excellent

[gruja_kg, 26/01/2010] Very nice and very big ZOO. In this ZOO you can find all kinds of animals from all over the world. One of the interesting parts of the garden is tropicana with faithful ambient of tropical landscapes and animals. Zoo is quite large so that the need for his tour of the day. In the garden there is a fast food restaurant and souvenir shop. All in all worth a visit this wonderful zoo. Highly recommend, specially for families with children.

perfection!

[1krispy1, 11/02/2007] After several weeks of true winter weather and years since my last visit I felt it was time to go to the Denver Zoo again. I did just that. The weather was fairly cool and some of the more tropical animals were not outside. That was a small manner in most cases as the majority of the more cold intolerant beasts were inside and viewable. This would include many of the primates and the giraffes for example. Many of the animals were outside. As mentioned I have not been to the zoo in years. One of the major changes has been the creation of "Predator Ridge". This is a large exhibit for lions [more]

perfection!

The Denver Zoo can be crowded during the summer . Mary recommends a visit now stating if one does go they "are in for a huge treat". There are a couple of reasons among these are "the summer crowds have dispersed". This lower density of visitors makes for a "more pleasant atmosphere". The Denver Zoo sits on 80 acres with many paths that allow the visitor to circulate among the exhibits. Mary recommends "comfortable foot attire" for making the rounds. Due to the hills one can get a pretty good work out but Mary notes "never has exercise been so much fun". Mary also notes "nearly 4000 animals" [more]

Frommers rates the Denver Zoo as "very highly recommended" or two of the three possible stars. Eric notes "more than 750 species of animals (more than 4000 individuals" are at home "in this spacious zoological park". This is home "to the rare deer like okapi". It is also noted as being among the residents at the Denver Zoo are "endangered cheetahs, Komodo dragons and western lowland gorillas". A major new and "most ambitious habitat" known as Predator Ridge is a recreated "African savannah" complete with the two top predators from the African plains specifically "lions and hyenas".
