Tiny enclosures! Some animals are running loose among the public unsupervised, leaving them open to harassment by mean spirited children (and adults), my family didn't enjoy our trip to this zoo at all. I would recommend The Wild Animal Sanctuary, Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, or Serenity Spring Wildlife Center. They are all excellent options near Denver for anyone interested in seeing wild animals in a more natural (and humane) setting AND know that the admission fee goes to the animals! It is well worth the trip. I've been to some zoos that seem to genuinely care about the animals and their quality of life (most notably the Portland OR. Zoo who have huge enclosures), Denver is NOT one of those types of zoos. They make little to no effort to replicate natural habitats here. They just continue adding new animals and tiny enclosures instead of giving the existing animals decent enclosures and quality of life. The animals are pacing, nervous, and depressed in many cases. You're better off not supporting businesses like them, they truly are just a business, not a place who loves their animals.
