Travel & Vacation: Animals at the Denver Zoo (Denver, CO)

 Elephant on the move

Our kids love animals.  On one of our trips to Colorado we had an opportunity to go to the Denver Zoo with extended family.  The kids had a blast.  It was neat seeing all the different animals, going to show, learning about the zoo animals, activities, and so much more.  Thankful for a chance to go to the Denver Zoo with the kids.

If your family enjoys Zoo’s and you are in the Denver, Coloardo area you should check this one out.  They have a lot of animals to see.  The shows and activities are fun and very educational for the kids.

 Hanging around and watching all the people walking by

 Decided to make a move and head the other direction

We watched the penguin demonstration.  They were happy to get treats!

Found something tasty to eat1

Elephant Show, this elephant was only a few feet in front of us.  I was just hoping it wasn’t going to spray us.  If you are at the Denver Zoo I highly recommend the elephant show, it was really neat.  Kids and adults really enjoyed it!

Getting ready for the next act!

Getting ready to bow for the audience!

Didn’t want to look at us.

What animal is this!?

If you guess “camel” in the picture above you are correct.  Never saw a camel lay down like that before.

This camel is either all stretched out or doing it’s yoga for the day!

Pretty giraffe’s hanging out together in the shade.

Sea lions swimming around!

Beautiful white arctic fox hiding in the log

Capybara still wet from his swim

Big snake….no a big fan of snakes so thankful when they are behind glass.

Gorgeous zebras enjoying some treats!

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family, ways we relax, and tips on how to make trips more enjoyable.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
