It's Family fun!

No doubt about it, Denver Zoo is a popular place for children! That's why we've put together special programs designed just for kids. These programs are led by staff, contract instructors and volunteers who have backgrounds in early childhood and elementary education, animal behavior and environmental education. All personnel who work with children have completed background checks.
