In Tacoma’s beloved Point Defiance Park, the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium packs two adventures into one ticket: Asian forest animals, red wolves and walruses on land, and two aquariums of sharks, seahorses and tropical fish under the waves.
Kids can ride the vintage carousel, splash at the Kids’ Zone play area, meet animals up close at keeper talks and watch divers hand-feed sharks — all surrounded by old-growth forest trails and Puget Sound views.
It’s the South Sound’s signature family day out: a zoo, an aquarium and a forest park rolled into one happy outing less than an hour from Seattle.
