​Our trips to Pt. Defiance Zoo & Aquarium are one of our most popular destinations. The zoo is set in a beautiful location along the waterfront in Tacoma and has a more compact foot print when compared to larger zoos. This makes viewing all the exhibits doable in a day without getting too footsore. The group will lunch together at one of the local eateries. Remember to dress in layers due to the park's waterfront location. Trip fees do not include admission to the zoo.
