It's a Jungle Out There

I rounded out the last day of my roadtrip with a visit to the Wildlife Safari in Winston, OR, and the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, OR.  Tomorrow it's a straight shot home to Seattle.

Wildlife Safari

The Wildlife Safari will bring out the kid in everyone.  There is a walk through village with animals in their habitats typical of a zoo, and a drive through area where you are in a cage and the animals roam free.  Admission gets you two loops around the drive through park and admittance to the village as many times as you'd like.  Definitely worth the trip if you're in the Roseburg area.

Cascades Raptor Center

The Cascades Raptor Center's mission is to rehabilitate injured birds with the goal of releasing them back into the wild.  The birds they have on display are used to educate the public about the various raptor species as well as common causes of injury (namely how humans are harming them).   It's a small park and your admission goes to the rehabilitation efforts.
