Botanical Garden Tour at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

Cacti. Bamboo. Leaves, trunks, flowers. Did you know the Zoo is also a botanical garden, home to hundreds of varieties of plants from decorative to functional? Zookeepers use some of the plant growth, such as banana leaves and bamboo shoots, as food or skill-building tools for the animals. The plants also create a stunning botanical paradise.
Take a botanical garden tour with one of our horticulturalists and be awed by the power of plants at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.
