    This is a really nice zoo. When we went, it was what was called a "Free Day" where admission was free and you could walk right on through the gates! Thre are all types of animals here, and some of them are really close. The Bear area is actually on the National Register of Historic Places, built in 1918. The only thing I did not like about the Denver Zoo was the fact that the paths were VERY confusing. Once you take a path, it circles into another, then another, then another. We got turned around so many times, it wasn't even funny. If you bring small children, keep them close because it is easy to get lost here. This zoo is located right inside the city off 23rd street, about a block from the Gates Planetarium and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (which I plan to do on my next trip). Be sure to check the website below for a list of the free days...it will save you some money.

    Always a fun place for children and adults alike, the zoo is in a nice outdoor setting in one of the city's parks near downtown. While the admission fee is getting somewhat steep, there are some scheduled free days throughout the year.

    Anyone visiting the city should stop by the Denver Zoo. When I went, two of the monkeys were fightning each other. Maybe you'll be able to witness something as exciting.
    The Zoo is a large attraction. It has multiple exhibits and gives Denver a great quality. There are places for birds, reptiles, mammals, plants, and many more.

  • The nation’s fourth most popular is home to more than 3500 animals representing 685 species. Highlights include Primate Panorama, a seven-acre facility with 29 different species of primates, ranging from a 6-ounce pygmy marmoset to the 619-lb. lowland gorilla Koundu, the largest gorilla in any zoo in the world. Tropical Discovery is an entire rainforest under glass with over 1,200 animals, tropical streams and waterfalls, temple ruins, and an offshore coral reef. Ulaq (U-lock) and Berit (Bear-it), two adorable polar bear cubs that were born on December 28, 1998, frolic in a special area of Northern Shores, an exhibit that replicates the Arctic Circle with sea lions and penguins. Look out for interactive adventures such as African dancing on the plaza, Native American stories on wolves or Japanese fan dancing near the cranes. April-September: 9am-6pm daily; October-March: 10am-5pm daily.
