What was intended to be a quick side-of-the-road photo opportunity turned into one of the most pleasant surprises of the trip: The Swetsville Zoo!Frommers.com says:
Don't come to Bill Swets's zoo expecting to find animals -- not live ones, that is. The sculpture park is a constantly growing menagerie of more than 150 dinosaurs and other real and imaginary animals, flowers, and windmills -- all constructed from car parts, farm machinery, and other scrap metal. The whimsical nature of the sculptures is a delight for kids as well as adults.
Each piece was an amazing amalgam of rusty bits and pieces welded together to create something that looked like it could turn its head and walk off at any moment. Truly a must-see for anyone with kids passing through northern Colorado! Rocky Mountains? Pshaw!We may not know much about art... but we know The Swetsville Zoo was awesome!
