    If you haven't been to The Kangaroo Ranch in Wheat Ridge yet, book a spot immediately! We went yesterday and am absolutely thrilled with the experience. Getting to hang out, feed, and interact with the kangaroos up close was a blast -- joyful. The staff (the Roo Crew) knocked it out of the park. They are all informative, and make sure both the guests and the animals are having a perfect, safe time. The facility is immaculate and the level of care given to the animals is so beautiful to see. Their mission is awesome. How did I not know about this earlier?! I'm adding Kangaroo Ranch visits to my perpetual list of "Things to do in Denver" when we are entertaining visitors.

    This is a really great place and a unique experience I'd highly recommend! A group of animal loving friends and I made the drive from Colorado Springs this Saturday for their Meet and Greet experience. It was a little bit difficult to find because it's kind of in a warehouse section back from the street but inside it's adorable. It was a one hour experience and at first I was surprised by how many people were with us and I worried we might not get much time with the kangaroos but we totally did! We got to first sit in chairs and meet two two-year old male kangaroos and then got to sit on the floor on a rug and meet two one-year old female kangaroos. We got to feed them throughout the time- carrots, lettuce, apples and pears, and got to pet them and take lots of pictures. What adorable fun creatures!!! The two guides were so fun and informative- it was sometimes hard to pay close attention to their education because the kangaroos were so fascinating but we all picked up different interesting details that we had never known before. They do great work and we were all impressed and happy as we left. There is a great gift shop too with many cute kangaroo stuffed animals and other toys all at surprisingly reasonable prices. We each left with a little polaroid picture of us with a kangaroo and cute kangaroo stickers (and a coloring book if desired too). I highly recommend this experience!

    This is a wonderful experience. Joe (the guide/owner) is super friendly, knowledgeable and patient…read more You can tell he sincerely cares about the alpacas, and this meant a lot as an animal lover myself. 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!

Meeting location is near the lower parking lot of the Red Rocks Amphitheater next to the public restroom by the gray building. From there, Joe (the owner) checks you jn and will escort the group (you'll drive your car) to drive to the alpacas. Tip: Try to park near the gray building, do not park in the upper parking lot entrance to the amphitheater.

    Best pumpkin patch in Colorado! We had the best time and will be back! I recommend buying tickets…read morein advance online because you get in faster! What is great is you can use the tickets for any day the whole season so you don't have to pick a day to go and worry about needing to change the day! Super convenient and the price is good! We paid for the basic entry ticket and nothing extra and it was worth it! So much is included you don't need to worry about not being able to do anything! We were there for 4hrs and didn't even do all the things we could have. We ate lunch there, the food was expensive but that's common nowadays. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was delicious! So don't worry about not liking the food, it's well prepared and tons of options. We also got a coffee and it tasted good too! They really have it all! My favorite part was the mutin-busting, they made it so fun! The corn maze was a close second, it's not too hard and fun! This place is super kid friendly and the price is worth all the fun you get to enjoy! Also they out wood chips on the ground everywhere so you don't need to worry about mud! We will be back!

    By far, one of the funner pumpkin patches that I've taken my kids to over the course of their 13…read moreyears. The pumpkin patch itself is not nearly as big or cool as some of the others, and the corn maze was only about waist high, but the overall experience Was way more enjoyable here. Pig races were a blast. Food was really decent stadium food quality overall great experience highly recommend if Ryan had kids I think he would bring him here.

    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!

    We went on a Saturday. It was extremely hot... Very little shade and long walks to each bathroom. I…read morewas very overheated. I started feeling bad for the animals who looked overheated not an ideal zoo for me to return to... there needs to be more shade.... It was just a very uncomfortable experience. One of the exhibits at the end even had a stand-up fan on some of the birds.
