Northwest Trek Wildlife Park

Longtime park goer who has loved visiting Northwest Trek as much as possible through the years. I went here for my first date yesterday and my date, now boyfriend, and I had a blast, it was the best time, and the atmosphere was beautiful and amazing. What a great place to get lost for five hours! The park is clean, accessible, inviting, and educational to all patrons, and hosts many activities and species of flora and fauna, as well as the park's excellent care facilities for their wildlife. Their wildlife conservation activities help people to understand and implement their own environmental conservation efforts and their programs are amazing and the staff are helpful and engaging. The park is scenic and well maintained and the animals are well cared for. This conservationpark will always be my favorite spot in Eatonville Washington. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great experience and a wild adventure.

Their tram has been down for over a year now. Still charging full price even though you only have access to half the park.

Bought a family membership a year ago because we were told by staff the tram would be back up by summer.
It's been a year, still no tram. They will not extend our membership or compensate in any way.
I personally do not think the price is worth what you get as a guest.

Beautiful wildlife park! Lots to see, we were there when the wolves started howling so that was the highlight of our trip!

Very fun nature inspired kids play space make sure to hit on your way out.

It was our first time here and I did have to ask for directions and everyone I encountered was super friendly and helpful.

Wear comfortable shoes, bring snacks and water.

My son had wanted to go here ever since he say a Blippi episode.

We finally had to chance to go. You can have an experience of driving through and walking through the park, special 4 wheel drive with walk through park, or just walking through.

There are lots of picnic tables for lunch time or snack time.

There is a huge play area for the kids.

They also have a Cafe and food stands open during parts of the year.

Don't forget a gift shop.

The food was so so but we were supporting them.

My son says thumbs up.

Don't think I'd spend $23 again for the walking tour but still glad we got to see some cool animals. The cats were hiding the entire time so we didn't see any during our 2 laps around the park in the morning but got some up close viewing of the bears doing funny things which was cool.

DO IT!

Located 1hr south of Seattle is this wildlife park that you can buy tickets to walk into or drive through (which also allows you walk-in the entrance as well). You get the biggest bang for your buck if you drive through then walk in the park but we didn't have enough time to do both. We drove through in our car, which they started during the pandemic and worked out for us. I'm not sure when they'll switch from private vehicle to their brand new electric trams but it's going to happen soon.

The "Wild Drive" was $90 for a vehicle up to 8 people. The walk in entrance would have been about the same cost for the 4 of us and we got to see a bunch of caribou, bison, and deer without leaving our air conditioned car. We could've seen more wildlife if we went in but we were exhausted.

I wish we had spent a whole day here, I'm sure there's a ton of stuff we missed.

We did just the walk around the park and it was excellent. Next time we will do the drive thru.
All the little critters were out so it made a magical time.

I love bringing my kids here. The kids park is amazing and seeing animal is a bonus I wish the new tram was running but this place is still enjoyable and a great place for a walk

It was a great time, enjoyed it very much. The animals were so beautiful! Loved the new trams!

My and the minions love going here, best to go first thing before more people show up or all the noise may scare the animals into hiding particularly the foxes.

Speaking of noise, the news electric trams were pretty good with fast access even with it being just recently started. They are a bit cramped and if the other families sharing the tram with you have a screaming miscreant child, you're stuck there for an hour with no where to run, while your sanity bleeds out your ears faster then an eldritch horror could even hope to take from you.

Overall though, after the excedrine kicked in, it is always a good experience and well worth the membership.
