Holiday season happenings often leave people frazzled and looking for a break, and Northwest Trek Wildlife Park has the perfect plan. Take a little time out for nature and enjoy a very special treat: kids get in free throughout December.

Up to four children ages 12 and younger will be admitted free with each paying adult. Northwest Trek is open Fridays through Sundays and daily between December 26 and December 31.

Each visit includes a heated, 50-minute tram tour of the Free Roaming Area, where you can try to spot Willow, the 4-month-old moose calf, now growing taller and steadier every day alongside her mother Connie.

It’s a special time of year to see the park’s other moose, too, along with Roosevelt elk, American bison, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and deer in their heartier winter coats, venturing around a crisp meadow and forested hillsides.

Northwest Trek’s Main Gate is open from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the following dates in December: December 4 – 6 and 11 – 13.
