Amazing experience. COVD restrictions in place (must wear masks in building). Restaurants are opened. Loved seeing the animals again. The zip line was great as well. You ride up, get off, look around the top of the zoo, get back on and go down. There are animals viewable from the zip line once you are in the air.Tennis shoes are best as sons of the walk is uphill.

This zoo is spectacular! The setting is beautiful and relaxing, you feel like youre in the mountains. The animal set ups are so natural and large. You get an opportunity to see so many animals up close and interact with them, most at no extra charge. Really a great experience all around. Best zoo in Colorado for sure!

Fun place for kids and adults. Interactive attractions where you can feed the animals. The cost for the food is up there so be prepared to bring at least $10 minimum if you have a kid that would love to engage in this type of activity. Also costs extra to ride their lift “sky ride”. Be prepared to do a good amount of walking. If you’re from out of state please be aware of the elevation difference throughout the zoo. I do believe they offer a ride for people who may need it (probably costs more money ) overall a fun experience!

This is one of these best Zoos me and my family has been too!! You can get really close to the animals and there are so many animals! The kids were able to feed the giraffes as well as the birds and they loved feeding the birds!! We has a great time and cant wait to go back. If ever in Colorado Springs you def need to visit this Zoo! So much to do and so much fun you will not be disappointed!!

This is a wonderful zoo . The natural scenery is amazing, and the zoo has undergone extensive renovations to modernize their exhibits to make them more spacious and habitat like. This zoo cares about conservation and deserves support from the community. Its an awesome day trip any time of the year--you wont regret your visit!!

Loved our visit here! Wow is there a bunch of uphill walking so bring a water and a good attitude. I loved how close you can get to seeing some of the animals and how friendly everyone is. I was even impressed that the food was better than most parks offer. I wish there were more park maps posted around the park since during COVID times there was no paper maps. Great visit and a must when visiting Colorado Springs.

Enjoyable zoo. Be prepared to walk, this is on the side of the mountain so there is quite a climb heading through the exhibits.The staff are super friendly and informative. The exhibits were nice and clean. Theres a ton of animals that you can get up close with. Its really a cool zoo.If you find my review helpful please click like.

So glad to have made it with enough time to spare before closing. Staff was kind enough to give us a lift on the cart so that we could catch the last gondola ride.Giraffe were hilarious, they easily recognized who had lettuce for them vs who didnt.Great experience.

Great zoo, lots of animals and opportunities to interact closely with them. The skyride is amazing to soak in the view of the city and see the zoo from above. My kids are 12. 9 and 9 months old and all love it. We love that there are restaurants and cafes available, but you are also able to bring in food and drink to enjoy a picnic. Lots of places and tables to rest and have snacks, and overall great place to spend the day

We have been to multiple zoos throughout the US and this was hands down our families favorite! Its built into the side of a mountain that makes it unique but the fun doesnt stop there! Some of the exhibit areas have animals freely roaming amongst the grounds AND you can feed the giraffes! Oh and did I mention that there is a sky ride/chair lift that gives your legs a break and opportunity to get a birds eye view of the zoo and the surrounding city?! My kids are still talking about all the fun they had. We will definitely be back

I loved this zoo! I can’t believe I never went before. Feeding the giraffes was such a neat experience. We got to see the lions being fed. I love all of the scenic view points. It was very clean, the staff were very nice and helpful.We had ice cream and pop corn as snacks. A little expensive but it was very good.It is a lot of waking up and down hills which can be challenging, but it was very shady and there are lots of places to rest.

This is hands down the best zoo Ive ever been to! I cant wait to go back! The animals are all up close and getting to interact with them was awesome! Also, there were a lot of baby animals which was really cool.

I took my four kids (teens and elementary aged) here and we all had a great time. The zoo is beautifully set in the mountainside and the exhibits are all easy to find. The sky ride provides a great view of the city. The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable. The giraffe feeding is a must. I would highly recommend going!

Beautiful zoo! You get to see the animals up close an personal the giraffes come right up to you ..the wallabies are right there yo u can almost touch them..though I wouldnt at all..def get you kicked out..not very crowded Beautiful setting nestled in the mountain side..exhibits an houses for the animals are top notch! Wonderful place an experience

The best part of this zoo has to be the sky ride and being able to feed the giraffes. The feeds are $5 for 2 feedings. The giraffes are very aware that you’re there to feed them and they’ll stick their whole tongue out for you. The sky ride provides a nice view. It’s weird how you have to get off only to get back on but that was okay. The only part I don’t like about the zoo is that every area is so small for the animals and they seem very sad.

