If your kid loves animals
Seeing lions, tigers and bears has stood the test of time when it comes to classic kid entertainment. Surprise your animal lover with a zoo membership or an aquarium pass. For roughly the cost of a few medium-size Lego sets, you can purchase a customizable annual pass to Woodland Park Zoo for your family and visit as often as your little zoologist desires.
For South Sound families, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium’s 29 acres are home to captivating zoo animals from around the world, the spectacular Pacific Seas Aquarium and a playground that’s hard to beat. Combo memberships include admission to its sister zoo, Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville. This uniquely Northwest park features an area where animals roam freely, allowing visitors close-up views of elk, bison, moose and other critters as they take the narrated Discovery Tram Tour. Animal keeper chats and the awesome Kids’ Trek playground are other highlights.
Cougar-crazy kids will love a trip to Issaquah’s Cougar Mountain Zoo, where they can see the big cats along with wolves, wallabies and other creatures.
