Colorado Adventure Day 5

Day 5 - Denver Zoo

 Today we visited the Denver Zoo. One of the highlights was seeing the baby leopard, who was born this year. He was racing around the room playing and pouncing. It was really cute.

 Their reptile house is very large with many exhibits! We went in twice to see everything. This is a Komodo Dragon. I just missed getting a photo of him with his mouth open.

 We got timed tickets (free with admission) to see the new Toyota Elephant Pavilion, which just opened. It's a very large area with lots of room for the elephants to move around and many different outdoor areas they can go into.

We rode the little train they have, which just goes in a little loop. They also have this sculpture kids can climb on, which seemed to me to be a very Colorado-specific thing, so I took photos of the kids (and monkey) on it.

Overall it was a fun but tiring day at the zoo. We were there about five hours and saw almost everything. Having been to many zoos, I'd say the elephant area is the nicest and most unique.