We had such a great time at the zoo! Lots to see, and I love the layout. Not always walking directly in the sun, there are some shaded areas as well. Good views of the animals, and good variety. Didnt see much for cold/water Animals like polar bears, seals, penguins, etc, but still a great experience.

Great place for a family visit. Unlike many other Zoos I have visited, this place feels a lot more interactive with animals and other thing. Plenty of things to keeps kids excited. The ability to feed the giraffes is a plus

Im not a fan of going to the zoo but the atmosphere at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is different. In addition to the amazing views seen from Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, I enjoyed walking up and down the terrain checking out all the animals.

One of our favorite zoos we’ve ever visited! The views alone are spectacular. We went 2 hours before closing(secure a time slot ahead of time) we watched the storms in the distance and we were lucky it didn’t come our way! 2 hours was definitely a sufficient amount of time to see all the animals. It wasn’t busy at the time we went. We got to feed($5) the giraffes and interact with them. All the animals were pretty lively. Walking through the wallaby section was a surprise, they pretty much kept to themselves, but it was cool to see them up close! The ice cream($5.99) popcorn($5?) and pretzel($6?) were a good snack! They have 2-3 spots to grab real food at top with great views.Don’t skip out on this activity to do with the family if you’re in Colorado Springs!

Absolutely love the hands on experience here! So many fun interactions and so many beautiful views. Its actually a small zoo, but it has so much to offer that I will most definitely be back. You get to interact with the animals, close up opportunities, gorgeous views and really nice scenic walk/hike around. Definitely bring comfy shoes and wear comfy clothes because its a walk around that is worth it.

I loved the zoo. It was pretty big. Had plenty of animals and dining options as well as a coffee shop which I absolutely loved. The sky ride was great and the employees were helpful and friendly.

Always a great experience - whether you try to see it all, or you just choose to focus on one exhibit/region. Their Boo at the Zoo events, along with Electric Safari and adult date nights give some variety for zoo visitors.Surprisingly, this zoo is not supported by taxpayer money, but through donations and business profits from the day-to-day operation. Im afraid the recent attempts to upgrade facilities reflect the careful cost considerations, and sometimes result in smaller scale projects than originally hoped.For example, the new penguin and hippopotamus display is open and it is not what I expected. We are so happy for their return, but the penguins are in such a small area with a smaller view that the exhibit has built in markers outside the building and down the walk for the inevitable lines to get in to the building to see them. I can appreciate that we want to see them, but they may not wish to be seen, but there is nothing advising people to that hiding places are intentional so they will leave them alone and move on either.If you plan to visit, wear good shoes or buy a trolley pass, bring water, sunscreen and a jacket, and make a day of it. The Sky Ride costs extra, but its an excellent way to relax and see the zoo and city from the air. For animal safety: no straws allowed, no outside food allowed.When you visit be kind to the creatures the zoo is working to help protect and conserve. And make sure others are too - its never too early for children to learn kindness and respect!

First time here. I never thought a zoo could actually exist on the steep terrain just minutes west from Colorado Springs. It literally sits in the foothills.They have a great amount of wildlife. The animals really seem to be well taken care of. After talking with a staff member in charge of the elephants, CMZ has REALLY comes far in attaining a high degree of recognition among zoos. They are a bit pricey, especially with consessions inside but it is a good time. Recommended.

Fantastic. I took my kids here. Feeding the parakeets was awesome. The birds even landed an my daughters head.The pizza slices were big, tasty and filling.Park staff was extremely helpful and very nice.

This place does not disappoint. Great for an all day visit. Great workout climbing the hills to get to the different habitats. Bathrooms are always very clean and staff are exceptionally friendly.Best experience was when their staff let my daughter throw lettuce off the bridge to feed the bears below us. We didn’t have to pay extra either, just good timing. Make a trip there any time of year!

The zoo is wonderful. The enclosures are very well maintained and really feel like comfortable homes for their inhabitants versus cages. All of the staff clearly love what they do, and at no point did I feel people were dissatisfied with their work; be it from the attendants with the animals to the kiosk personnel and the individuals maintaining the cleanliness of the area. The prices are reasonable for entry and the food offerings are tasty. We will definitely be returning in the future!

