TROLLS: A Field Study in the Pacific Northwest: A guide to exploring the 12 new Trolls in Washington

Twelve new large wooden trolls have arrived in the Pacific Northwest by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. These new trolls are a part of a touring troll expedition and will only be here from October 15, 2026 through January 24, 2027. Trolls: A Field Study is split between two different parks: Northwest Trek and Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, both located south of Seattle. If you are a PNW local or visiting Seattle this fall or winter, I would highly recommend spending a day visiting these trolls and exploring these two fun parks worthwhile in their own right.
