| Woodland Park Zoo |
Located on 92 acres just minutes from downtown Seattle, Woodland Park Zoo is renowned for its award-winning naturalistic animal exhibits and innovative programs. Exhibiting nearly 1,100 animals representing almost 300 different species, the zoo is a time-honored tradition for families throughout the Puget Sound region and beyond. The zoo is also dedicated to wildlife conservation, with more than 43 projects in 30 countries around the world, protecting everything from elephants to butterflies. The zoo's horticultural collection is equally compelling with thousands of species of trees, plants, shrubs and flowers and a noted rose garden which displays new and experimental varieties each year.
