I love this zoo so much !!! You get to feed the Giraffes , go on the Sky Ride, pet/feed some farm animals, and feed an Elephant!? I haven t had the chance to feed an Elephant yet, but as soon as I get the chance I will!!!!
Great zoo good exhibits, animals well taken care of.
Great zoo for families and adults too! Very interactive staff make it a learning experience.
Its a great place to see the wild animals and great exercise alot of up hill walking.
I absolutely love this zoo. I love how interactive the zoo is, I love how friendly the people are, everything about this zoo is just great! Even during this coronavirus and everything else going the zoo is still an absolutely amazing place!
Love our local zoo! They have done a lot to update it and it's wonderful to see so many animals. The best time to go is during the week or when the weather is cooler (the animals are more active then). It does have hills so make sure you wear good walking shoes and prepare to get some steps in. They do have a couple of vehicles that can transport those that cannot/prefer not to walk.
You can definitely spend a couple of hours here and they have some great new options for food. We have a zoo membership which is a must if you plan to visit the zoo more than once/year.
Beautiful zoo on the mountain side. Steep climbing but you can pay for a lift if you want one.
Beautiful zoo with breathtaking views, I visit several times a year
Social distancing and capacity limits makes it easier to control the kids! The year pass is worth it!!
The zoo has many different animals to see and interact with.
I super love it sadly I was there for not too long but I was there for not too long,but is the most amaizing zoo.what they should have is free transportation for disable people like me ,it was alot to walk for people in my health condition.I little help walking would of help me enjoy the rest of the beauty of the Zoo .I love it ! Even with my request due that I travel to visit my hero Soldier
Best zoo, great time no matter the age. Great exhibits, they are all very well integrated and interactive. I enjoyed the giraffes!
The hill is just nuts but everything else about this place rocks! Feeding the giraffes, feeding the birds, petting the goats - there is just so much to do! The walk about is great too and my 3 year old had so much fun interacting with all the animals. Make sure you have cash though, you need it to feed the animals and to go on the carousel.
A great zoo experience! Construction going on so no penguins or hippos, but it was still great! Also, I was lucky, a new baby giraffe was just born last night and I got to see it!
My family and I had a blast!!! The giraffe exhibit is so cool
Great place to visit. Hard walking on the side of the mountain. You can buy lettuce to hand feed the giraffes. Admission provides access to Will Rogers Shrine to the Sun which gives great view Eastward of Colorado Springs and high prairie.
Love this zoo been going to the zoo sense i was little
I love this zoo. We had a blast at the Boo at the zoo event.
Nice zoo, animals looked good, a lot of hills to walk!
One of the best zoos I have ever visited. It is a bit off the beaten path, but also a pretty cool drive as you pass through the Broadmoor. The zoo has a gondola, a carousel and you can feed giraffes. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes!
As always, great for kids, tidy grounds, and the employees here actually care about the animals
BY FAR the BEST zoo in Colorado! It is a bit of a drive from denver but WELL worth it! Parking is free and always available. You can always feed the giraffes ($2 for one feeding - bring cash!!) and at different times throughout the day you can feed other animals too! Also, if walking is difficult for you they have golf carts to help! A wonderful, family friendly zoo!
Best zoo experience ever, go the doy of or after snow, it is empty!
This zoo costs a bit extra because they dont use federal funds, but it is worth the price and the drive. The best zoo in the state, not even close.
It's honestly the best zoo I've ever been to. And I've been to the Denver and San Diego zoos and several others
Nice little zoo. Kind of small but nice and clean. Friendly staff
This zoo is by far one of the best zoos I have ever been to. I can honestly say I love it, my wife loves it, and my kids love it. We always look forward to going and having a great time. And we love feeding the giraffes!
Animals are well taken care of much better than denver zoo
Had such a fun day here ! Got to pet a wallaby!!! So cool and staff is friendly
Best zoo I've visited! Animals are very close and you can feed a number of them, including giraffes and elephants! Others you can touch or be and arm length away.
As you'll note by the time of this posting, we visited during the COVID pandemic. It was too crowded and I felt uncomfortable. That said, the zoo requires masks, has staff cleaning hand rails and surfaces constantly, and encourages social distancing. The other visitors were not always wearing masks, did not adhere to social distancing/limited occupation restrictions and you have to go through buildings to get from one location to another. The zoo is so fantastic, but think twice about the unexpected exposure due to other zoo visitors and the large number they are letting in now.
