Meet super Lou
While on a visit to Leavenworth Washington, Ludwig the iconic Bavarian lion fell in love with the majestic beauty and took to the hills in hermitage. Raised by intrepid cougars of the Cascades, Lou established a fondness for adventure. He settled atop the town's perch and his generous spirit guided him to construct a park where he could share his passion for play with the people of the region he loves. “Super Lou" as he is now known can occasionally be spied tucked under a boulder or speeding down the rails of the Tumwater Twister. Guests will get the opportunity to visit and take photos with Super Lou while visiting the park! Check back for Super Lou visit dates and times.
