WADDLE THIS WAY

Denver Zoo's African penguins are getting brand-new digs this Fall, including beachfront pools for them, and multiple viewing windows for you. It's a big, exciting move for the flock—so please keep in mind that the opening date depends upon when they're all feeling adjusted to their new home.

RECOMMENDED ROUTE

Denver Zoo has created recommended route around the entire park, Denver Zoo Parkway and its connected trails and loops, that allows guests to view a majority of Denver Zoo’s animal habitats and gardens.

Use of this path is recommended, but not required, as it simply provides an intuitive way to experience as many of our animals as possible.

If you would like to explore a smaller section of the Zoo or go directly to a specific place—an exhibit, restaurant or restroom, for example—you are welcome to do so. We also offer a shortcut that divides the Zoo into two shorter experiences.

Hand-Washing Stations

Hand sanitizer and hand-washing stations have been placed throughout campus—including at restrooms, the entry and exit, the entry and exit doors of all buildings and all dining areas. Please use them.

What We Are Asking Guests to Do to Keep Our Community Safe

Guests at Denver Zoo should follow these guidelines during their visit:

  • If you, or a family member feel sick, we ask that you respect the safety of others (including our animals) and stay home. We look forward to welcoming you when you're feeling better!
  • All guests are asked to maintain a physical distance of at least six (6) feet from guests, other staff members and volunteers.
  • Wash your hands often and avoid touching your face.
  • Avoid touching surfaces.

What Denver Zoo Is Doing to Keep You Safe

In order to keep our guests, staff and animals safe, Denver Zoo has enacted the following safety practices:

  • The number of guests in attendance is limited each day
  • High touch surfaces, including restrooms, are being disinfected frequently on a schedule. Some high-touch surfaces like restaurant tables and chairs are being cleaned immediately after use.
  • Additional hand-sanitizer and hand-washing stations have been placed throughout the park including at restrooms, the Zoo’s entry and exit, the entry and exit doors of all buildings and all dining locations.
  • To eliminate another potential touch point, individual personal maps will no longer be distributed. Denver Zoo will provide an interactive digital map for free on its mobile app.
