Bird Kingdom

Set inside a historic riverside building a short walk from the falls, Bird Kingdom recreates a layered tropical rainforest where hundreds of colourful birds fly loose among treetop walkways and cascading water features. Beyond the main aviary, the attraction adds a night-themed room, small reptiles and hands-on encounters that appeal to younger visitors and dedicated birdwatchers alike.

As a year-round indoor attraction served by an elevator between its levels, it works well on rainy days or as a calmer change of pace from the outdoor sights along the gorge.

Plan an indoor visit

Bird Kingdom is at 5651 River Road, Ontario. The operator suggests roughly 45–60 minutes and lists daily hours of 9am–6:30pm, with last admission at 5:30pm. Check current hours and choose the correct age category in the official ticket shop before paying.
