Zoos & Wildlife Back to Top
Northwest Trek Wildlife Park
Located in Eatonville, this 615-acre park has a little bit of everything: lakes, trails, meadows and plenty of animals. Northwest Trek is home to more than 200 North American animals. See bighorn sheep, deer, Roosevelt elk, woodland caribou, mountain goats, bison and more up close from comfortable trams while touring the free-roaming area. Walk forested pathways to view grizzlies, black bears, wolves, bobcats, lynx, cougars, owls, eagles and wetland animals in beautiful natural exhibits. Five miles of nature trails await exploration and the Cheney Discovery Center offers exciting hands-on experiences.
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium
With the broad blue expanse of Puget Sound as a backdrop, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is not only one of the top zoos in the country, it is amongst the most beautiful. Nestled on the 29 acres inside the 700-acre Tacoma, Wash park, this zoo & aquarium brings you eye to eye with beluga whales, playful pachyderms, curious polar bear cubs, intriguing sharks, and brilliant reptiles.
Seattle Aquarium
Activate all your senses and surround yourself by the Sound. The Seattle Aquarium features exciting new exhibits for you to see, touch and explore. Grab a guide and gain an even more meaningful marine experience. And don't forget to check back often because our exhibits are changing faster than a brine shrimp sheds his shell and growing quicker than a kelp forest. Offers educational programs and special events.
Woodland Park Zoological Gardens
Learn about the animal world at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. Highlights include an African Village and Savanna, Discovery Barn, Bug World, and Tropical Rain Forest. Offers educational programs and special exhibits.
