The Denver Zoo is free on January 10th – Here’s how to get reservations

Jan 2, 2025, 3:51 PM | Updated: 4:01 pm

The last time I took my family of five to a zoo, it was investment. So, with a little planning you could save a bunch of money by going on a “free day.”

The Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, formally known as the Denver Zoo, offers seven “Community Free Days” throughout the year for anyone in our community. The first one is in about a week on Jan. 10.

To provide the best experience, the zoo offers only a limited number of tickets for each Free Day, available on a first-come, first served basis. However, at the time of publishing this article, there were many timeslots still available.

Reservations are not required for zoo members.

Reserve your time here.
