This zoo may be smaller than some zoos, but the location on the side of the mountain is very relaxing and there are some great views of Colorado Springs. There are some great exhibits now, too. The African Rift Valley where you can feed the giraffes is right in the front and definitely the highlight of the zoo. Spend the... more

The zoo offers one of the best views of the city. That's the nicest thing I can say about it. We paid to ride the tram (or at least, they SAID there was a tram!) In the three hours we walked up mountainous pathways, we saw one tram. Needless to say, this little tram was full to capacity! We went... more

This zoo is not huge, but is so clean and the animal areas are very large and nice. The new grizzly bear exhibit literally puts you within a couple of feet of the bears. The budgie buddies exhibit is not to be missed, my kids loved it! And don't forget to do the Mountaineer sky ride while you are there.... more

I thought the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo rivaled our Fort Worth Zoo in many ways. The exhibits were much better. The animals sure seemed happy. Especially the hippos and giraffes. We really enjoyed the ski lift as well! Well worth $5 for the day. There are only 2 restaurants though, so get close to one before lunch time! There is a... more

We recently were on vacation in Colorado and decided to take the kids to the zoo. So glad we did! We all loved it. Feeding the giraffes was a highlight for the kids. The highlight for me was watching the grizzly bear swim in the water. We watched through the glass and loved it. I wish we had a local... more

This is a great zoo to visit! Be aware that it actually is set on a mountain and it is all uphill. I was very happy that I was not pushing a stroller. Even on a hot day, there is shade to be found everwhere, so don't let a hot day deter you. They do offer a tram and for... more

I love this place! I happen to live here in the Springs and this is my favorite place to visit with my child. I grew up going to big zoos like the Bronx Zoo (NYC) and although they are very different environments, this place is my favorite. I recently took my brother here--who also grew up doing to the Bronx... more

FYI: They offer a AAA discount. When you first walk in, you pass by the giraffes and can purchase giraffe crackers to feed them, it's really cool! It is important to know that this zoo can be strenuous and so if you have a stroller to push all day and/or you have trouble walking up hills then this zoo isn't... more

The best thing about the zoo is the view. Part of the zoo was under construction when we were there, but there was no indication of what exhibits had moved or the detours that you needed to take to get there, and pushing strollers up and down the mountain to get where you needed to be was very frustrating. Zoo... more

Went to the zoo May 8th. Beautiful sunny day. The zoo was very nice. It is built on the side of a mountain. The view is incredible overlooking Colorado Springs. Lots of cool animal exhibits. Gorilla exhibit was very nice. Girraffe feeding & exhibit was really up close & cool. raised platforms put you at their head level to feed... more