This is a zoo that really tries. Between the ongoing construction and the different events they put on you can tell they care. A lot of the larger animals really should have more space. The primates dont have the most enriching looking habitats which is a bit sad. The new hippo and penguin exhibits are awesome and totally worth visiting. The bathrooms are nice and clean. The food is overpriced but very very good. A lot of the keepers are happy to talk to you about the animals which is awesome.All in all I love this zoo. I just really wish they would only keep animals they can give only the best lives to.

This zoo is amazing! Being on the side of mountain, the landscape is beautiful and really memicks the animals wildlife. The exhibits are very open and you get to feel so close to the animals. It is a lot of walking, so be prepared to spend the day taking it all in. The SkyRide was 3 dollars with unlimited rides! Our favorite waa feeding the giraffes. This zoo is a must!

Love this zoo!! On the 2 separate occasions we got to feed the bears a snack and go down to feed the elephants. Workers here are friendly and willing to give each visitor a one-of-a-kind experience.

I havent been hers since I was a child, in the 80s. Its fantastic! I loved sharing it with my teenage son. The emphasis on conservation and education are topnotch, their dedication to safety and cleanliness was great, and the animal habitats were delightful! They do so much in such a small space.

I am from New York transplanted to Colorado. In NY the Bronx Zoo would be the standard I am used to, but the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is FAR superior to anything I have ever seen. This is a must goto out it on your bucket list! You can thank me later!! Truly a wonderful experience and a memory the entire family will cherish forever.

I LOVE this zoo. Ive been a few times over the years. You can tell all the animals are happy. I love all the new updates, the penguin exhibit is beautiful! The keepers and docents are all very nice. You can tell they love their jobs.

I absolutely loved this zoo. My wife and I were visiting from Dallas and this zoo beats any zoo Ive previously been too. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They took covid protocols very seriously. Ill definitely be coming back someday.

Wow, one of the best zoos Ive visited. First time visit and it was awesome. The have a lot of animal interactions (you can feed giraffes, rhinos, elephants and budgies), you may be able to pet the wallabys. A lot of really amazing exhibits. Downsides are it is quite hilly, and the food choices arent that great. Oh and it has a fantastic view of Colorado Springs.

Beautiful zoo but does have a bit of an incline which is nice but something to consider if you have a hard time walking. Animals seem pretty active especially in the mornings.

BEST ZOO IN THE WORLD!! I have been to at least ten zoos all over the world, and this one is the best hands down. The lions could tell I was manly, it showed me it’s but.

So much fun.....so close to all the animals! I got pecked by a penguin.lol amazing place... Great views... Way up in the mountain!

Excellent! I wish your website was a little clearer. We thought we could be their all day, but had to leave at 3:00. The animals were wonderful.

We had the most amazing family day! This is the best zoo I have ever been to in the USA. Everyone was so nice and the animals were very healthy. Just a lovely place. Highly recommend.

Wow. This zoo is absolutely amazing. Everywhere I visit I like to check out what each zoo has to offer. This zoo is one of the best I have been to. It is quaint, clean, and has enthusiastic and kind staff. There are plenty of animals to see, though the zoo is smaller. There are options to feed the giraffe and birds for a small amount. The wallabys are free roaming in an exhibit allowing for you to get very close in contact with the animal. If youre looking for a great zoo to visit that is both adult and kid friendly, this zoo needs to be on your list.

One of the nicest zoos I have been to. Many of the animals were out and looked happy and well taken care of. Took us about five hours to see everything, minus a couple closed exhibits. Everyone had a great time.

Really fun zoo, especially if you like Giraffes. Animals seem happy and have good enclosures. My wife and I appreciate the conservation work that Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is a part of. Definitely recommended if youre in the area.

Beautiful scenery, you can tell the animals are well cared for, and the prices to feed some of the animals (birds, goats, etc) are affordable and fun for the kids! Make sure to feed the goats in the bucket that they pull up THEMSELVES! The whole family had a blast.

Love our zoo! The new hippo/penguin exhibit is really nice. Gotta ride the sky lift. Just keeps getting better and better!

I will rate this on the experience of the park. One note in general is that families were not all wearing their masks in the park, but with the mandate not being mandatory that is their choice.Our family loves wildlife. We have lived in Colorado for 3.5 years and this was our 1st time at the zoo. It is a true zoo that sits in the mountainside. You have an option to use a ski lift of sorts to go up and down the mountain, definitely dont recommend if you are afraid of heights.The food options were plentiful. Options of healthy and fun foods. Great experiences you can pay a low price for including feeding an elephant, which is my sons favorite animal and feeding my favorite, giraffes. They get up close and personal. We stayed for 3 hours and only experienced half the park. Definitely worth the trip.

