We took our 2 year old here and she loved it! The prices were reasonable. We rented the little push cart jeep thing and it worked out great. I forgot to bring a hat but the gift s...

Worst

There is NO smoking area on the zoo grounds, so, if you are a smoker, unless you want to walk half a mile or more to have a cigarette, the zoo is not the place for you. (In case ...

User review from LilaGuide.com 1/4/2005

Buy a pass. If you only have children under three, buy the pass for the indivudual plus guest. It is only $55 and you and a friend can always go to the zoo. The hours are great, but beware on FREE days because it is a zoo!! more

Awesome resource - love Boo at the Zoo, Wildlights, and Zoo Year's Eve. Worth it to be a member. I've heard good things about their summer camps also. more

Good Zoo but not World Class 3/16/2003

As a Denver Zoo member, I can say that Denver Zoo continues to make improvements but if you start to compare it to other zoos in other cities it's overall rating is about a seven (7). The Zoo's in San Diego or St. Louis for example beat this zoo hands down in almost every category. The St. Louis Zoo is Free and has great facilities and collection of animals due to the late Merlin Perkins. San Diego charges but it provides a greater overall experience in facilities and animals too. Pros: free parking, Tropical Exhibit Cons: StaffDrivingPedPaths, crowded, obstructed views more

Fabulous! We loved seeing animals from all worlds. Our favorite part was the underground view of the polar bears! Tropical discovery offers a warm vacation from the cold. Pros: Clean, Surronded by park, easy to find more

A great place to Visit 9/19/2002

The Denver Zoo is the best attraction in town next to Ocean journey. I went home to Arizona for a vaction and visited the Phoenix Zoo two weeks ago, I hate to say this but the Denver Zoo beats the phoenix Zoo hands down in the both animale attractions and things to see and do! The Denver Zoo has more animales to see and its a lot more fun to walk around with out running out of breath or runing from big nasty bugs every 2 minutes. Also Denver as free day at the zoo unlike the Phoenix Zoo! Pros: Varity of Animales, Free day at the zoo, Not alot of walking Cons: Parking, Need more bats more

Go Wild! 9/18/2002

I think the Denver Zoo ranks right up there with any other zoo in the U.S. They have every animal you could want to see, including tropical fish and BLUE FROGS in the Tropical Discovery exhibit. With their new parking structure that opened in 2002, there is no reason NOT to visit this wonderful zoo. Be sure to catch ZooLights in December - AWESOME! Pros: Exhibits, Variety of animals, Ample parking more

Zoo member 8/19/2002

Nothing else, for the price, offers so much for so many members of the family. We go often enough that we purchased a yearly Zoo Membership. We'll renew every year, and continue to enjoy the outings as often as we can. Pros: Mammals, Reptiles, Birds more
