Pt. Defiance Zoo & Aquarium
Park · Tacoma, WA
About
Pt. Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is open daily, though hours vary by season. This 100-year-old animal sanctuary in Tacoma's Pt. Defiance Park is a great spot for a date or a relaxing day. You'll find elephants, tigers, sea otters, and seahorses among the many cool animals here. It's also a surprisingly good place to nurse a hangover, surrounded by the animal kingdom.
Weekdays are quieter, if you prefer fewer crowds. The zoo and aquarium are within the same grounds, so you get two experiences in one visit. Nearby, the Museum of Glass offers another cultural stop for a full day out.
