Tiger at Woodland Park Zoo

Woodland Park Zoo opened the new Banyan Wilds exhibit on Saturday.

Zoo officials say Banyan Wilds is the zoo's most ambitious new exhibit project in nearly two decades. The 2-acre exhibit complex marks the return of tigers to Woodland Park Zoo and will take zoo guests on a journey into the world of Malayan tigers and sloth bears.

Phase one opened in 2013 with Asian small-clawed otters, a tropical aviary and a kids' nature play area.

The Zoo says Banyan Wilds will bring guests closer to tigers than ever before. Three Malayan tiger brothers will play and pounce, scratch trees, splash in a pool or nap under the shade of a banyan tree.
