Wild Animal Sanctuary

The Wild Animal Sanctuary, located in Keenesburg, is the world’s oldest and largest sanctuary dedicated to rescuing captive exotic and endangered animals.

The sanctuary is a place you can see animals and also learn about the Captive Wildlife Crisis. Unlike a zoo, here you’ll see the animals living in large open habitats, rather than in exhibits. Every animal was rescued from an illegal or abusive situation. Besides general admission tickets, you can also opt for a special group tour for an additional fee. This will give you an in-depth look and allow you to learn even more about the sanctuary.

Denver Aquarium

There is plenty for the entire family to do and see at the Downtown Aquarium in Denver.

It houses more than 500 species of animals as well as an interactive stingray reef touch tank. Explore coral reef exhibits as well as animals that call our part of the world home. You can also watch mermaids swim as you learn about the importance of taking care of the environment. When everyone gets hungry and needs a break, you don’t have to leave the aquarium and search for a nearby restaurant. Grab a bite to eat at the restaurant on-site surrounded by fish tanks that are home to more than 100 species of colorful and tropical fish.

Feel free to take a self-guided tour or hop on a bus with a tour guide. If you want to get a workout in during your visit, take a hike along Triceratops Trail.
