Denver Zoo To Close Bird World Exhibit In October
Denver Zoo officials say the exhibit needs extensive, costly repairs, and no longer meets the needs of animals and guests.
DENVER (CBS4) – The Denver Zoo announced plans Thursday to tear down the Bird World exhibit in early 2020. The $1.25 million exhibit opened in 1973 and featured more than 100 different species of rare, colorful birds.
Zoo officials say the exhibit needs extensive, costly repairs and no longer meets the needs of animals and guests. Bird World will close Oct. 1 to make room for a new animal habitat and guests experiences.