This is a great zoo nestled in the mountain side in Cheyenne in the Springs. Nice selection of animals in their own habitat created for them. There are some new additions with the Rhino area and the baby giraffe born recently. Must visit if youre in the vicinity.

By far the best zoo Ive ever been to. If I could give it six stars I would. Great staff and volunteers. The enclosures are top notch and the feeding experiences were affordable and fun.

Barely animals out during boo at the zoo and in general they lack animals. In my opinion the zoo in Omaha and the point defiance zoo in Tacoma Washington are better and worth the price. RESPONSE TO ZOO: I have been to the zoo during the day...on nice and rainy days. This zoo isnt worth the price. Im sorry but its not. The Omaha and point defiance zoo offer so much more.

Oh my goodness. This zoo never disappoints, and has now become even better with the Waters Edge (hippo/ penguin) exhibit. We loved the new nature trail and how the lemurs were with the hippos. The kids loved seeing the penguins as well, although the wave noise freaked out the 2 year old. Everyone was extra careful with hygiene and was so welcoming.

Beautiful but you need to dress properly because a lot if not everything is outdoors. I wasn’t able to feed the giraffes because I was freezing but must come back. Adorei o teleférico

Its the best zoo weve ever been to.I love that its so open and the gondola is so awesome!Take comfortable shoes.

Really enjoyed our trip here. Its not a large zoo, but there is plenty to do. I walked this with two teenagers in a few hours. Especially liked taking the lift ride over the zoo. In the past I have also driven up the mountain to the shrine for a great view of Colorado Springs.

We spent the day here and it was delightful! Its so different from other zoos. The location is beautiful (although windy and cool) and there is a wide variety of animals in beautiful enclosures. Lots of opportunities to interact with the animals! My only thing was the golf cart shuttle. We purchased 2 passes (only $2 each, but gave the driver a $5) as we were told there was lots of uphill walking. Yes, there was, but we really didnt see the shuttle much, so we ended up walking the whole zoo, as we would either miss an area if we rode, or waste time waiting on the ride. I think we rode 1 time. So we really didnt use the pass much, but even at that, I feel like I was supporting the Zoo, which is a very good thing. We packed a light lunch and ate there in the park. It was a great day!

As always this zoo is amazing. It is a lot of hill walking but it is so worth it. Our 1 year old loved feeding all the animals and seeing the exhibits. The burger at the grille rivaled a good restaurant and the parmesan fries were the perfect complement. It is clear this zoo takes great care of their animals and provides them quality enrichment.

We really enjoyed this zoo. Built on the side of a mountain so a lot of hills to climb. But we are in good shape and it didnt bother us. Giraffes where a blast, you can feed them and they come really close to you to take a bite. Also saw quite a few animal experts just sitting outside in various places with a small animal next to them explaining everything about the animal and answering questions. Really nice nice!Just took off one star because some habitats looked small for the animal in them. Made us a little bit sad. Especially considering some of the other habitats for other animals seemed very large.But all in all a really nice place to visit. Beautiful animals. Beautiful views. Friendly people.

My favorite zoo in america. Literally built into the side of a mountain. Even has a gondola. You can feed the giraffes, pet sloths and just really have great animal interactions and encounters. Fun little factoid, This is the highest zoo in Merica and thats not just bc we have legal marijuana! ** Insert drum cymbal sound ** Although some of the animals did seem kinda stoned as can be seen in the pictures below

Fantastic place to get away and enjoy time with the family. They have annual family admission packages/rates available. Bring your own water. There are plenty of refilling stations. Also, be sure to wear sneakers or hiking shoes. The zoo is located on the side of a mountain. Feeding times for the animals are always great fun for the kids. People food was excellent, family cuisine and reasonably priced. FYI: Wheelchairs are available for about $15 per day. Enjoy!!

A must see. Loved the giraffes! Beautiful view of Colorado Springs. The sky lift to top of zoo offered spectacular views. The entry cost is steep at $24/pp. There is a shuttle available for $2. Feeding the giraffes was the highlight. You can drive to the Will Rogers Shrine to the Sun with paid zoo entry.

