Up Close to Wildlife

Experience the awe and wonder of Northwest wildlife. Meet a playful beaver or listen for a howling wolf. Kids 'n' Critters weekends are the perfect time to meet animals up close, reconnect with nature, and save money on our best deal of the year.
Discount is available only on tickets purchased at our ticket window.

Play Outside in Nature

Feeling cabin fever? Stretch your wings and meet our bald eagles up close. Build a stick fort, crawl through rope nets or climb a massive "tree trunk" at Kids' Trek, our nature-inspired playground. (Note: our playground may be closed if it's frozen.)

Meet Northwest Animals

Winter weather? No problem. The animals at Northwest Trek are made for the lower temperatures here in the Pacific Northwest! Animals like wolverines and bears have their "winter coats" to stay nice and warm. Don't forget to bring yours, too!
