So much fun. Very few people in the Winter so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Most animals are inside when it's cold so keep that in mind.
*Talk about tone deaf, we actually saw one woman wearing a real fur coat!
Really enjoyed our trip here. It's 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.
Aw man where to start?? Soon as you walk in you're feeding giraffes which is mad cool. Lots of animals. Love that the place is like on the side of a mountain instead in the city like all other zoos.
Great place to take the kids, but definitely overpriced for day tickets. Buy the pass!
Get there early and catch as many sideshows as possible... The staff run a variety of informative sessions throughout the park highlighting the characteristics of some otherwise unseen species.
Great Zoo! Kids love it! Hills offer a great workout!
They encourage social distancing and masks, I wish customers would follow the recommendations better.
Great zoo for all ages. Everything is up Hill so bring your walking shoes
Was alot of fun & great exhibits .. however the grizzly grill staff need to be fired! The male manager was awesome but the couple other staff were terrible!!!
Great for social distancing. Animals looked so very sad.
Great Zoo, unique steep Mountainside location. You lowland flatlanders may want to catch the cable car lift up and walk down.
Not handicap-friendly. Nice animals but in small pens. "Rhino pee" dumps a bucket of water over unsuspecting passersby, which I found annoying since it happened to me, drenching me and my walker and everything I had with me. Otherwise, zoo staff seemed passionate and knowledgeable. And seems they're trying to increase habitat space. But an unpleasant memory overall for me due to the physical strain and the rhino pee.
I didn't know that chipmunks weren't part of the exhibit so the 4 I snuck out in my pants I'll return them soon
Had a great time sharing my grandsons 2nd birthday!
Incredible zoo. Huge variety of animals and the food is good too. Don't think the burger place uses exhibit meat, but you never can tell.
A fun day out for the kids. Lots to do and relatively good value. The layout was nice - winding paths helped keep the zoo compact and interesting.
Some of the "experiences" were a bit of a money pit, but that's to be expected.
Don't forget to do the drive up to the "Will Rogers Monument" that's a free add-on to your ticket price. Well worth it for great views of the area.
This is the best zoo I have ever been to. I would highly recommend to anyone...
They beed to stop doing so much contrant so you can see all the animaos
One of the best zoos I have ever been to. There are numerous experiences you can reserve with animals and everything is well-maintained. You will also get a great workout in because there isn't much flat ground when walking to each exhibit.
Amazing zoo! I love the mountain setting, the quaintness of the park, enthusiasm of the staff and how hands-on it is here. You can feed giraffes, elephants and the rhino!
Great zoo that truly has education and conservation at the forefront of what they do
I have been to this zoo multiple times, and I am rarely impressed. There is usually at least one exhibit closed, and those that are open are decent, but not great. Feeding the giraffes is always a fun experience. The staff is consistently caurtious, and willing to answer questions. The biggest issue, however, is the price. In all honesty, I have been to larger zoos, for half the price. All in all, it's not a bad experience, it's just not great.
Awesome view of Colorado Springs, and pretty cool place to spend a day with family.
I would have given this 5 stars, but it's SO expensive!!
Alot of back and forth bring drinks nothing bad to report
This zoo is awesome. The giraffes are really cool, and walking around with wallabies and peacocks is so cool! While it is in the hills and you will get a good workout in just walking around, everything feels really close and quick to get around.
Probably the best zoo in the region, we loved it! Perfect family day.
Best zoo ever! This is the most unique and interactive zoo I've ever experienced. Also the most beautiful. Go to this zoo.
Love this zoo. It is a good hike to get around the zoo. Parking can be difficult on busy weekends.
Awesome zoo. Loved the experiences we had here. Definitely worth it.
Great zoo with awesome exhibits and mountain top views.
Great fun for the kids, love the lion exhibit. All of the exhibits are set up so you can get pretty close to the animals and see them from plenty of different angles. The zoo is definitely not a casual stroll -- plenty of stairs involved. The views of the city are gorgeous though.
Had a great time with the family. We all enjoyed the animals. Lots of walking uphill so wear comfy shoes.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is the best zoo in the world because it's in the mountain
It was great all the animals were taken care of and beautifull plus they had a wide variety of animals
My experience is always excellent! I love our zoo and the people who take care of it.
