Most people may not find this place worth the rating I gave, but I gave it such because it is unique and creative. Also, I have a soft sport for small, off-the-beaten-path type of attractions. There is a path to walk around for viewing the many imaginative creations throughout. It was very fun to see how everyday items and junk... More

Great little place way too short if you ask me kids were fascinated as I was. Lived here for 10 years before I even realized what I was missing.

I love to take company out to visit this place. It is one of a kind and it is for all ages. Although it is not as large as before, it is still worth a visit.

Swetsville Zoo is so fun for kids and adults alike! I always suggest it to my friends who haven't been yet. A fun place that can be visited multiple times without getting old. It's nice for a pass-through when you have some spare time.

Never would have guessed the clever things one could make out of used farm equipment! This is place families can go to get out and walk around, have a picinic near the river, enjoy the scenery and each other. It's like being in a whole different world and the kids will absolutely love it! There are some other things in... More

It is not what you expect when you think zoo for sure but I was expecting the area to be larger. There isn't much to see in terms of area, but the sculptures are fun and well made. Plus you can't beat the price (free) and its unique to the Fort Collins area. Worth a quick stop at least if... More

A zoo of metal, creatively fashioned to look like 12' dinosaurs, cute turtles, snakes, etc. I take all my guests to this zoo.

This is a must if you have any imagination at all! Turn the kids loose and they will drag you all over the place to show you this bizarre world. It is not glitz, music, and lights. It is pure man-made sculptures made from... whatever.
