Award-winning exhibits, botanical gardens, and a new Australian-bird-feeding station, Oh my! The Woodland Park Zoo has the amenities of a world-class zoo. Housing over 300 varieties of wildlife, the zoo is praised for its well designed exhibits, where animals roam freely in "natural" habitats. And it's a great place to roam with the entire family. Kids can climb like monkeys through a play yard with rope spider webs, giant gopher burrows, and otter slides.
The Tropical Rain Forest looks like a South American jungle with exotic cats, frogs, birds, and jaguars. The Asian Elephant Forest features elephants in a Thai village setting; and the Northern Trail winds through the mountainous habitats of brown bears, wolves, and mountain goats. The Woodland Park Zoo offers a global wildlife adventure just minutes from downtown Seattle.
