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)
