Point Defiance Zoo & AquariumDescriptionAs the name indicates, this is both a zoo and an aquarium, and both facilities are outstanding. The main theme of Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is the wildlife of the Pacific Rim countries. It is home to animals from such far-flung locations as the Arctic tundra, Southeast Asia, and the Andes Mountains. South Pacific Aquarium features dozens of brightly colored tropical fish, eels, and several shark species. North Pacific Aquarium is home to Northwest native species, including salmon, rockfish, jellies, bay pipefish, giant Pacific octopus and much more. At the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater guests can enjoy exciting animal programs.
