Animal adventures
Spy some new and favorite critters during these animal encounters.
- Seattle Aquarium’s Ocean Pavilion: Earlier this year, Seattle Aquarium expanded with a brand-new space that brings the Indo-Pacific and Coral Triangle to the Pacific Northwest. Watch eagle rays glide through a 500,000-gallon tank, see coral up-close and learn how the oceans are all connected.
- WildLanterns at Woodland Park Zoo: Woodland Park Zoo’s winter light show showcases critters from near and far in magical fashion. Plus, the zoo’s newly opened Reptile Realm gives you a chance to see Komodo dragons, snakes and other reptiles during the nightly light display.
- Wild and woolly critters: Visit fascinating Northwest Trek to see all of the resident critters interact with their holiday treats and games, Dec. 26–29. To enter the park’s free-roaming area, book a ticket to Wild Drive, during which your fam stays in your car and cruises slowly past amazing animals, such as elk, mountain goats, bison and more.
