Where can you find Rudolph and his Reindeer friends this December? Why, at the Issaquah reindeer festival!!!

The Issaquah Reindeer Festival is permanently located at the Cougar Mountain Zoo, (in Issaquah, of course). This North facing site was selected as being easily accessible from the North Pole as well as for its ideal climate and breathtaking scenic beauty.

The whole family is invited to share the warmth of the holidays at this one-of-a-kind event to benefit the animals at the Zoo. During this very special time you can check out All the Reindeer as you walk through their yard on your way to visiting Santa in his house. Come and enjoy the music, sights and sounds of the Holidays with family and friends.
