I've been to a few zoo's, San Diego, Portland, etc. and each has it's +'s and -'s. This one is ... well ... a zoo. It's a pretty decent one, and you get to see some neat things, but it is a zoo, so don't expect 'chariots' and 'harps', just expect a decent zoo, a decent enough day, the kids... more

My husband and I decided to take our kids (ages 9 & 10) to Seattle for 5 days. One of our days we went to the Woodland Park zoo. This is a fantastic zoo and great family outing!! We spend 6 1/2hrs at the zoo, my kids cant stop talking about it. There was lots of animals to see, the... more

We had purchased a CityPass for our Seattle trip which included admission to the zoo. The zoo wasn't high on our priority list of things to do but we figured, What the heck? It's paid for, right? We might as well visit. I am SO glad we did! It was one of my favorite parts of the trip. I'm sure... more

We live near a highly rated zoo and we still commented how much we loved visiting this zoo. The biggest thing our whole family agreed upon is how the zoo did a great job of making you feel like you really were in the region of the world the animals were from. In the Asia jungle exhibit you wandered paths... more

Don't expect too much when you come to this zoo. My husband and daughter loved it; but, as an avid traveler myself (visiting many zoos), this was just okay. Look at it as a park with a few animals to see. Most of the animals are out of site this time of year. The zoo doesn't make it very easy... more

My mother, sister, and I and I just visited Woodland Zoo yesterday, June 10 2008, and we loved it. We all really liked the exhibits, and felt that they were well suited for the animals. Before we got there, I was concerned that the exhibits may be, in my opinion, too small, or not nearly comfortable enough for the animals.... more

This zoo advertises itslef as one of the top 10 zoos in America, but I highly doubt that. I would not recommend it. One, the layout of the zoo is poor, and essentially once you start, you have to see almost the whole zoo. Several of the animals right near the entrance were off display. There were few, if any,... more

My family visited this zoo on April 1, 2008 and loved it. We had just been to the San Diego Zoo in Dec. so I was a little concerned that they wouldn't like this one. I think they actually liked it better. The main reason we went was to see the baby gorilla. My 5 yr. old also wanted to... more

The Woodland Park Zoo is one of the best zoos that I have ever been to. I live in Seattle, so I go to the zoo about four or five times a year, and I never get bored. The zoo has excellent enrichment programs for its animals, so they are never bored as well. In addition, their exhibits are extremely... more
