Yep--this zoo is at 7,000 feet, so wear comfy shoes! So much the better if you're pushing a stroller--you'll tone both your arms and your legs! Assuming you are up for it (it's not all that bad--it's just not flat) you will love this zoo that offers not only great exhibits by spectacular views of the city as well. If you are truly out of shape, there is a tram you can take that makes plentiful stops for you to get on and off.
Because of the layout of the zoo, you can view the animals form a variety of positions--oftentimes you are looking down at them as they are below you. this gives a unique perspective. The monkey house is fun--but loud. Kids will love it, of course. Don't miss the petting zoo so the little ones can get up close and personal.
