Why Kids ♥ It

What could be better than getting up close and personal with some of the most amazing animals on earth? From watching the elephants swim in their pool to racing a cheetah to standing like a flamingo, kids never tire of interacting with their favorite wildlife.

Why Parents ♥ It

The zoo is the perfect outing — kids get a chance to play in nature, expend some energy, and be delighted by wildlife. And it’s a chance for the whole
family to get outside, learn, and have fun together. Plus, the variety of food options has something for everyone (including Oregon beer and wine for the grown-ups!), and there are plenty of indoor viewing options as well, so the zoo is appealing no matter the weather.
