SEATTLE, WA, 2016-Aug-02 — /Travel PR News/ —
WHAT: Visit Woodland Park Zoo and fill up your Pokédex when the zoo drops Pokélures across the zoo this Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
The zoo has 35+ Pokéstops and fan favorites to catch including Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Eevee and Kakuna. Hint: While exploring the zoo’s 92 lush acres, be sure to make your way to Banyan Wilds, the Humboldt penguin exhibit, Northern Trail, African Savanna and the new Molbak’s Butterfly Garden. And, in a few key areas of the zoo, enjoy a boost from the zoo’s new Wi-Fi donated by Cisco Systems, Inc. Look for the full Wi-Fi installation across zoo grounds later this year.
Home to 300+ animal species including more than 70 that are threatened with extinction, the zoo has quite a few animals that are the real world inspirations for many Pokémon.
