We were staying in Colorado Springs for vacation last week and wanted to see this zoo with the big giraffe herd. My wife loved it because she got to feed them. You pay a small price and they give lettuce to feed the giraffes. It was a pretty cool experience. The zoo is in the mountains, so expect to walk uphill quite a bit. The layout is very nice and the zoo isn't huge, so it had a more personal feel to it. Riding the ski lift is a must if you visit. You get a nice view of the zoo and surrounding area. I'm terrified of heights, so I was a little nervous while riding up, but it was fun. There were a lot of cars there but it never felt crowded.
