It does get very crowded so I always suggest going earlier to beat the crowds. We bought our tickets in advance. We didn't have to wait in line and we just showed them to the greeters. When you first walk in, you can go left or right it just depends on what you wanna see first! There's always something new to explore and every time I think I've gone down a path another one pops up! One of my favorites was petting the stingrays :-) The overall of the zoo experience was just fun and I went with people who haven't been recently, so it was fun to see all of our reactions to the animals. We also got lucky and got to see the elephant take a bath! Overall, I definitely think the zoo is for all ages and for everyone to enjoy

My two boys (6 and 3 years old) and I thoroughly enjoyed this zoo! When I first looked at the map,…read moreit was a bit overwhelming. However, the way that the zoo is set up, you can definitely see everything if you walk along the guided path that is laid out on the map. There are some divergent paths, but they all wrap around and lead you in the right direction. Just trust their system and you will naturally continue to go forward instead of doubling back. When we went, it was their 130 Years Celebration so there were several cute photo ops and displays. This zoo had several birds and animals that I haven't seen before, which made it more enjoyable. I mean, after visiting many zoos you become underwhelmed when you see giraffes, elephants, and/or tigers. There were some exhibits that had no animals, but it didn't take away from the experience because there are SO many other animals to view. My favorite exhibits were the penguins because I learned many interesting facts from one of the workers and orangutans because I just loved seeing them interact and slide around on the firehose. There were several stations where you are able to go inside and get more up close and personal with the birds. You can also touch stingrays! In addition, there are a handful of interactive elements inside the zoo, which made it more engaging for my boys. For example, you can take photos against bear silhouettes to see how you compare in height, you can jump to see how far you go compared to certain animals, and etc. The zoo does offer some other experiences that require additional payment, such as the Denver Zoo Railroad, riding a carousel, and Wild Explorer VR. We didn't pay for any of those activities and still had a fabulous time. I think we spent around 3-3.5 hours at the zoo and it was us going at a casual and leisurely pace. My boys were able to withstand the heat and sun fine. I appreciate that we were able to bring in water and snacks because it was absolutely necessary to keep us going!

Then there was this one gift shop employee that was just going back and forth to the back room and literally just yelling "EXCUSE ME" over and over walking at full speed without even a thank you as people were startled and had to quickly move out of the way. Is THIS the last thing Denver Aquarium wants you to remember? Well, it IS! I understand people have bad days, so take a day off.

Even with a map in hand, I chose my own adventure, wondering along the winding paths. My favorite part to walk was Kathy's boardwalk. I suggest you see the beautiful work that was done. After about an hour and a half of exploring, we started to feel hungry. With a café restaurant nearby, we stopped there to check it out. There were plenty of delicious options. We indulged in the smoky chicken sandwich, sweet potato fries, and a cookie for dessert, all paired with a refreshing Arnold Palmer. It was a bit pricey and set us back about $50, but it was definitely worth it. After another hour, we called it good. Exiting, we stopped by the gift shop, where we picked up a few trinkets just because everything else was a bit high. Overall, we had an amazing time exploring the gardens. I'm already planning to come back and see the ones we missed.

He has the most entertaining names for all of them (Ziggy Stardust, Pablo Picasso), and he treats them like family. He made it very easy to find the ranch, which would normally be very hard to locate by meeting us at a highly visible location. The alpacas are the sweetest. You can pet them, take selfies, feed them, and water them. Joe provides a laid-back experience, allowing you to spend the time as freely as you want and to ask him as many questions as you would like. Not to mention, the land around the ranch is gorgeous. Highly recommend!

As soon as you walk in,…read moreyou're greeted by a small collection of bugs and even some jellyfish--my absolute favorites were the praying mantis and a stick bug. As you stroll past the bug exhibit, you'll notice some empty aquariums, but there's also a stunning display of beautiful coral. Then, you'll arrive at the breathtaking butterfly pavilion. I'm not sure how many different butterfly species there were, but they were everywhere! I was so lucky to have one land on me. I spent most of my time chasing a magnificent blue one. I didn't manage to get any great photos with my camera, but I did manage to record it weaving through the tropical environment. One of the best parts of the tour was the gift shop. We stocked up on butterfly-themed arts and gifts, and I even brought home a blue butterfly in a still case.

It was much smaller than I expected, and I didn't feel like there was enough to justify the cost of admission. For 2 adults and 1 child, it was $60! The kids enjoyed looking at the butterflies, but when we asked them what their favorite part was, they said the play area. For what we spent, we could have taken them to a trampoline park or indoor play place and gotten more entertainment for our money. It's a neat concept, and the butterflies were pretty to see, but overall, the experience just didn't live up to our expectations. I'm glad we got to experience it, but it's not somewhere I'd be in a hurry to visit again, especially at those prices.

The price is not terrible but in Tuesday or Wednesday it's free and then they charge for pumpkins. The employees we say were help but they're weren't too many.
