You push open a gate, the park breathing around you: puddles reflecting a blue Colorado sky, gulls loud over Ferril Lake, and the occasional call of a goose daring you toward the next clue. The app pings; your group splits up, each phone a compass that teases out plaques, statues, and hidden details on building façades and exhibit markers.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

City Park owes its shape to Denver’s late-19th-century boom—designed as a civic green when the city pushed toward the Front Range. The zoo and the nearby Museum of Nature & Science are pieces of that civic plan, combining urban leisure and natural history on the High Plains edge. Geologically, you’re standing on older river terraces with a clear line of sight to the Front Range; cultural layers—public art, Victorian-era monuments, and contemporary murals—sit on top of that terrain.
The hunt moves you through local stories: the park’s early donors, the zoo’s century-long conservation work, and the way Denverers use this green room for picnics, late-afternoon runs, and community events. Expect close-up encounters with pond birds and sculpted bronze plaques rather than full animal enclosures—the game rewards observation as much as speed.
Practical side: the experience is app-led and self-guided (start anytime), runs about 90–120 minutes, and asks for moderate walking. Bring a charged smartphone, a portable battery, and comfortable shoes; wear layers for sudden Front Range winds. Keep voices low near exhibits, follow park rules, and check the app for route details so you’re not surprised by paid attractions along the way.

Download the Let’s Roam app, redeem your voucher in “3rd Party Vouchers,” pick the City Park Zoo hunt and start the game; it’s self-guided so you can begin anytime.
This ticket provides access to the Let’s Roam digital hunt only; if the route includes exhibits behind paid gates you will need to purchase zoo admission separately—check the app map before you begin.
The hunt is listed as wheelchair accessible and follows mostly paved park routes, though some sections may have slight grade or uneven surfaces—check specific segments in the app for accessibility details.
One voucher is required per booking but the app allows multiple players to be added to the game lobby so teams can play together on separate devices.
City Park and Denver Zoo trace back to the late 1800s; the park was developed as part of Denver’s civic expansion and the zoo opened in the 1890s as a public attraction.
Be mindful of park wildlife—stick to paths, pack out trash, and consider supporting Denver Zoo’s conservation programs if you visit their exhibits.
