Great family fun adventure!We liked that it was free! We LOVED all of the exhibits! WOW! Even my teens liked it. Everyone agreed that if we are in the area again we want to stop and see what is new!
It is so nice to be able to enjoy an outing with the family and not worry about offensive materials!
Thank you for sharing your talents with us!1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphere

Wow!This is a great place to go with your family! I would recommend it to anyone. It is very artsy and fun. It felt as if you stepped into another world, one where you can see dinosaurs, robots, and other metal marvels!1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Very interesting artThe sheer number of pieces to look at is what I found most astonishing. How did one man build all this? The zoo is getting a little bit run down, not that I cast any blame - a $2 donation (which fee is optional) it is hardly enough to maintain such a large exhibit. I'd advise dropping in a bit extra.
The works of art are rusty, but really ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

The most generous man in America!The creativity of a museum, the setting of a zoo - minus the smell! My family has enjoyed this place for the past 8 years. Go when it isn't storming..... lightening & this amount of metal do NOT agree. :)
All of this created by a humble, quiet, talented & giving man that just wanted to bring joy to others. It is 'free' - but, please leave a donation as a thank you for his generous spirit!2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue -

Fun for everyone!Full of welded art and really creative and also free! Fun for all ages to do late in the day. This is a great place to take fun photos of the family. Do the walk slowly as there are great details you will miss if you rush! Loved it! Afterwards, head West on Harmony toward the Mountains to eat at a number of great restaurants! Ft. Collins has it all!2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Come one come allThe Swetsville Zoo will captivate the young and the old. The young will enjoy the variety, size and character of each piece. The middle will enjoy the added humor that a more experienced mind can wrap around. The older will recognize many of the parts and pieces that are used to make a whole new creation.
The only guide is the laminated paper at ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL -
See it before it's gone!Wonderful collection of sculptures with a great sense of humor throughout. My favorites include the fisherman, two-headed dragon, and 'ant picnic.' With a super wal-mart currently under construction across the street, Swetsville may soon be replaced by yet another Home Depot or similar big box. Catch this gem before it's razed!2 of 2 Yahoo!

wonderful free hourThis surprising metal zoo of amazingly lifelike creatures is also laugh-out-loud funny. Rusty junk bewitched into delightful entertainment...
Peaceful woodsy paths along a big river show off a hundred metal sculptures. There's also a Swetcycles museum among other odd buildings. Open and relaxed, few parking spots so it can't get too crowded...
Bill Swet was still happily working when we dropped by last summer.You have found this review helpful.2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue
