Drive Time from Blue Lake Casino Hotel

The short drive makes Sequoia Park Zoo an easy addition to a day spent exploring Eureka and the surrounding North Coast region.

Make It Part of a Day in Eureka

Many visitors pair Sequoia Park Zoo with nearby attractions such as Old Town Eureka, Hikshari’ Trail, and the Eureka Waterfront.

Because the zoo is located within Sequoia Park, visitors can enjoy both wildlife exhibits and redwood forest scenery during the same visit.

More Than a Traditional Zoo

What makes Sequoia Park Zoo memorable is its setting.

Surrounded by towering coast redwoods and connected to the Redwood Sky Walk, the zoo offers a distinctly Humboldt County experience that combines wildlife, conservation, and the natural beauty of the North Coast.

The Redwood Sky Walk allows visitors to experience the forest from a completely different perspective. Elevated among the redwood canopy, the accessible walkway winds through towering trees and provides views rarely seen from the forest floor. Together, the Sky Walk and Sequoia Park Zoo create an experience that combines wildlife, education, and Humboldt County’s iconic redwood environment in a single destination.

For many visitors, it’s one of the most family-friendly and accessible ways to experience both wildlife and redwood forest in a single destination.
