If you haven't been to Pt. Defiance lately, you haven't been. Thanks to voter-approved bonds, the zoo has made astonishing improvements as well as adding significant new features. Don't miss the show on the new main stage -- it's kind of cheesy, but you'll find yourself gasping as the birds fly right over your head. And, of course, if you have little ones, the new Kids Zone is a must-stop. On hot days, be sure to bring a change of clothing for your tot, as they will surely want to join in the fun at the water-spouting play area. There is dry fun to be had, too, but you can't blame them for wanting to get wet when the mercury is soaring!
