I love the Denver Zoo, we became a member this year. My daughter is l2 and my son is 31/2 we have so much time each time we go. It is a different adventure each time. Not knowing what animal is up.

I love the Denver Zoo. I grew up here and have seen the growth and new facilities the zoo has put in over time. Everything in the zoo is very accessible and easy to get around. It's really hard to find parking on a warm weekend day, but other times of the year it's not too bad. Also, if you get there before opening you can usually park very close. Make sure you bring your own food, the zoo food is very expensive.

It's a nice place for families to visit, kids really enjoy it but I really wish they had more interactive exhibits. Most of the exhibits are just for viewing purposes. While there are plaques with a snippet of info, it's not as educational or informative, or as fun as it could be. Forget about going there during the end of May though. School groups make it impossible to find parking

Terrific exhibits & just the right distance btwn it all. We also like having the carousel & train as option when the little ones are "tired of looking at the animals".

The Denver Zoo is really great -- from the diversity of animals to the various shows/feedings to the special programs. It is definitely worth joining as a member if you go more than once. The food is also surprisingly good.
