Calling all birders! We heard your cry for more access during peak birding hours. In 2026, all birders can join us for Early Bird Wednesdays with exclusive direct access to the Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve from 7am-10am. Bring your binoculars, and water bottles, and be sure to wear your hats and comfortable shoes.
This event is included with the price of museum admission, and all El Rancho de Las Golondrinas members get in free with a reservation. Tickets must be purchased online in advance. Parking permitted in the lot off W Frontage Rd until 10am. Birders are asked to park at the wetland entrance off the Frontage Road and not at the regular Museum entrance, as gates will be closed.
General $10 | Seniors, Teens and Veterans $8 | Las Golondrinas Members and 12 and under free | Tickets here
