We came a long way so my husband could live his dream of petting a giraffe. It was well worth it. I was very surprised at how beautiful this zoo actually is. The giraffes were so fun and friendly but the entire zoo was amazing. This zoo has so many interactive places inside. We even got to see the wolves feeding. Just when you think it cant get better, you ride up the side of the mountain on a ski lift and see animals below. At the top is a look out point and the ride down is even better with views from the side of the mountain all the way down to the small town below. Super friendly staff and some yummy food are all just icing on the cake. You will love Cheyenne Mountain Zoo whether you are a family with little ones; or just a kid at heart.I recommend the gift shop as well, so many fun gifts.
