Denver Zoo
The Denver Zoo is really cool. It’s fairly large, but not overwhelmingly so. I went with some friends (unfortunately K didn’t have the day off too and was working), and we were able to wander through the entire thing in 3 hours or so. They had all of the exhibits and animals I would expect to see in a typical zoo, and the animals seemed to be pretty active for the most part. Considering a lot of the zoos we’ve visited we’ve only seen the animals laying around or they’ve hidden themselves away, this was really nice. Don’t get me wrong, there were still plenty of sleepy critters, but this time they weren’t the majority! We may have just picked a better time to go, later in the afternoon, coinciding with feeding time for some animals. It worked out really well!

Who: Although kids will surely enjoy it the most, we had a great time too!
