The Denver Zoo offers its visitors a unique opportunity to experience the wonders of nature up close in an intimate, inspiring, and informative way. Not only does it provide an opportunity to connect with wildlife but also with each other. The zoo's campus spans 84 acres and serves as an enchanting urban field station where over 3,000 wild animals act as ambassadors for their wild counterparts worldwide. With over 3,500 animals, such as flamingos, monkeys, lions, gorillas, tigers, hippopotamuses, snakes, fish, hyenas, and turtles, visitors can get a closer look at nature's beauty. The zoo houses its animals in habitats that best replicate their natural environment, resulting in an unforgettable experience for visitors.
