Located in City Park, five minutes from downtown, the Denver Zoo is home to more than 4,000 animals representing more than 700 different species, including 144 endangered animals. From penguins and polar bears to tarantulas and turtles — you name the animal, and you can likely find it at the Denver Zoo. Little kids love taking a spin on the Endangered Species Carousel ($2), featuring 48 hand-carved animals, or, for the same price, they can ride the natural gas-powered train around Pachyderm Park. School-age children appreciate different shows and demonstrations, plus daily animal feedings.
