The exhibit hall had fossils and a couple of activities for the kids! They enjoyed trying to make fossilized foot prints in different types of materials, experimenting with what type of surface was best for preservation. There is also a few life size dinosaur bones that are really fun to see! The boys loved to sit on the bone benches to observe the Triceratops!
Don’t miss the FREE find a fossil in the sandbox at the exhibit hall!

Such a beautiful day in Denver, Colorado today! I have not had the opportunity to be at the Denver Zoo for a couple of years. They have certainly made some BIG changes! They have the same great Feline areas that have always been popular. The zebra viewing was wonderful as the zebras are in a prime location as you walk toward the Feline house area. The Polar Bear did not feel like swimming this afternoon, but he did walk back and forth and eventually settle down in a spot where we could all see him! The kids always love to see how tall they are compared to him.
The Sea Lion show was pretty fun, sorry I don’t have any photos, but my son thought it was absolutely “Amazing that Sea Lion Nick can understand what that zoo keeper was telling him what to do!”
If you can spend some time in the Tropical Discovery Building, it is well worth it! All the kids enjoyed the amazing variety of animals and fish you can find here. Take your time, and search for the hidden creatures!
We wish we could have seen more elephants, maybe it was just not a good day to see them? We had to go inside their enclosure to see them. So, while their habitat at the zoo is amazing…we really just wanted to see the elephants…so, here is what we saw. I hope to return again soon and find more elephants enjoying their amazing habitat that the Denver Zoo has created!
Truly found the Clouded Leopard Clubs fascinating! They entertained us as they played and they were a joy to watch! Pictures were blurred….so sorry friends! You will just have to visit the zoo to see them! GO to the web site first to find out more information!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dinosaur Ridge, Colorado. All opinions are my own. This panning activity was a favorite for my kids! they love to see the dirt and pebbles wash away and leave their favorite shiny gems! This activity varies in cost so make sure you check the prices before you commit to purchase. Price is comparable to the gem tables inside a lot of tourist stores where you fill your bag with rocks, but this is a LOT more fun! Your kids actually begin to learn a bit about mining and panning while doing this entertaining activity! I recommend using the identification brochure provided by Dinosaur Ridge and take the time to try to identify the gems or fossils you collect during this activity. Pretty amazing when your preschooler can identify and ammonite correctly!
