Tips for Visiting
- Purchase tickets in advance, especially for popular weekend dates, as time slots and weekends often sell out quickly.
- Consider attending on a weekday or a 'Value Night' for potentially lower admission prices and fewer crowds.
- Take advantage of the Zoo Lights Bundle for an enhanced experience, including hot cocoa and ride vouchers, but be sure to select it at checkout as quantities are limited.
- Check the Denver Zoo website for specific event nights like 'Adult Nights (21+)' or 'Sensory-Friendly Night' if they better suit your group's needs.
- Dress in layers and wear comfortable walking shoes, as you'll be exploring the zoo grounds extensively, and Colorado weather can be unpredictable.
