The National Aviary has more to offer your students than ever before, but we know it can be difficult to experience everything we have to offer while chaperoning a bus full of excited students. That's why we offer free admission once each year to preschool - 12th grade teachers at schools in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland. Use your free visit to familiarize yourself with our exhibits, prepare for a field trip, or just have a good time!
