Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium
(Attractions & Activities - Zoos)
5400 N Pearl St, Tacoma  98407 • 253-591-5337 • 253-404-3678
Distance: ~22.81 mi from The Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Seattle
        Description: The novelty of seeing land animals and marine creatures in one place makes Point Defiance an attractive prospect. Its 29 acres are divided into themed areas like Rocky Shores/Tundra, Wild Wonders, North Pacific Aquarium, and Asian Forest Sanctuary, which features endangered primates and tigers in an approximation of their natural habitats. Rare beluga whales are also a draw. Free parking, spectacular views of surrounding scenery, and plenty of eating and shopping options keep happy visitors coming back.
