Parque das Aves opening hours and visit length
How to fit it into your day.
The park is open every day from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., holidays included. The route is self-guided on a paved path of about 2 km. A quick walk takes an hour, and most visitors spend about 3 hours. Do not touch the birds in the walk-in aviaries.
Parking costs BRL 60 per day and the car park runs from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. A locker costs BRL 30 per token. The park entrance of the falls is close, so many people combine both. The falls ticket allows entry from 9 a.m. on weekdays and 8:30 a.m. at weekends, so check both timetables first.
Combine the bird park with the falls
Two popular ways to plan the day.
Bird park in the morning, falls in the afternoon
The bird park opens at 8:30 a.m., so you can finish in time to reach the falls for the afternoon. Remember that falls entry closes at 4 p.m.
Falls first, bird park after
If you start at the falls at 9 a.m., allow about 2 hours there. The bird park is close, but its last entry is limited by the 4:30 p.m. closing. Check the final entry time at the gate.
Take your own transport or go by car
Parking is available at the park. If you go by taxi or ride-hailing app, agree the return trip. See getting there for transfer options.
