Denver Zoo is home to more than 3,500 animals representing 650 species. A leader in conservation, Denver Zoo has championed 495 conservation and research projects in 53 countries.
Very nice Zoo, an easy walk and entertaining. Reasonable entry prices for the value. A must if you have kids with you - or with your date.
Don't forget to check out the Chilean flamingos!
Great zoo. Really enjoyed this as a stop on our road trip to stretch our legs and explore.
Fantastic zoo
The food here is actually good and reasonably priced. We got into the park for $5 cheaper because they are currently doing a special for Pokemon Go users. We showed them our app and they gave us a discount. We saved $10!
The zoo itself is just as good as any zoo I've been to. Fun place, but finding parking might be an issue. Try to get there early!
I enjoyed this zoo, bur for some reason I was expecting something along the lines of the Bronx Zoo. This was ALOT smaller than I expected.
Nothing of what I was expecting. Half of the facilities for animals we're empty, the rest had possibly one animal laying in a corner. The only plus side to the place were the giraffes, although had a mile long line when it came to feeding them.
