The Denver Zoo offers seven free days in 2011. As a member of the SCFD the zoo offers free admission to all comers on specific days. We listed the Denver Art Museum free days for 2011 earlier and with the next free day at the Denver Zoo coming up soon, I thought it would be a good time to get those listed here as well.

If you noticed that there are no summer free days for the Denver Zoo, you aren’t mistaken. The zoo makes much more money on admission during the warm summer days than during the winter months. As a non-profit organization constantly looking for more funding, you can can’t really blame them.
There are also no free Denver Zoo days in December because the popular Zoo Lights event draws in good crowds for that month.
If you go to the zoo more than two or three times a year, it is probably worth looking into a membership which gives you free admission to the zoo any day of the year.
If you have a membership, it is a good idea to stay away from the zoo on the free days. Even though the zoo free admission days are in the less crowded winter months, they are very popular. You’ll get much smaller crowds and easier parking going on a non-free day since you get free admission with your zoo membership anyway.
