Denver Zoo
2300 Steele St, Denver, CO 80206
Animals from around the globe are now found at the Denver Zoo, part of the reason it is one of the city’s most popular attractions. While the open-air layout makes it a chilly winter destination, the chance to see so many different animals is more than worth braving the cold. Plus, there are plenty of indoor attractions to see: warm up and see exotic animals at the same time.

I have a Denver Zoo pass so I have to check this out to see when the free days are. There is just no parking on those days. I didn’t know there were so many other free things in Denver, very neat!
