Kids get into the Denver Zoo for free through the end of the year

Dec 19, 2024, 4:10 PM

The kids are out of school for a couple of weeks for the holidays. So, if they start driving you crazy at home, here’s something to keep in mind…

Through Dec. 31, the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance is offering “Free Kids December” in partnership with Primrose Schools. All children 15 years old and younger will receive free daytime admission through the end of the year.

The zoo is open everyday during the holidays except for Christmas Day. Adults accompanying children can purchase tickets for $15.75. Those older than 65 years old can purchase a ticket for $13.65.

If you’d rather take in Denver Zoo Lights, that runs through Jan. 5. General admission prices will cost adults and seniors $25 and children $18. Peak nights will cost adults and seniors $28 and children $21. Tickets can be purchased on the zoo’s website.
