Seattle or Porland Zoo...which do you recommend? -

Which is a bigger and better zoo to visit: Woodland Zoo in Seattle or Oregon Zoo in Portland? We ll be going through both areas within the week. I d appreciate any insite from those who have been to both. Thanks!

I m likely biased, but I think the Oregon Zoo is superior. The Oregon Zoo s habitats are considerably more natural��Woodland Park Zoo has rows of caged animals in some areas.I rounded up some numbers for comparison.winter hoursOregon Zoo: open 9 am to 4 pmWoodland Park: 9:30 am to 4 pmwinter adult admissionOregon Zoo: $10.50Woodland Park: $11number of animals and number of speciesOregon Zoo: 2,200 and 260Woodland Park: 1,098 and 300openedOregon Zoo: 1887, oldest west of Mississippi RiverWoodland Park: 1902annual visitorsOregon Zoo: 1,600,000Woodland Park: 1,050,000surrounding attractionsOregon Zoo: Children s Museum, Japanese Garden, Hoyt Arboretum, Vietnam Vets Memorial, International Rose Test GardensWoodland Park: Green Lakemass transitOregon Zoo: one bus line, and a notable MAX station at front doorWoodland Park: maybe a bus line?
