Beauty and the Beasts: Woodland Park Zoo - Seattle WA Romantic Getaway

Preview: I have a theory about zoos that goes something like this: They’re a great place to observe animals—and an even better place to learn about people. You can find out a lot about someone by watching how they react to wildlife. In general, a person who shows delight, a patient interest in, and kindness toward animals will tend to treat the people close to him or her the same way. A declared fondness for certain species and behavior can also be fascinating, as well as revealing. That’s why zoos make such great first dates. Luckily, Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo is one of the best and most progressive, garnering more awards for its exhibits than any other zoo in the country. Whether you’re accompanied by a potential or longtime love, a trip through the zoo’s park-like environment and exhibits could teach you much about your partner—and maybe even yourself. This chapter is a true insiders’ guide revealing great nightlife, romantic hotels, intimate dining venues, secluded retreats, and much more.
