Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo is Open During the Winter.

Well, I made it to the zoo in the spring when the flowers first started blooming and I enjoyed myself so much, I made a vow to get back there before the weather turned too cold. A few weeks ago when we still had nice weather, I got the chance to go back. The Woodland Park Zoo is such an amazing way to get away from the buzz of the city and to help me remember how amazing nature is. My favorite animals are probably the giraffes, hippos, and the gorillas. My daughter had a wonderful experience with one of the gorillas. They were touching each other through the glass, admiring one another. Then, along came a group of men and the gorilla ran over to them and got up close to the glass and puffed his chest out as though he was protecting her. It was pretty cool. She got the chance to feed the giraffes this time around, which was also a great experience. Taking the time to relish in all of the sights, sounds, and smells of the zoo is an experience that I will never grow out of and one that I will be sure to allow my child to enjoy often. If you haven't made it to the zoo in awhile, GO! It is still open throughout the year and although the weather will be much cooler, just bundle up and go. In fact, I have never experienced the zoo in the middle of winter. I bet it offers a different opportunity than the birds-chirping, flowers blooming, baby animals running around experience I am used to, since I typically only go in the spring or summer.
