I go to Colorado Springs every summer and this is the big highlight. My kids, a 11year old And a 6 yr old, both love it. With the up close expericences and the feeding of the giraffes, this mountain zoo is wonderful.

Wow!! Have been to many zoos but seldom saw as many animals on display. The budgie buddies exhibit and feeding of the wolves were highlights.

The zoo is poorly mapped and wraps around in an unusual manner, the kids loved feeding the giraffes

Scenic and with outstanding animal exhibits, this zoo is fantastic. I have nothing against the Denver zoo, in fact I go there with my daughters often. But this zoo is incredible. From the interactive giraffe exhibit to the up-close and personal bear and tiger experiences, my who family had a great time. Can't wait to go back and seen the... More

I thought this was an exceptionally depressing zoo. It doesn't seem to have been modernized or use modern approaches to zoos. It made me sad to visit as an adult. Might be okay for children.

My grandkids LOVE to go to the Zoo. CMZ is a great place to take the family. LOTS of climbing, so make sure to take your water bottle!!! I love the Giraffes, even if they are stinky!!!

Being seniors, we love this little zoo. It's got everything the large zoos have but in a smaller space on the side of a mountain. You can ride the little trams or the skychairs but the walk is just not that long either. They have a giraffe exhibit which leaves us breathless...how about feeding a giraffe? All exhibits are close-up,... More

The zoo was beautiful and very interactive. There were lots of activities you don't normally find at a zoo, feeding giraffes, chair lift that takes you over the zoo, open bird house where you can feed the birds, lots more. Also lots of fun animals, like the naked mole rat. The admission price is a little high and it cost... More

The best part about this zoo is the location, situated on the side of the mountain with amazing views. I loved being able to feed the giraffes :)