This is a great zoo! Many up close looks at the beautiful animals and such a fantastic site. This is one of the best zoo experiences our family had ever had.

This place was outstanding! For a fee you can feed the giraffes, elephants and goats. The zoo is built on a hillside so there is some uphill walking... but the do feature golf carts for people who have trouble. The view of Colorado Springs is amazing! I wouldnt miss this!

We visited this amazing zoo this weekend it was the best zoo experience we’ve ever had. All the employees were great, but especially Destiny & Josh were so kind and friendly and seriously made our day! The kiddos loved the nature play and all the exhibits but feeding the giraffes was the best! They had a ton of new baby animals and we got to see them all. Our special weekend here was made into a life long memory. TLDR; Baby animals, beautiful views and great staff make this an awesome place!

We had a wonderful visit! We loved the giraffes, elephants and lions, as I’m sure the other reviews mentioned. We especially appreciate the shuttle service. For $2 a person, you can hop on/hop off the shuttle all day. The zoo is built into a steep hill, with wonderful views - but for those who are not as able to climb the hill, it can be difficult to visit. As I was visiting with my parents, who are in their eighties, we all appreciated that the shuttle could ferry us up the hill. The shuttle driver, Kayla, was super friendly and very helpful! I’d definitely visit again!

Definitely one of the gems of Colorado Springs. This zoo is so well managed and laid out with a wide array of animals. They also have good food (albeit a little pricey). We have been members for three years and go to the zoo at least 15-20 times a year. We love it!!

I had a great time with my family. The skyride was awesome as well as the bbq. The staff were all great and more than willing to interact with information. Also you get to drive up to the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun. Cant wait to go back!! Getting a membership.

We have lived in too many states to count and this zoo is by far the best. Kids love feeding the giraffes and birds. It would be difficult to see the whole zoo in one day. Their bear and various cat enclosers are amazing and animals are of great health and happiness. Beautiful surrounding area it is nestled in and an enjoyable place to walk around with lots to see along the way. This zoo has almost any animal you would wish to see, to include sloths :-)

We had an amazing time today at this wonderful zoo! I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area! Its beautiful and the set up really lets you get up close and personal with the animals. All of the zoo staff is so super friendly and really take the time to chat with you and they are all full of a ton of information! We learned a lot chatting with them! It has spectacular views of Colorado Springs..... they are quite breathtaking. We will definitely be back!

Enclosures were too small, the fact you pay so much to enter should include transport plus the Sky Chair, specially when you go into a multi animal exhibit and nothing is there.The only upside is their star attraction, 15 giraffes. Which to me just seem out of place on the side of the mountain.Toys were reasonable to take home to our kids but this zoo is far from anything to write mom about.

One of the best Zoos Ive been to. The exhibits are very well designed, and I feel closer to the animals than most zoo experiences. Animals all seem happy, and the view over the surrounding city is amazing.

Went to the zoo today and everything about the zoo is great! The one thing that really disappointed me was the fact that a good amount of people were not wearing masks or social distancing. The staff was doing their best to ask people but what can you do if they don’t want to. If you want Covid this is probably a pretty good place to go looking for it. It bothers me so I know that I should just stay home but I wanted to warn others before they go so they can make the choice.

A new favorite zoo. This zoo doesnt have it all but does offer many unique experiences such as feeding giraffes and petting wallaby. Built into a hillside it gives you some good exercise as well. The zoo did a nice job of managing COVID. Their policies were not a nuisance at all.

Absolutely amazing. We were blown away by our experience. The animal interactions were once in a lifetime experiences.

We had a wonderful time. Unfortunately had to miss the giraffes, elephants, and rhinos because of the direction we were sent in upon first arriving but other than that it was enjoyable. The tiger is very active and the gorillas are charismatic. Overall very fun!

The zoo is great and an amazing experience. I highly recommend going. Be aware, we experienced a glitch in the ticket purchasing system and received a different date than we ordered. They dont care and wont help you if you havent noticed their glitch. You have until two weeks before your reservation time to notice it and request the change.

Cheyenne mountain zoo is the Best Zoo for People and Animals. The animals are so well taken care of, and the workers are all friendly and helpful with information about the animals. Our grand children love coming here a couple times a month. Our membership was one of the best investments we could of made. Making memories here are priceless.

