We have been to the Denver zoo on numerous occasions, but never for the lights. The lights were amazing! It seriously looked like a winter wonderland. Also, the entire zoo is wheelchair friendly. We had a great time and will definitely need to see the lights again next year. We also got the glow package that came with hot chocolate in a fun souvenir cup and the glasses that put stars onto Christmas lights.
Beautiful zoo! My toddler & I had a long layover in Denver on our way to NOLA & we decided to visit the Denver Zoo. It was very clean & well kept. My son's favorite exhibit was the penguins, they have an adorable set up. My favorite were the elephants, I've never seen so many elephants in one zoo.
As recommended by the website, we ordered our tickets online, the tickets were sent to my email. We scanned the tickets & were able to enjoy the zoo quickly. I would definitely go back again! Due to the layover, we only saw maybe half of the Denver Zoo.
This is such a great zoo, we went during a colder day in late November. The inside buildings alone took us a while not to mention many great larger animals as well. As we were leaving they started turning on the lights for a separate event. We had a great time and got some good pictures and videos.
100% recommend! This is a great zoo, lots to see and do, plenty of refreshment options including adult beverages. Animals appear to be well taken care of. We were really impressed and look forward to going back. Parking was easy too.
Heart breaking. I haven't been to the Denver Zoo in about 5-7 years, I grew up going to that Zoo. Seeing it yesterday was utterly heartbreaking, it's no longer the Zoo I grew up going too...
There's no more Feline House.. Where the Tigers, Lions, Leopards, and other cats were housed in a beautiful cozy brick building by the entrance
No more Polar Bears, Seals or Wolves! The entire old Northern Shores exhibit is gone! That exhibit used to be the star of the show..
The Hippos, Rhinos and Elephants used to share a building and exhibit (pachyderms) all in one spot, not anymore
No more Bird World..
No more Monkey Island..
No more Cheetahs..
No more Red Pandas...
No more Bears on Bear Mountain! The exhibit that's been housing bears since 1918..
No more peacocks..
I almost had a stroke yesterday seeing the shape the Denver Zoo is in now compared to how it used to be..
The Charm, the Character and the Flow that made the Denver Zoo so spectacular is long gone..
