Tracy Aviary at Liberty Park

Excellent Aviary (Bird Zoo) with a large variety of birds from all over the world. Fun and engaged employees/staff/volunteers. Bo Carr made sure we had a fabulous experience with each grandchild we've taken there. Be sure to get a Dole Whip icy treat and visit the gift store. Clean environment and fun for kids of all ages... 1-99!

An absolute hidden gem. This is one of my favorite spots in the city. One of the only freestanding, public aviaries in the entire country. They have so many bird species, a fabulous daily show, and an incredible variety of plants all through the garden. I get an annual pass every year. It's a great place to take a quiet walk. Fun for the family or for date night. Not to mention Dole Whip at the Birdfeeder cafe. Please support awesome little attractions like this. We want to keep things like this going for years to come. Consider picking up an annual pass. It's a cheap way to ensure that the aviary can support the birds as well as the people to take care of them.

I had so much fun there. :) It's a reasonable admission price. There's a wide variety of activities, even interactive ones with the birds (for an additional cost). A cafe has light refreshments, and a gift shop has souvenirs and snacks. :) I recommend bringing a bag with a bottle for water, a hat, and sunblock. There's also decent amount of benches along the paths. :) So many different kinds of birds! My favorites were the owls. 😊❤️🦉

Super fun aviary! The highlight of my visit was the scheduled show and demonstration - I highly recommend catching one of the daily shows. Very extensive variety of birds. The trees and landscaping make for an especially enjoyable visit. We had two 7 year olds who loved it - so very kid friendly.

was pleasantly surprised of what I saw. This place has improved 10 fold. The different bird species is amazing to watch. For all ages. The Aviary offers learning opportunities for individuals and groups where you get an up close opportunity to interact with certain birds. My favorite was the Flamingos. They had two new chicks being protected by their parents. You were able to get close enough to watch their parents feed them and tuck them tightly under the warmth of a parents wing. The owl exhibit was also amazing and allows you an up close personal experience.

A great place to see many interesting birds that you wont easily see in the wild. It’s best to come earlier in the morning while the birds are roaming and singing. Here, you see the birds from different continents and appreciate the vastness of this world. There are two indoor pavilions and the rest are outside. The owls are in a forest patch. The eagles are hiding often, and the toucans are lively. No feeding. But it’s a good idea to bring snacks for yourself.

Had the best date night at Tracy Aviary. It is so beautiful. I loved seeing all the birds. The only issue we had is we really wanted a dole whip and the machine was broken. I can't wait to come back at Christmas time for the Christmas lights

A splendid place to visit! Parking is easy, the collection of birds is great, the plants are well labeled, and the overall value for admission is fantastic. This is a crowd pleaser that folks of all ages will enjoy. You can pop in for a quick (c. 1 hour) visit or take your time and spend the whole afternoon here. I highly recommended checking if you can time your visit to catch some of the daily shows and/or seasonal events. I've been to zoos across the United States and Europe and, let me tell you, this is a gem. It may be a small zoo, but they make the most of it and fill it with a good variety of birds. They seem well cared for too, and we got to see a good variety of birds behaviors during our visit (we came in the afternoon). As a botanist, I enjoyed their choices of plants (they have cannonball trees in their tropical house!). The signage for the birds is top quality: clear, consise, informative, and full of interesting facts that people of all education levels can enjoy. Our group was composed of a low-attention span kiddo, a cranky hard-to-impress teenager, my elderly asian grandmother, and my parents... and we all had a really great time! This is one of the best places to visit in Salt Lake City; definitely check it out!