The COOLEST ZOO IN AMERICA!!! Just walk walk and walk. You will walk through all outdoor areas where the awesome happy animals reside! Its got letruce to buy and feed the giraffes. Who are up close and amazing. This zoo has changed expanded improved so much over the blast few years. Its amazing. Its the Best!!

A must for any family in the area. This zoo is very interactive. From feeding the giraffes to walking among the penguins and marveling at the spectacular views of Colorado Springs, youll never be bored exploring here! My recommendation is to go in the morning while the temperature is lower, and if youre still there by lunch, enjoy their pizza or bbq. Enjoy this pic of the porcupine looking derpy--he may stink but is sure cute!

It is a great place to on a date, with tye kids, in a group, or even alone! The restaurant is good and adult beverages also available. Lots of animals to see, you also have a chance to feed some of them! In warm weather some of the statues squirt water. The sky lift is so much fun! I cant wait for this summer to go back and visit again!

Ive been going to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo for as long as I can remember, since my first memories here I can say with utmost confidence that every experience has been amazing, and only improved in the time elapsed ( over 20 years ). These wonderful people and animals have been awarded many accolades over the years for their superb work and care - deserving many more as the tradition of excellence and compassion continues. Thank you so much, I hope that anyone seeing this takes the time to experience the absolute joy that is the CMZ.

Fun clean environment...covid restrictions and masks..Mountain feel scenery..Very amazing experience all together!

I expected it to be bigger, but it was a nice Zoo. Staff was friendly and helpful and they did have some really nice exhibits. We especially liked the penguin and giraffe exhibits. Food prices are yikes! Be ready for that.

Took the 3 & 5 year old grandkids for the first time. They loved feeding the elephants & giraffes & brids. We needed reservations but it was worth the trek from Denver for the memorable experience.

Awesome views! Very well thought out logistically. The roaming wallabies and the giraffes were out favorite parts! Felt it was clean, and with the reservations it was nice because it wasnt very crowded. Only complaint is some of the enclosures were pretty small

One of the coolest zoos I been to and it was a nice hike and walk up and down the mountain not to bad but I love the animals and food!!’

DURING COVID MAKE RESERVATIONS, THEY WERE SOLD OUT! We were going to take a spontaneous trip, on Sunday, Labor Day Weekend, and thankfully my bf checked the website, and our 3:40 time slot sold out as he was purchasing, so we had to choose an earlier slot... hindsight 20/20, we lucked out because we would have missed half the park, half the experiences and memories ifwe had gone later! We arrived for our 1:40 time slot, and left at closing time: 5pm.Mist-fans, sanitation stations, water bottle fillers at each water fountain, and bathrooms conveniently located throughout the park. Highly recommend bringing a camelback from home for ice water, or atleast a water bottle to refill.This was the BEST Zoo experience weve ever had!Thats saying something... Ive been to San Diego Zoo, Philadelphia Zoo, Omaha Zoo, several drive thru zoos (ie: Bear Country in South Dakota, Six Flags Safaris, etc), and while many of those are much larger, this place takes the cake!Riding the Sky Lift, first, was a good idea, because later in the day we were so consumed with animal viewing, that we didnt make it back to the entrance area till we were leaving the park. The cost is $4 per person, at the gate, for unlimited rides.We got to pet an uncaged wallaby (with which there were about half a dozen roaming around) and the giraffes. Recommend bringing cash if you plan to feed animals like the giraffes, elephants, parrots, and whatever else might be feed-able by patrons. Also, giraffe petting / feeding enclosure had a max of 8 patrons, so expect a line and get there early enough. We almost missed out because there was 12 minutes before closing time, and they warn that theyll take as many as they can, but will NOT be able to get the whole line. So if its important to you, prioritize!The animals are in great health, not lethargic, and seem very happy! We were there around feeding time (which was around 4pm), so they were very active!We managed to catch video of the tiger prowl, and nearly pounce at a Zoo Keeper that was on the other side of the fence with her arms out-spread like she would have caught it in a hug, before the tiger started stroping against the fence, chuffing happily as he nuzzled the palms of her hands thru the fence.We got video of a Zoo Keeper patiently teaching the Barn Owl how to crate-train for vet visits, and allowing to learn only if he wants to.We have video of otters doing back flips where the waterfall in their enclosure splashes down.This is all just to point out how active and happy the animals seem to be in their beautiful enclosures (most having interior and exterior viewing areas, or atleast their own hideaways from the heat). Very well-maintained grounds and animals by caring, jovial staff. Very positive and memorable trip. Cant wait till we have a child, to experience it again, thru their eyes. :)

