Tropical Treasures

Tropical Treasures is designed as an immersive collection of tropical aviaries where guests can experience colorful and unique bird species from around the world. Rather than simply viewing animals from a distance, guests are surrounded by lush landscaping and the sights and sounds of tropical bird life, with a future walk-through aviary creating an even more immersive experience.

Check Out Our Progress!

Phase 1 and Phase 2 of our new Tropical Treasures complex are complete! The complex now includes 16 aviaries housing resident birds, all accessible for guests to enjoy.

The next major step is Phase 3: the walkthrough aviary, which will be the centerpiece of the Tropical Treasures experience.

What’s Next?

Phase 3 will bring the full vision for Tropical Treasures to life with a large, immersive walkthrough aviary where guests can step inside the habitat and experience free-flying birds all around them.

The final phase will also include:

  • Further habitat landscaping and naturalization
  • Final habitat enhancements and finishing touches
  • Interpretive signage to help guests learn about the species and conservation efforts represented throughout Tropical Treasures

We’re excited to see Tropical Treasures continue to take shape and can’t wait to welcome you when the full complex is complete!

Why It Matters

Tropical Treasures is more than a collection of aviaries. The project expands the Wildlife Center’s ability to provide exceptional care for a wider variety of tropical birds, including species of conservation concern, while giving guests new opportunities to connect with and learn about bird life from around the world. It also creates additional opportunities to work with zoological institutions, breeding programs, and conservation partners to help support the long-term sustainability of these species.
