So You Wanna See a Lion Without Getting Eaten (Probably): A Guide to Denver Zoo Ticket Prices
Let's face it, folks, the zoo is where childhood dreams come true. You get to see majestic creatures like lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!) without having to run a marathon through the Serengeti (or, you know, risk becoming their lunch). But before you unleash your inner zoo explorer, there's one burning question: how much does this animalistic adventure cost?

The Not-So-Scary Price Breakdown
Fear not, intrepid adventurer! Denver Zoo ticket prices are actually quite reasonable. Here's a quick rundown so you can budget your animal-filled day:
- Adults (16-64): $25.20 - That's less than a fancy coffee and a bagel, people! For this price, you get to see everything from playful penguins to grumpy grizzlies (although we can't guarantee they won't be grumpy).
- Seniors (65+): $22.05 - Respect to our elders! The zoo offers a discount for those with a little more wisdom (and maybe a touch more time to spend with the animals).
- Youth (3-15): $18.90 - This is where it gets exciting for the kiddos! They get to see all their favorite animals without putting a huge dent in your wallet.
- Kids 2 and Under: Free - Because toddlers are basically little explorers themselves, and the zoo knows they'll be too busy chasing pigeons to need an expensive ticket.
But Wait, There's More! (Money-Saving Edition)
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
Looking to save a few bucks on your zoo adventure? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are some ways to snag a deal:
- SNAP Explorer Card: Holders can get discounted admission ($3 per card, up to 10 guests). Just another reason to stock up on that peanut butter! (Disclaimer: Not for actual bribing of zoo animals).
- 5X5 Denver School Program: This program offers seven free days a year for school groups. So, if you have a little one in the Denver Public School system, this could be your ticket to free zoo fun! Just be sure to reserve those tickets in advance.
