Real Traveler reviews for Denver Zoo

More information on Denver Zoo

Denver Zoo covers 80-acres in historic City Park and is home to almost 4,000 animals and more than 700 species, 144 of which are endangered. Between exhibits, special events, educational programs, and all the wonderful animals, it's hard to run out of fun here. See exotic animals like vampire bats, amur leopards, and king cobras, and check out incredible naturalistic habitats like Predatory Ridge, Primate Panorama, and Tropical Discovery. There's always something special going on at Denver Zoo too, like Brew at the Zoo night and the Wildlife Film Festival. Great for all ages.
