I've been to this zoo a million times and it's stayed pretty much the same. The elephant exhibit is new, the tropical exhibit was built in the mid 90s, same with the primate exhibit, nearly everything else is from like... the 50s. I feel like the enclosures are too small, (specifically for the large mammals like giraffes, rhinos, and elephants) but it's not like the Denver Zoo snatched their animals up out of the wild, most of them were bred in captivity. The animals seem happy enough but if you want them to come near you, you need to wear clothes similar to the zoo uniform so they think they are being fed. This zoo is a bit crowded, particularly on the weekends but if you are able to go on a week day during school that's your best bet. My cousin has mobility issues and my aunt takes her to the zoo all the time, I'm sure there are areas they avoid (like the tropical exhibit) but they usually have a good time.
The food is bad, and expensive. Just pack a lunch.

Overall, I like the zoo, it's not the best zoo in the world but it's a good time, my kids love it.
