The Denver Zoo has a pedigree almost as impressive as those of the animals it houses. Established in 1896, the facility is by far the city's most popular attraction as it welcomes over one million visitors every year. You'll find over 4,000 animals here that represent 700 species. See leopards, king cobras, black rhinos, coral reef fish, elephants, zebras, vampire bats, gorillas and much more. The kids will also enjoy the petting areas and highly informative special exhibits scattered throughout this highly entertaining venue.

There's nothing quite like enjoying an adventure in the great outdoors, and when you're in Aurora, the best place to have that experience is at Cherry Creek State Park. There are group camping sites available, or just enough space for you and the family. Either way, camping fees apply and they do not include the price of a park pass. The site gets rave reviews for being a safe, quiet area with lots of great amenities and attractions that include walking paths, horse stables, restrooms, jet ski rentals and even firewood for your campsite.

The whole family will enjoy a galloping good time when you visit the Paint Horse Stables. The guides who take you on your scenic horse ride are experts at making you feel relaxed as well as educating you on the finer points of guiding your horse to ensure a completely enjoyable experience. If you're a horse lover, you will love this experience. If you're not, you will be by the time your horse brings you safely back from your trip.