Had a lovely time feeding the giraffes, budgies, and goats! Thought it was cool that the wallabies are just wandering around the Australia area...definitely need to come back once the penguins' area opens! The space is well-spaced with lovely views. A bit of a hike to get around, so plan accordingly with kids/elderly/disabilities.
My grandson had a blast! He got to feed an elephant and a giraffe - highlight of his trip!
Our favorite zoo to visit, love feeding the giraffes
Excellent variety of well kept animals. Zoo aquatics area was under renovation, but still all the other animals were available to be seen. Penguins and Hipos were transferred to a different zoo for the time been. Nice experience for my 7y/o grandaughter.
Awesome Zoo. Huge with tons to see. Great workout with the incline.
Amazing zoo - you will definitely get a good workout in at this zoo - lots of hill climbs due to it being in the mountain. This is one of my favorite zoos to visit - they have plenty for the entire family - we love the hands on exhibits for the kids (petting zoo, discovery center, giraffe feeding, etc)
And it's a great price for everything you get - definitely check it out
Beautiful zoo! Lots of ways to interact with the animals, feedings, shows and knowledgeable care takers. Save around 4+ hours to see all the exhibits. Definitely worth the money and time
We love this zoo! We keep updated on all the baby animals being born and love to go visit!! There is a lot of uphill walking but it is very worth it. The carousel and petting zoo is very fun for kids.
Always a joy, although the drinks are overpriced. The docents are awesome and great with the kids!
Love the environment and how the animals are treated.
This is the BEST zoo I've been to!!! Highly recommend going to this one.
The best zoo I have ever been to! My family loves it.
I love this zoo so much more than the Denver zoo... definitely worth the drive. The size is a lot more manageable for small children and the exhibits are just interactive in a better way.
Great with family or if your bored. Just fun to see.
They keep things clean and well kept. They are always working to keep their facilities from getting too old or outdated. They truly care about the animals happiness and wellbeing. The youth programs they have are fantastic and helps teach children about stewardship and responsibility. The passes are reasonable and the skyride addon is totally worth it. I like the interactions that they offer patrons to choose the animals they want to vote for. I also like the amount of interactions there are for the kids to be able to pet various animals and feed them. They put on shows that are both informative and very entertaining.
We had a lot of fun seeing the lights tonight!! Great place to spend a birthday:)
Great friendly staff and the zoo itself is amazing. Fantastic views and well cared for animals. Feeding the giraffes was a brilliant experience and I will definitely be back.
What an awesome place and experience for adults and kids alike.
A lot of the exhibits were empty the way they organize the line because of covid-19 ridiculous you should stop taking people by 2 if you can't see the whole zoo by 5
Beautiful animals. Great place. Lovely food. Helpful caretakers.
Very happy with this Zoo. The setup is nice and very nature centric. My son enjoyed the giraffes a lot. Thy allow you to go up and feed them.
It's not bad I guess... It a smaller zoo but fun enough. Was able to give it 5 because some of it was under construction when I was there.
We love our zoo membership! #1 Must Visit place for Colorado Springs visitors!
How can you complain about the zoo? Always a great time here.
Super clean and today, great staff, animal exhibits are easily accessible and offer great views
Great zoo with lots to see, and amazing views of Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas. When we went there was construction for a hippo and penguin exhibit, but the noise was unnoticed until we went to see the primates. There is A LOT of uphill and downhill walking, so I would recommend bringing a stroller or carrier for the little ones who don't keep up as well, otherwise you'll be carrying them well before you finish
I love that zoo! Not only it's very pretty but they let us get close and pet a lot of animals!!! Moreover they are super engaged in helping and education!
What a beautiful zoo! The scenery is just amazing and we loved all the animals and different areas to explore. The staff was super friendly and made our experience that much more enjoyable.
This is the best zoo I've visited as of yet. The animals are well cared for and are very interactive. Lots of exhibits, lots of close-ups of the animals.
Pretty Cool zoo built on a hillside so as you wander up the mountain you get to continue to see more and more animals.
Always a great time at the zoo! New(er) Rhino & Penquin section is definitely worth a visit.
The animals looked very healthy and it was a fun place to visit.
So much fun! A great place to go always! The zoo is nice and clean and they are always working on trying to improve it. Great place to take out of town guests!
