Everybody loves the zoo. And Denver's is no slouch. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, the nursery's are world famous and the animals are housed with care. A solid outing for families and school buses full of field trippers. More

The Denver Zoo has a great variety of animals. Within the past couple of yhears they have added a mountain goats exhibit that is really quite realistic. It is also a good place to see baby animals shortly after birth. We observed a 3 day old giraffe on one visit. More

One of the things I love about the Denver Zoo is how natural the enclosures are. There are lots of places to lay down a blanket and have a picnic. The Grille is pretty good. My sons both enjoyed the Zoo Camp experiences when they were young. Met Klondike and Snow, baby polar bears and Okapi's! Great place for families... More
