World of Birds 50th Anniversary

First opened in 1972, World of Birds covers 30,000 square feet and is home to 1,500 birds ranging from the Sulawesi knobbed hornbill to the ocellated turkey. Inside, there are habitats from all over the world–deserts, rainforests with waterfalls and simulated storms, forests, and more. Join us as we celebrate this iconic exhibit with two special Member events, exclusively for our Limited Zoos, Zoos PLUS, Land & Sea, and Conservation-level Members.
