Located in Issaquah, WA, Cougar Mountain Zoo is the perfect outing for the family and especially small children.   An intimate Zoo indeed, where you get up close to the animals and actually learn about them.  The staff is incredibly friendly and give you that personal touch.  As a non-profit organization, public support and donations are vital as it is their main source of funding.

While we were there, Jason and the owner of the gardens were invited by a local news station; WBRW to do a feature segment.  We hope you enjoy this beautiful video as it transports you to this amazing place and gives you an in depth understanding of the making of these gardens and the many sculptures placed here.
