2013 U.S. Go Congress

Buy tickets online and save up to $2.50 per ticket! Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is large enough to offer an awesome array of animals yet small enough for you to get really close to them. It’s fun, affordable and offers breathtaking views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains. Come explore the only combined zoo and aquarium in the Northwest. You’ll see sharks and seahorses, polar bears and peacocks, walruses and wolves, all in one place. Take a spin on the Zoo’s Paul Titus Antique Carousel. The re-created wooden carousel was originally built in 1917 and is housed in the DeFalco Family Pavilion at Milgard Plaza, just inside the Zoo’s front gates. The carousel costs $1 per ride during regular Zoo hours. Smoking is prohibited in all of Tacoma’s parks and facilities
