You enter Bird Kingdom into a cafe and gift shop with admission booths and then take an elevator up to the first floor of the aviary. Our "guide" to the elevator was an incredibly friendly man who got the kids excited about seeing the animals.
The first stop is an open room with some reptiles and some parrots. It also has a safari jeep that kids can pose for pictures in.
Bird Kingdom was a big hit with the kids! There are opportunities for the kids to interact with the animals and touch lizards and birds, as well as feed the birds in the Lorikeet Encounter (as seen in the first picture). The second stop is a floor with a big caged in room full of more birds, and an exhibit on bats. There is also an area for children to play in the sand and look for fossils and other exciting things. The bat exhibit was really neat!
The last room of the Bird Kingdom is the real show stopper. With a waterfall, and many bright beautiful birds, it's sincerely a feast for your eyes. This is also where the Lorikeet Encounter is located.
Upon exit, you find yourself back in the gift shop, which is pretty typical of Niagara Falls attractions. This is also where you can purchase photographs of different animal encounters. The photographs are fairly reasonable for this type of thing, I believe that it was approximately $10 for a photo, and I have seen them upwards to $20 in my travels this summer.
I definitely recommend Bird Kingdom as a great adventure for the family, definitely worth the reasonable admission price, especially for animal lovers.
