Show Seahawks spirit, earn a discount at NW Trek & Point Defiance Zoo Jan. 25-Feb. 2; ZOO-PER BOWL!

SHOW SEAHAWKS PRIDE AND SAVE ON ADMISSION AT NORTHWEST TREK WILDLIFE PARK AND POINT DEFIANCE ZOO & AQUARIUM JAN. 25-FEB. 2 

Weeklong promotion will culminate in ZOO-per Bowl activities at sister zoos on Feb. 1.

TACOMA, Wash. – At Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, the porcupine is putting up a prickly pass-rushing defense. While over at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, “Blitz-ard” the polar bear is pretty great on D, too. And “Hogan the harbor seal Harvin?”  Well, he’s got all the pass-receiving, ball-running moves of Seahawks’ No. 11.

To celebrate the Seattle Seahawks’ appearance in the 2014 Super Bowl, sister zoos Northwest Trek in Eatonville and Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma are offering  $5 off adult and senior general admission and $3 off youth and tot general admission from Saturday, Jan. 25, through Sunday, Feb. 2, to all visitors wearing Seahawks-themed attire.

And there will be special ZOO-per Bowl activities at both places on Saturday, Feb. 1.

Visitors on ZOO-per Bowl Saturday can look for some animals receiving Seahawks-themed enrichments. And zookeepers no doubt will draw parallels between how fast a golden eagle can fly and the swiftness of wide receiver Golden Tate. Or how a tiger goes all Beast Mode on its prey in the same way Marshawn Lynch explodes up the middle.

In the meantime, the animals at both zoos will be practicing running, jumping, huddling, rushing and defending their territories, just as they do every day.
