the place. At 10-11am you can go to the feeder and feed the little birds. It was a great experience.

  • 5/5 Ashley Szymanski (Ashley S. 4 months ago on Google
    Surpassed my expectations! Lots of beautiful and plentiful exhibits and rooms. There were so many different types of birds and other small creatures such as white tailed skunk, bats, amphibians and axolotl! Cost was very reasonable and they even have an online coupon that can be used. We spent a little less than 2 hours there but could have spent all day if we made it there earlier before closing. Lots of birds walking and flying around in their atrium and even got to feed some of the birds for a small extra charge. Everyone was so nice and provided lots of educational opportunities for all ages. Definitely recommend making this a stop to enjoy this beautiful bird kingdom.

  • 5/5 Jana F. 3 months ago on Google New
    Wow, my daughter enjoyed feeding these beautiful birds so much that she made me promise to come back here whenever we come to Niagara. Beautiful and unique birds. I recommend this place, it is worth visiting.
