Description

An outdoor sculpture garden created by Fort Collins resident Bill Swets, the Swetsville Zool features no "real" animals, instead it showcases metal animals and humorous sculptures created from scrap metal, spare machinery and car parts. The pieces are cutely comedic, ranging from a giant spider whose main body is an old Volkswagen Beetle to a tiny metal dinosaur hatching out of an old propane tank. The zoo sits within eyesight of the Interstate 25 exit ramp, north of Weitzel Pond.
