A great visit on a weekday.
Lovely zoo. Small, but well laid out with fantastic spaces for the animals. Also lots of shade trees and places to sit if you wish. Staff was friendly.

Nature walk with animal exhibits
We spent an enjoyable afternoon at the zoo. The day was overcast, and we were there midday on a Thursday, so there were no crowds at all. This zoo has the atmosphere of a park, and even when you’re walking between exhibits, it’s a peaceful experience. A nice respite from the tourist crowds down at Pike Place.

Great Zoo - Exceeded Expectations
This is a fantastic little zoo. Much more than I was expecting. Parking was easy and if you time it right, free street parking is available. The exhibits are well done and in many cases you get some great up close views of the animals. The best part was seeing the baby lions and baby gorillas. A band was also setting up for an event the day we were there. We had a lovely day here and enjoyed avoiding the crowds of Pike's Market and the waterfront for a day.

Animal Adventures
The best zoo I've been to. Very naturalistic enclosures and surroundings to match the country of origin of the animals. I would go back
via Tripadvisor
Okay
Hard to park. Have to pay to park. Great walking paths and lots to see. Not a good time to go at 12:30 most animals were sleeping. Better around 2 pm or 3 pm I imagine.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seattle.
How much does Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seattle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seattle is not rushed.
Is Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 163 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seattle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket?
+
Around 57 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seattle can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seattle and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seattle within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Seattle?
+
Seattle's best days leave the city: Mount Rainier, the San Juans, Olympic National Park and Snoqualmie Falls are all day-trip range, and each one lives or dies on the driver-guide. In town, Pike Place food tours, underground history walks and harbour cruises dominate. Our ranking favours operators with small vans over full coaches on the mountain runs. On Outty we rank every Seattle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle, Seattle City and Snoqualmie Falls Half-Day Guided Tour, Chef Guided Food Tour of Pike Place Market. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Seattle?
+
June to September for clear Rainier views and reliable ferry weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Seattle?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket?
+
Included: Select daily programming. Not included: Food and drinks; Historic Carousel; Animal feeding; and WildLanterns, special events and concerts. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Skip the Line: Daily Admission at Woodland Park Zoo Ticket if the weather is bad?
+
