At one end of the park, near the swim-in snack area and the lazy river, there is an Aviary. You can walk into the area from the park or you can exit the lazy river and climb the stairs to a separate door.
As you enter the area, there is a cart to get a container of food. As you walk around the three areas, you hold out your arm and wait for a bird to fly down and get some food. You feel pretty stupid for a minute when you realize that the birds are ignoring you but it is pretty cool when a bird lands on your arm. After after a few minutes, some of the bigger birds get heavy and you want to pass them to another person — that is pretty fun as well.
There are laminated sheets telling you the names of all the birds in the area so you can see what bird you were able to feed. I didn’t think about it at the time, but these areas are very clean and do not smell at all. Both times we visited, at least one of the areas was being cleaned.
This seems so simple but it was so fun we did it twice. The second time we just dropped by as we were floating by on the lazy river.
