Woodland Park Zoo’s Taste Northwest wines in the zoo’s Northern Trail
WHAT: Get swept away to the rugged and majestic habitat of brown bears and river otters as you sample delicious Northwest wines, cedar plank salmon skewers and mini Washington apple pies at Woodland Park Zoo’s “Northwest Wines in the Northern Trail” wine-tasting event. Guests will also enjoy an exclusive up-close animal encounter or special keeper talk in the signature Northern Trail exhibit.
The Northern Trail is a 6-acre exhibit that transports visitors to three cold, rugged regions of the far north: the weather-stunted forests of the taiga, the treeless plains of the tundra and the high crags of the montane. Animal residents include grizzly bears, wolves, elk, river otters, mountain goats and bald eagles. The expansive exhibit contains seven distinct plant communities ranging from white and black spruce to quaking aspen to dwarf arctic willow. Highlights include a crawl-in wolf den, a bear cave, underwater viewing of grizzlies and river otters, an eagle viewing shelter, and a breathtaking 10-foot curving mural that immerses visitors in the arctic tundra.
