Yes, it's true! The Denver Zoo has a full page ad in April's issue of Chicago Magazine, featuring it's Giraffe Encounter, which allows patrons to get up close and personal with the giraffes and hand feed them. However, the problem is that as far as I can tell, it is rarely open. The entrance usually has a sign across the gate saying "tummies full," or just shut with no explanation at all. After driving a thousand miles to have a zoo encounter and finding a locked gate, I think the average Chicagoan would be justifiably perturbed. Hell, I'm perturbed and I live only 5 miles away. Perhaps the zoo better find an attractive alternative to feeding the giraffes, such as riding the giraffes. Now that would be something to drive a thousand miles for.
