Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

Nominated for: BEST Fun Place for Kids BEST Venue

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium 5400 N Pearl St Tacoma WA (253) 591-5337

This Zoo is large enough to offer an awesome array of animals yet small enough to let you get really close to them. It's fun and affordable AND offers breathtaking views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains! Come explore the only combined zoo & aquarium in the Northwest. You'll see seahorses and sharks, peacocks and penguins, wolves and walrus, all in one place. Visit the Asian Forest Sanctuary. Eight vanishing Asian species, including tigers and primates, inhabit this mysterious, multi-acre forest. The Zoo's Asian elephants also take refuge here. The Zoo is a national leader in captive breeding and reintroduction efforts for the endangered red wolf. We also work to help several other endangered species such as Asian elephants and clouded leopards.

we have been members from the time my son was born, this is an awsome zoo for all and offers so much more than the animals, the play zone,food and close parks makes it the best.

Don't forget the aquarium - we got married in front of the shark tank, got great photos in the south pacific exhibit and plenty for family kids to see and do during reception in the north pacific exhibit
