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.
