Fun Places | Denver Zoo
Hype:
The Denver Zoo is an 80-acre zoological garden located in City Park of Denver, Colorado. Founded in 1896, it is owned by the City and County of Denver. It is the most popular paid attraction in the Denver metropolitan area. The Denver Zoo was started with the donation of an orphaned American black bear. With the construction of Bear Mountain, it became the first zoo in the United States to use naturalistic zoo enclosures rather than cages with bars. It expanded on this concept with Primate Panorama, featuring huge mesh tents and open areas for apes and monkeys, and with Predator Ridge, which has three separate areas through which animals are rotated so that their overlapping scents provide environmental enrichment.

We really enjoyed our trip to the zoo and appreciated that they had many different species of animals from the Hogle Zoo. The amount of time it took to go through the zoo was a little longer than most people in the group were wanting though.
