northwest trek wildlife park印象

We loved all of it. I saw animals In the flesh for the first time. The guided bus tour was fun and informative.

We love visiting the Trek! We go every time we come out to Washington state. The tram travels around the fenced in area where the animals roam freely. Every visit is different. You can also walk the pathways outside the fence to see other animals and birds that live in Washington. There are trail side demos and various informative classes to attend. It is a great place to take the family and spend the day.

If you love to view wildlife, particularly, wildlife of the Pacific Northwest, then you need to visit Northwest Trek. There is an admission but it does include a tram tour which is the best way to see the herds of bison, big horn sheep, & Roosevelt elk. Not only that, but on our tram tour we got to see a moose, trumpeter swans, mountain goats, black tail deer & great heron. The park is beautiful. The docents are very knowledgeable. We wandered the trails and checked out the habitats with a grizzly bear, two new black bears, golden eagles, bald eagles & a turkey vulture. Food was a bit pricey but you are welcome to picnic there with your own fixin's. Our kids enjoyed it (12, 14, & 16). We got some terrific pictures of many animals! We are going back to try the zip line (there wasn't time on our visit).

A very different zoo experience. The biggest part of the large park is a free roaming wildlife area for grazing animals. The most impressive are the Roosevelt Elk and the Bison herd. The tram ride takes you through this whole area and gets you very close to these animals. I have been on safari in Africa and this experience is about as close to a game drive as you get. You see the animals in their natural habitat with no enclosure. Sometimes they are very close and sometimes far away. In addition to the tram ride, there are extensive walking trails that take you from exhibit to exhibit of confined animals but even these animals are in large natural enclosures and the exhibit area is like a research blind where you can spy on them without intruding too much. I had never seen grizzly bears in a wildlife park before and they have 2, likewise for cougar and lynx. I have seen them in Alaska and these were much closer. this place will run you about $20 each but there are lots of special days where admissions are reduced. Plan to spend 2-5 hours.

NW Trek is worth the trip for many reasons.The drive to NW Trek offers amazing views of Mount Rainier. The mountain towers above you as you make your way to NW Trek.Once there, spend an hour walking the paved trails to the different wildlife areas. The animals are in very natural settings and the walk is just a wonderful time in the woods. There are viewing areas and information specific to each animal.The tram ride takes an hour or so and slowly drives through 5 miles of woods, wetlands and meadows. Our guide Jess was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable! We saw lots of animals and birds, often up close and personal. The whole experience was really great! Highly recommended!

This park is an excellent replica of the natural Northwest habitat. The tour guides/tram drivers were very knowledgable about the history of the region and the indigenous wildlife. It felt like I was immersed into the wilds of Washington. The only issue is the variability of what you might actually see as some animals wander off the path areas at certain times.

There was a tram ride that took us through the park and was pretty awesome with the driver telling us all about the animals....we were on our own after that and able to see whatever wildlife we wanted to see

This is a wonderful place to visit with children. It is a little pricey but we got in on our daughter's family membership. The staff are very friendly & the tram ride is great to see so many animals in their native habitat. It is also a good way to get in some exercise. The restaurant has a good variety of food & the fireplace is a nice touch. The gift shop is a fun place to take the grandkids!

call them to see when the babies are out. But anytime of year is great. We prefer early spring anf winter. The new zip line is a blast

What a great time for the whole family. The animals are lose and you ride through the park. All the displays are very natural and you feel like you are immersed in the Northwest ecosystem.
