Parrot Mountain and Gardens

"Parrot Mountain and Gardens is one of those places that seems expensive at first glance, but ends up being completely worth it once you’re inside. The standout is the middle section where you can hold, pet, and interact with a wide variety of birds. That alone makes the experience feel special and genuinely different from most attractions in the area. Being able to get up close with so many birds is not something you find everywhere, and the staff does a great job keeping things organized while still letting it feel hands on and relaxed. It’s educational without feeling like a lesson and fun without being chaotic. For us, the real win was watching our bird loving daughter light up. She was absolutely in heaven and would have stayed there all day if we let her. If you’re traveling with animal lovers or want a truly unique experience, this is an easy recommendation."

"I am absolutely blown away by this place. My other half told me about it and we decided to go for his birthday. He’s a bird person, I am not because I never had any experience with them in the past. The grounds and landscape of Parrot Mountain was BEAUTIFUL. The prayer gardens made me feel like I was in a totally different place. Absolutely breathtaking, I can’t express that enough. Stunning and IYKYK. We were lucky enough to have Shar walk with us. She ran the place and knew everything about every bird. She took the time to handle the birds with us, answer questions, and got them to talk and play with us. You were able to hold the birds and pet them and I never handled birds before so I was uncertain with how I would feel. But I felt so comfortable with them and had the best time. Everyone who works here are friendly and incredible. You MUST PAY THE EXTRA FEW DOLLARS TO FEED THE BIRDS. They fly all over you and it was hilarious. Trust me on this!! And bring quarters for the feed machines. I can’t wait to go back. It probably is my new favorite place. Book your trip and bring your camera. You’re going to love it. And thank you, Shar!!! You were the absolute best!!"

"A must see! It’s amazing if you love birds. Hundreds of birds, exotic birds and the staff is so friendly! A bird lovers paradise! A fair amount of walking is required and a bit steep so not ideal for strollers or wheelchairs. A great experience and will do this every year!!"
