This is always a fun spot to take photos in the African Savannah area of the Woodland Park Zoo. One of the newest exhibits at Woodland Park Zoo is A Bug’s Eye View located where the temporary dinosaur exhibit used to be. A Bug’s Eye View: Temporary Exhibit from May 1 through Labor Day It’s great for getting out of the rain or sun or if your kids need a break from walking around outside. There are usually staff members there who help kids do cool animal-related activities. ![]() The play area features a variety of climbing structures, slides, and other activities. This indoor play area is perfect for kids ages 8 years old and younger. Local Mom tip: Bring paper and crayons to do a fun imprint activity at a statue near the cows. ![]() They also feature a little worm play area for little kids and a farmers market area. They have chickens, goats, pigs, sheep and cows. My son isn’t big on actually petting the animals, so we usually just go close to them and then move on. My son loves any chance to ride on a tractor, so this is always a stop at the Woodland Park Zoo. We LOVE seeing the sloth bear because it’s an animal that always comes close to the glass and we can all get a great view. There are also several educational displays about the rhinos and their conservation. The exhibit features a large enclosure with plenty of space for the rhinos to roam, as well as a variety of enrichment features, such as mud wallows, pools, and climbing structures. I was SUPER excited when this exhibit area opened a couple of years ago because not many zoos have rhinos. The exhibit is designed to mimic the rhinos’ natural habitat in the Assam region of India. This area is home to two greater one-horned rhinoceroses, Taj and Glenn. ![]() And it’s always neat to get up close to the window and see what they are up to. My kids like seeing the replica eggs and claws. While the komodo dragon area has always been interesting for kids, the exhibit was renovated and re-opened in 2021 cooler than ever. It’s pretty cool to see the komodo dragons! Photo credit: Marcie Cheung
