Best zoo I've ever been to! The animal enclosures are large with shade and running water. You get to interact with the animals not just stare at them from a distance. Feeding the giraffes was amazing! My kids were excited to stand right next to penguins, wallaby and feed tropical birds. The best part is that the zoo has a timed entry which really helps control the crowd size, we went on Memorial weekend and had zero lines.

Believe the hype! This is probably one of the best and well-thought-out zoos we have ever been to. Each exhibit is truly unique and you really don't feel bad for any of the animals. They seemed to be well taken care of and overall content with the zoo life. Some of the animals like the baby kangaroos and peacocks were just out and about. Our kid had a blast with them. After coming here, we didn't even bother with the Denver Zoo. The gift shop selections could've been a bit better, but I'm not going to take points off for that. Bring a solid pair of walking shoes, as this park is in the side of a mountain and you'll have some decent elevation changes to take on. I also suggest looking into pre-purchasing tickets (like most parks in Colorado) to help with parking.
