The Denver Zoo is a great place to take the kids and get in some walking. The best thing is that ANY time of year can be good since we frequently have nice days throughout the winter you can enjoy the zoo year round. Our favorite is always the primates. I learned last time we were there that there are two families of gorillas and they keep them separate form one another to prevent chaos and death. The volunteer zoo staff giving info on the animals is fantastic. Most of them have logged hundreds of hours volunteering and are very knowledgeable. You can tell they really enjoy what they do. There are "free days" at the zoo and other museums around town. You must check these out at SCFD.org!
