Northwest Trek Wildlife Park
This spectacular, 723-acre wildlife park 30 miles southeast of Tacoma is devoted to native creatures of the Pacific Northwest. Walking paths wind through natural surroundings, and you can see beavers, otters, and wolverines; get close to wolves, foxes, coyotes; and observe several species of big cats and bears in wild environments. Another option is to book the separate Wild Drive Premier Tour, which lets you slowly explore the park grounds from your own car, near free-roaming bison, elk, mountain goats, caribou, and a female moose named Aspen.
