Every year on spring break I take my boys on a road trip. My husband usually stays home to work and I take the opportunity to take them somewhere new for all of us to explore.
It’s an easy drive for us and Seattle is one of my favorite cities. But for this trip, we didn’t go to our usual spots and instead, made the trip about exploring places we hadn’t been to but were also kid-friendly.
The opportunities were endless for them to be hands-on and use their imagination in every room. We took a break at lunchtime and it was really easy to head upstairs to the Marketplace to refuel.
There were many different food options and many were healthy options which is always a bonus for us. We spent six hours at the Children’s Museum and the boys were begging to stay longer.
The next morning we headed to Woodland Park Zoo and found the parking there to be very easy. We spent roughly four hours exploring every inch of the zoo, and I have to say that I loved it just about as much as the boys did.
Woodland Park Zoo’s 92 acres are divided into bioclimatic zones, featuring different natural habitats ranging from humid tropical rainforests and coastal deserts to temperate rainforests like those of the Pacific Northwest.
