Lots of great exhibits and the animals look well cared for. I would love for more non zoo attractions and services. More food stands for instance.
It's a big zoo, especially suitable for bringing children. There are many animals, and the animals look very energetic. The park itself is also a very beautiful place. And there are not many visitors.

I heard it was small at first, so I didn't have high expectations. But I really liked it when I went there. I saw a lot of small animals, such as seahorses, sea otters, clown fish (Nemo), jellyfish, and sharks. DOWNTOWN AQUARIUM is actually quite interesting. It's worth a visit. I didn't see the tiger, probably because he was lazy and went to sleep. I used a discount coupon and it was 10% cheaper.
The downtown aquarium in Denver belongs to a relatively small organization. The aquarium raises a large number of organisms, and there are many glass display cabinets. You can see some interactive buttons in the water of the breeders, and there are many large fish.

The Museum of Natural Science is located in the city park. It is a natural museum with a history of more than 100 years. It is also one of the largest natural museums in the United States. It is worth visiting, especially for tourists with children.
When we arrived at the Natural Science Museum, it was already closed, so it was a pity that we couldn't go in. This is a very large natural science museum. A friend of mine has been there before and he said it's bigger than the Shanghai Natural History Museum and is very suitable for taking children there.

The weather is very good and the whole botanical garden is quite beautiful. It is known as the Plateau City. The botanical garden is very large and you can see many different plants. It is also a very relaxing botanical garden.
The gardens are well laid out with plenty of space to wander through the different plant areas. The water feature is wonderful and adds to the tranquility of the gardens. The children's garden is an attractive area for children. ..
