Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium Gate 6

Absolutely love this place! Great place to go friends, go on a date, whatever!

Fun place to go and they help preserve animals going extinct

The Zoo and Aquarium is excellent for Washington State. But this time me and two other friends where here for the Shark Cage Dive program. First off you get a discount if you are a member of the Aquarium and also if you schedule a dive during the weekday. Thus weekends are regular price. The price of the dive includes admission as well. Which worked out because after the fact, we checked the new sea life building that has been finished for a little while now :) It was amazing. extra nice because there where only employees in the building. that was in the afternoon on a Friday. Back to the Shark Dive...you meet outside the sting ray exhibit. they check your id and collect your forms you are to fill out before hand, for emergency contact, allergies or conditions ect. ( I recommend you bring clothes to change into, most likely you will get wet even in the diving suits. Then they take you to a particular room above the Shark Tank. where you will go over facts and what is going to take place to get into the tank. The people that where teaching and helping us, have such a love for the sharks. It was that much more enjoyable because of that :) Don't hesitate! Schedule a scuba dive, if your certified, or a cage dive right now! I 200% recommend this experience. Have fun!

There wasn't much open or available to see for the price of it when we went, STL zoo is so much better and free

Absolutely beautiful zoo! There was some construction happening when we were there so some areas weren't open but it is still amazing. The price was more than reasonable for a zoo and had the bonus of including an aquarium with it. While we were there they had various art sculptures on display that that were made entirely from materials that had washed ashore in the sound. Will definitely visit again when we are back in the area.
