Denver Zoo

Nestled in the northern corner of Denver’s City Park, the Denver Zoo spans 80 acres and is home to over 700 species, including rare animals such as the Amur leopard, Siberian tiger, and black rhino. The zoo pioneered the concept of naturalistic habitats with the construction of Bear Mountain in 1906, setting a new standard for animal enclosures. Today, visitors can explore these carefully designed environments, offering a glimpse into the diverse and intricate ecosystems that these animals call home.
