Woodland Park Zoo (Visit this link)


Woodland Park Zoo earned international bragging rights as the pioneer of naturalistic exhibits when it gave up barred cages in favor of award-winning realistic landscapes. Creatures are grouped together in ecosystem themes instead of by species: Lions are found near African animals, while cougars are near other Northwest natives. Stroll along winding paths of a tropical rain forest--under a canopy of vines and coffee plants--for authentic views of the ever-popular gorillas, poison frogs and other animals that naturally inhabit these forests. The only downside is that you sometimes need a little patience while waiting for the animals to emerge from their hiding places. (By Andrea Burtness)
