Cougar Mountain Zoo

We went on an outing to the Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah.

From their website:
Established in 1972 the primary focus of the Cougar Mountain Zoo is on endangered species and education. Many of the Zoo animals have been born or raised at the Zoo and have developed a self assured attitude toward humans, enabling visitors to take a deep glimpse into the beauty and mysteries of other life forms.

It's a neat little zoo. It's pretty small, but it has a nice selection of animals, all of whom seemed very well cared for and happy. We saw cougars, tigers, lemur, cranes, reindeer (!), macaws, wallabies, emu, and alpaca.

They also had a large bronze animal sculpture collection. They were all beautiful, and very nice, but kind of gave me the creeps. It's as if the White Witch from Narnia went in and turned all the animals into statues!

Anyway, a nice little zoo. It was pretty quiet when we went today, and would probably be great for little kids.
