Located in Washington Park, Oregon Zoo features hundreds of species, including many birds and marine animals like Steller sea lions and sea otters.

One man, Richard Knight, put together a private collection of animals and began the zoo in the late 1800s. Visitors may also want to take the time to learn about the Oregon Zoo's conservation programs and research, as one of the primary focuses is on preserving the species of the Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Zoo features special behind-the-scenes tours that include animal interactions and a look at the operations of the facility.
