Great zoo on the side of a mountain. There are a lot of Giraffes that you can feed. Then we took an elevator to the top then made our way down through the many exhibits. Our favorites Australia with Wallabees roaming free and the Grizzly Bears

What a beautiful zoo! I got a good workout as well as it is built on the Cheyenne Mountain. We enjoyed all the exhibits and especially enjoyed feeding the giraffes and the elephants. The skyway was a delight with such spectacular views! My only disappointment was not being able to go to The Shrine to the Sun as I was dropped off by Uber. You cannot walk up to the Shrine and there is no trolley service available. If you are in Colorado Springs make time for the zoo!

While attending a family reunion in the area, about 25 family members visited the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. Tickets were ordered online, and there were still hourly options available the evening before our visit. With an elevation of 6,700 feet, it is the highest zoo in the USA. The 'mountain' in the zoo's title is also accurate, as it is quite hilly! It is an absolutely beautiful zoo, with many varieties of animals featured in their natural habitat. The family favorite was their time spent feeding and interacting with the giraffes!🦒 It was a wonderful family outing making precious memories!

So many animals you can see up close. Being able to feed a giraffe, rhino and elephant were incredible. Love that the actual keepers were around to answer you questions. Great kid area for them to play in. The food was delicious compared to the food at most zoos. You have to by tickets in advance and it is a timed entry. We went from 11:00 -11:30 and it was perfect. Would have loved to ride the skyway but ran out of time.

Giraffes there were 14 of them! I do think their area needs to be a little bigger! Mountains surrounding the zoo makes it neat! Pizza there was very good! I would recommend the zoo. Do be prepared to walk up & down hills and climb a lot of stairs.

This was our first trip to Colorado. We live near Chicago and have some wonderful zoos near us, but this zoo was amazing. It was smaller than the ones at home, but the enclosures were large, had plenty of shade and structure, and were closer to the people, which made the animals easier to observe. There was still a good variety of animals to see. The kids absolutely loved feeding the animals, and the cost to do so did not break the bank as at other zoos. The animals here were active and looked very healthy and happy. We loved the freedom given to some of the animals. It took us about 6 hours to go though the zoo, but we like to stop and watch the animals and read the information, so we go at a slow pace. I felt the price was a little high at almost $40 per person, but there are signs telling you that they get no government funding, so all of their operational costs come from donations and your admission costs. I was happy to pay it after seeing the care the animals received. We would definitely recommend visiting. Be sure to pre-purchase your tickets. You are required to have one in order to enter and they limit how many people per day can visit, so they often sell out.

We took the Starlight Tour with our adult daughter, son, their spouses and grandchildren ages, 9, 8 and 6. Rachel and Korina were our guides and I can not say enough about what a wonderful experience they provided! Our grands asked really great questions and Rachel and Korina were infinitely patient and engaged. Definitely recommend this awesome zoo and the Starlight Tour!!

This is one of the best zoos I’ve been to! The view is amazing from around the zoo and the variety of animals is impressive! We got up close and personal with giraffes, lions, and the Mexican wolves. We also did the skylift which was a lot of fun.

Really nice zoo. Well run, clean, lots of friendly staff. We, 2 adults , 1 teen, 1 pre-teen, spent 4 hours seeing all exhibits, sky ride and an expensive lunch

Great place to take the kids and family for the day!! It was very warm the afternoon we were there, so make sure to take umbrellas, water and sun screen on those warm days. The zoo had fans and water sprayers available and the grandsons loved that! Take advantage of those as they are available. We had an early entry, so that helped some with the crowd, but there were still a lot of people there.