Such an amazing zoo! They do a great job in taking care of their animals and they always have keepers out teaching about them! I greatly enjoy watching the otters as they are always super playful, and the heating under the awnings there is also great for winter

Beautiful place and beautiful enclosures but NOT COVID safe! Employees wear masks but I’d say at Least half of the patrons did not wear masks. It also seemed crowded and people were not following social distancing guidance. It was actually shocking compared to the measures put in place at the Denver zoo..And shocking to see so many anti maskers. We felt so uncomfortable we left. They could easily make things safer for all, especially their employees by mask mandate and having guests following a one way route as much as possible. Putt signs up that say “high touch surface” would remind people not to touch everything. License plates in the lot are from all over, meaning any transmission at zoo will likely spread to a lot of other communities.

Animals are so well taken care off. Zoo is always so clean. Plenty of animals. Loved the new African Exhibit.

Such an amazing zoo! You can see almost every single animal up close and its in a breathtakingly beautiful location. Absolutely gorgeous. The animal enclosures are all spacious and the animals are well taken care of.Single favorite part: feeding the giraffes. I made friends with a huge giraffe today and it was amazing. Do not miss!

So much love surrounding the care of the animals and all the new babies . I loved loved loved watching my daughter play with the penguins! I wish we could come everyday!!!

I had a blast! Fun for the whole family!Feed Giraffes, learn about so many animals and their habitats, great views too!

Cheyenne Mtn Zoo is in a beautiful mountain location that our family has enjoyed for several years. New and improved exhibits like the recently opened Africa exhibit continue to make each visit unique. The authentic care of animals in habitat inspires our own kiddos to love and care for animal friends. Expect a bit of a workout as the hillside location offers hilly walks between exhibits. Low cost shuttles are frequently available for those who prefer or require a ride, instead.

Honestly, one of the best zoos weve ever been to! Lots to see, we especially enjoyed feeding animals and various encounters. Very well planned layout. Some food places are open throughout the park. Keep in mind that now timed entry tickets are required due to the covid situation.

Great zoo that you can explore in a day and not feel like you missed anything. The giraffe feeding at the entrance is a must, and all the exhibits are well kept and get you close to the animals.The skyline was fun and worth the ride for the view alone, but there wasnt a lot to do at the end other than a climbing area. I think a lot of it was closed due to the weather that day.We had lunch at Pizza with a View and though seating was limited due to covid, the food was better than your run of the mill frozen pizzas you would get at other tourist destinations.

Unique setting, but not worth the $25 cost of admission. The Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, NM is only $8. Some of the exibits are easy to miss since they dont give out maps. Awesome views of the city at points. The chairlift ride is nice, but you have to get off at the top, then get back in line to return. Also, the employee at the top was not wiping down the chairlifts like the employee at the bottom.

Cheyenne mountain zoo is a lovely small zoo tucked into the hills of Colorado Springs. Theres a surprising amount of interaction between visitors and the animals there (giraffes, wallabys, birds etc) and most of the exhibits are great. There are a few places that feel a bit run down but it seems like they are working to update as they can.There are paths crisscrossing the zoo with great views of the springs, and theres a good amount of dining options. Its not the biggest zoo but still a great experience.

Fabulous animals kept in clean livable enclosures. Some were small. Snow Leopard is breathtaking and endangered.

This zoo is amazing! And Ive been to a few! We loved the layout, although it is up a incline, it winds up enough that it doesnt feel as hard on your feet. And there are lots of little secrets and fun things to look at and interact with that is not an animal. The animals are actually very interactive and engaging and not just hiding up in the corner somewhere. I think it being on a mountain helps them feel more in nature than of they were placed in a cement man-made zoo. Lots of fun and would highly recommend to others! Make sure you bring water and sun screen!

Our favorite zoo. Much cleaner than the other zoo. Kids love going. Worth the membership.

Such an amazing and beautiful park!!! Lots of zoo animals and it’s a rather large park!! It’s a bit difficult to walk. It’s up and down the mountains and you really need to stay hydrated. Food and drinks are a bit expensive but it’s to be expected. the only thing i would say is i felt bad for some of the animals, they looked sad And some of the closures were really small. All in all though, i would definitely come back.

This Zoo is awesome! The staff seem happy to be there. The animals are happy for being in a Zoo very cool place.
