Rocky Shores & Arctic Tundra
At Rocky Shores you can explore a far Northwest world where land and ocean meet; where seabirds nest, sea lions dive, seals splash and otters play.
At Arctic Tundra we’ve created a habitat just like the grassy tundra near Point Hope, Alaska – and filled it with massive muskoxen.
The Arctic fox habitat is currently closed for improvements and is slated to reopen this Summer. Thanks for your patience!

Meet Our Animals
Otterly playful
Anything will do.

Sekiu loves any kind of plaything. Libby's favorite is a rectangular item from a kid's playhouse.

But both of them love the large purple boomer ball - or just snuggling with each other.

Preening with penguins
All in a day's work.
|
On a sunny day staff biologist Amanda Shaffer sat in the penguin habitat with a penguin gently pecking her.
|
While Shaffer scratched the penguin's back, the penguin preened her in return, enjoying the company while other penguins were sitting on eggs.

Protecting Marine Animals
THE THREAT: All marine animals and birds are at risk from ocean threats. Plastic trash chokes and starves; oil spills kill; and overfishing and climate change reduce food.
TAKE ACTION: We can all help protect our oceans by reducing our use of plastic. Bring a reusable water bottle to the Zoo. Skip the straw. Pack lunch sustainably. And tell your friends.
