Get Your Free Timed Entry Reservation Now! – Denver Zoo's Toyota Elephant Passage opened today! We are excited to finally share our beautiful new, $50 million, state-of-the-art exhibit for Asian elephants, Malayan tapirs and greater one-horned rhinos with you! With old friends, like elephants Mimi and Dolly, and lots of future favorites, like elephants Bodhi and Groucho, there is something for everyone in Toyota Elephant Passage. Featuring six expansive outdoor yards, three animal crossings and more than 1.1 million gallons of water, it offers an unparalleled experience for guests and animals alike.
 Within Toyota Elephant Passage, guests will be surrounded by the beautiful animals of tropical Asia. From this central standpoint, visitors will be able to experience animal crossings at three different locations, when elephants, rhinos and tapirs rotate among different yards throughout the day. Once immersed in the exhibit, visitors will encounter volunteers and staff sharing stories about animals and noteworthy exhibit features. Eye-catching graphics call out places for children to use their animal observation skills, while interactive features encourage kids to "try on" an animal's world, like a leopard's log and a gibbon brachiation station.  Themed elements throughout the exhibit help explain the diverse cultures of tropical Asia – a key to understanding the complicated relationships between people and animals. "Take Action Stations," provide a window into the zoo's conservation efforts, both here and in the field, and provide ways guests can help.
In addition to elephants, rhinos and tapirs, the exhibit also is home to numerous other animals. Species new to Denver Zoo include greater one-horned rhino, the aptly-named fishing cat, playful Asian small-clawed otters and flying foxes – bats that showcase four-foot wing spans. Beautiful clouded leopards also make their return to Denver Zoo in a specially-created habitat complete with climbing trees for this arboreal species.
 Your entry into the new exhibit is included with your zoo admission, but we do ask that you make a free timed entry reservation to see Toyota Elephant Passage. Once you enter Toyota Elephant Passage, you will be able to explore as long as you like. Reservations may be made online or at the zoo, though advance, online reservations are highly recommended. Same day reservations can be made at the zoo if there is availability. Zoo guests may enter Denver Zoo at any time throughout the day, but must be at the new exhibit during their reserved entrance time. Guests should allow one hour to park and walk to the new exhibit from the main entrance. Entry into the exhibit will be on at Peter and Ella's Crossing, the animal transfer bridge on the east side of the site. Watch video of today's Grand Opening!
We can't wait for you to visit Toyota Elephant Passage!
