I just recently took a trip to Denver, CO and of course while i was there i had to take another trip to the zoo. i visited the zoo there a few years ago and couldn't wait to visit again. Its a huge zoo and its very clean. all the employees are so friendly and fantastic. this zoo has every type of animal that any well equipped zoo should have from tiny little chipmunks to enormous elephants. my favorite animal to visit is the giraffe. just beautiful. the animals were all so beautiful and well taken care of. and the peacocks came right up to us and spread there glorious feathers out and flaunted about.
you can stop and take a ride on the train which tours around a small section of the zoo where the rhino's are. or you can hop on the giant merry-go-round. there are lots of places to eat or get a snack. its all average priced for a zoo, which means kinda pricey depending on what you get.
they have shops all over the place for souvenirs and they all have the theme of the animals that are near them. the main gift shop at the front entrance is two levels and sells everything from toys to clothes to home decor, including some really cool african masks.
if you stop at this zoo, make sure you visit the beautiful giraffes and the gorilla's. there is one gorilla in particular. i think her name is betsy, she blows kisses and the kids love it. :o)

More 2 years ago
My knees have always been a little weak and as I aged running became harder and harder on my joints. I still really enjoy cardio and Qi has these incredible glider machines that mimick the motion of inline skating or cross country skiing. The machine doesn't hurt my knees at all and I still get to work up a sweat with some powerful cardio that's the kind of workout I enjoy.
Pros: Great variety of machines and eqipment

If you're an outdoor enthusiast in any way, then you've probably visited this great store. It's more than a store--more like a monument (a hand's on one) to the outdoor amazing pursuits that Colorado has to offer. The staff are consistently helpful and friendly, the store aisles are spacious and easy to navigate and their selection is second to none. Their sales are quite good and if you're not a member--you need to be! They also have tons of convenient free parking.
I bought a swim cap there and returned it unused (still int he original package) and I had the receipt. No questions asked. Within moments, my credit card was refunded and I was on my way--a happy camper (pun intended)
That, my friends, is customer service at its best!

I've really enjoyed the Botanic Gardens, as a visitor and as an educator. -They have a variety of specialty gardens, like the Japanese Garden and Monet Garden. Kids can enjoy their own Secret Path, and they can check out interactive backpack kits that teach them about bugs and plants. A tropical conservatory offers visitors the opportunity to walk through what feels like a rainforest here in arid Colorado! The DBC hosts annual events like cactus and orchid shows. It's a fun place to visit.

My father is a train enthusiast and when he comes to Denver to visit this place is on his list to visit. They have a lot of train stuff, very specialized, and a very knowledgable staff. My kids like to go to this store with my Dad but can quickly get bored, this place is not a toy store but is a true Train Enthusiast hobby shop.
