My husband made reservations for my birthday and it was perfect. The birds were so funny and beautiful. It was such a peaceful and fun way to spend time. Highly recommend for a fun afternoon and it's close to restaurants, so you can feed the birds and then go get a meal yourself!

It was a lovely place to visit and feed the birds and koi. I went with a group and we all had a wonderful time. The volunteers clearly adore the birds.
