Enter a city

Some of the popular exhibits among the various habitats include elephants, gorillas, monkeys, lions and other cats, wolves, river otters, bears, giraffes, gazelles, hyenas, zebra, hippopotamus, white-faced whistling ducks, snakes and lizards, and more. Since it often is rainy in Seattle, there are many indoor displays to enjoy. There's also a most interesting and varied bug and insect display. The Habitat Discovery Loop is a trail in the Temperate Forest where kids can pretend they are wild northwest animals, and also work off some excess energy by playing on a giant spider web, exploring a hollow tree trunk or mountain beaver burrow, and climbing inside turtle shells. This trail is entered from the Family Farm which is a "hands on" petting area.

There are also pony rides, a gift shop, and food pavilion. Woodland Park Zoo is handicappped (wheelchair) accessible and is open every day, but closes earlier in the Winter.
