Denver Destination- The Zoo!

P1010622
While at Cherry Creek State Park we’ve ridden our bikes around the trails that go down by the reservoir.  Down to the swim beach… STOP!  The swim beach was being frequented by Canada Geese!  I don’t think we’ll be swimming there!

Next stop?  The Denver Zoo!  We saw lions and tigers and bears!  Oh my!
P1010627
We also saw snakes and Okapis, penguins and primates, Black Rhinos and Komodo Dragons, Sea Lions and Seals, Kangaroos but no Koalas, Ring Tailed Lemurs and Giraffes!

Black Rhinos are known for their “bad” attitude!  And he was coming right towards us!

Zoos are a great way to spend a day!  The exhibits are viewer friendly so the animals are close.  They are expanding the Pachyderm exhibit, which should be great when it’s completed.  Where’s your favorite zoo?

I think this old bear is wondering where they hid the food today.  This bear habitat was the first natural style habitat in the nation built in 1919.

Did you know that you have to have reservations to the Denver Mint two months in advance?  Well, we sure didn’t so we’ll cross that off our Denver itinerary.  Perhaps a trip to the Denver Botanical Garden instead?
