Parking Garage Theming

Denver Zoo (Denver, CO)

IMAGES

How many parking structures have you been in? Now how many do you remember? The Denver Zoo’s parking garage is unforgettable.

High-impact banner graphics announce the garage from the street. Drive under perched metal vultures and snake bang bars. Looks like a fun place. Dramatic animal-themed wayfinding graphics identify each level. “Mom, let’s park at macaw!”

A soundtrack symphony of squeals, roars, chirps, and bellows greets visitors on every floor.

The short walk to the zoo entrance is enhanced by a troop of colorful metal monkeys leaping and swinging from a forest of tensile cable “vines.” Taking the elevator? Get ready for a fun surprise. Super-graphic habitat photos on the doors are a hint to what you might find inside.

Visitors are psyched for their zoo adventure, even before they get out of their cars and walk to the ticket booth.
