The Denver Zoo had a great variety of exhibits and animals for the whole family to enjoy. The kids loved the sea lion feeding demonstration and the adults all loved the amphibian and reptile exhibits. The zoo had a very natural feel; the 'cages' were surrounded by beautiful plantlife that did not obstruct the children's view. Overall we had a... more

The way the dispalys were designed you really felt close to all the animals. Everything was neat and clean. Definitely need a day to see eveything so wear comfy shoes but it's worth every minute. Easy to find and free parking. more

We recently visited Denver and heard that the Zoo was worth a visit. It was $12.00 per person, but worth the money. It was a large zoo and very well kept. It was a warm day, so the animals weren't very active, but they were all out in the open. We got some great pictures. I highly recommend the Denver... more

Great Zoo!

Before I comment on all of the positives, I would like to note that I dropped what would have been a five circle rating down to three due to lack of reciprocity. For those who are unaware, reciprocity is a program where zoo's honor memberships from other zoo's. At a minimum there is a 50% discount on admission if it... more

I would highly suggest seeing this zoo. It's large with a great selection of anything you can think of. The exhibits are great for the animals very roomy and they are well taken care of. The zoo is top notch and you could spend several hours here with no problem. more

I love the zoo. When on vacation, no matter where it is, my husband and I always find a zoo to visit. Denver is definitely a good one! It was a very hot day, in the high 90's, but a lot of the animals were still out and about. Some were sleeping, but that happens at any zoo! The Denver... more

My husband and I went here on Memorial day weekend, it was quite crowded but its very spread out so you really dont notice. They have some very unique animals and the staff was so friendly and helpful. They seemed to have lots of empty exhibits, maybe they are getting ready for the summer or something. My favorite part was... more

The Denver Zoo is great. Very easy to navigate and affordable. You can easily go for 2 hours. Worth it to go with the family membership! Kids are outside. You bring your own food. The Christmas lights are great. more
