The Cougar Mountain Zoo is a treasure in our little town of Issaquah! It is beautifully manicured and well-maintained. The enclosures are beautiful. The staff are extremely caring and interactive with the public, and most of all, the animals are healthy and happy! Among Reindeer and Emu and Parrots and Cranes, they have Tigers and Cougars and Lemurs (some of my absolute favorites), so it's like having these wonderful animals in my backyard because they are so close by. I love this Zoo!
If you haven't gone yet, go, you will love it.
