The Denver Zoo is a fun day out for the family. Over the past couple of years they have been working on new exhibits, habitats and facilities. The improvements have made the Zoo a much more enjoyable experience (previously it was rather shabby). Besides the fun new exhibits there is a lot of interaction with volunteers who happily answer the kids' questions and have displays that teach about wildlife. There is still some work to be done as several of the habitats are still very outdated and unattractive. There are a couple of restaurants and souvenir shops. The food is great but very pricey. Admission is reasonable and locals might find it worth buying a family pass. Parking has been greatly improved by the addition of a parking garage which is well lit and fairly easy to navigate.