Great views, large number of animals, lot of natural enclosures. The flow of zoo makes you back track on things. One visit is almost half of annual pass, so if going to visit more than once probably best to just get the annual family pack.
They take great advantage of the terrain. My family lovd the overlook observation platforms.
Great zoo, from the physical layout to the wonderful customer service.
Best zoo in the state. Awesome views from the mountainside while you're walking the zoo.
The best zoo I have ever been to, really made my day.
Very underrated zoo, always amazing and never short of it.
I love this zoo, it's wonderfully laid out and the animals are really well cared for. They really focus on conservation which I appreciate!
Great zoo!! Had a blast... Especially when there was a 4 week old giraffe! But the food at the Bear place was good. Pricey, but good. The skyride was cool... the view was beautiful. Not much to do at the top, but again, the view was amazing.
It did feel like no matter which direction you are heading, it's up hill! Ha! Great zoo. Lotta animals out and about
Feeding the giraffes is really cool. We went soon after the large hail storm this summer, and were still impressed even after they were trying to recover from the storm.
It's a lot better now than what I remembered as a child. Personal side note though drink plenty of water and eat before going. Could end up with altitude sickness!
Absolutely love this zoo all the keepers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the animals they tend to. Great time for family outing or first date really any occasion!!!!
This is the best zoo in the country. If you have a hard time walking you will want to go at a time when the shuttle is running as it is a hike, but it is worth walking. The animals are extraordinarily well taken care of. If you have never been, it is definitely a must-see.
Beautiful zoo, but be prepared to walk up hill ALOT or you can pay for a tram ride to the top of the hill and walk your way back down. That's what we ended up doing and I would recommend!
Super crowded/oversold. Impossible to social distance. Could be set up much better.
Beautiful zoo, very well kept and the animals seemed very well taken care of.
Such a clean zoo. Animals are #1 here. Go as often as you can.
We loved this place. The zoo has a variety of monkeys. They treat their animals with love and care.
This place is great EXCEPT for the food places. As much as it cost to get INTO the Zoo there is no reason to gouge the public on food cost. That is just stupid!
Fantastic experience. Far above average for a zoo. Highly recommended. A bit of uphill walking due to its positioning along the mountainside.
Not for the physically challenged. Lots of hills but very nice zoo.
Had the most amazing time. A little sad some exhibit were not open. I would do it all again in an instant
Great place so natutal and fun ! And a great workout! Lol
We loved our visit to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! The zoo is interactive and fun for all ages. We will be back.
Our favorite thing about Colorado Springs is Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We bought a family membership and haven't had a single regret. We even had our kids birthday here.
We are members we love the zoo we go as often as possible
Love this Zoo. My daughter always take me here for fathers day. Great memories.
There was a lot of construction going on in some areas. But still worthy of a visit. Feeding the giraffes was a lot of fun. The gorillas area was a little smelly but also worth the stop to see them.
Beautiful. Love the setting and the interaction. One of the nicest zoo's I have been to. Can't beat the view from up there either!
Animals were awesome, lot of walking uphill. Definitely do the sky ride that was a lot of fun!
It's an amazing set up that gets you close to the animals. My kids and grandkids loved it.
We love this zoo! What an amazing place. Up in the hills and the habitats are all natural as you can get for the animals. One thing we did NOT care for, was being charged $20 for coins for the conservation boxes to help save endangered animals. The people at the offices need to inform they are charging for these "coins", cuz it was a sticker shock what it cost to get in For 2 adults a 1 child.
Took the family for the first time in a long time. It was a great morning with our little boys.
Coming from San Diego, I still find this zoo to be an excellent experience. Plus, the locale can't be beat; gorgeous views!
3rd visit and will go back again. Great visit and very friendly staff.
AMAZING!!!!! I HAD SO MUCH FUN. You have to feed the & 's it's a blast. And they have small food court. Peacocks roaming around plus there's a part of the park where the kangaroos road free. Its a must see.
So much fun and a lot of up closeness with animals! Must feed the giraffes and chickens and check out the grizzly bear show!
Alot of fun during the summer but pricey. Winter is definitely better priced but not as much going on.
My parents are very hard to please on trips and they raved at the excellent layout of this zoo. Started the day feeding giraffes and felt like we got a full experience going up and down the mountain path. Will only be enhanced when we finally have children to bring to all the great play areas! For now, we learned a lot and enjoyed a phone free day together!
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is the BEST! A little pricy but worth it. Bring your own lunch as the food is not great.
SO FREAKING AWESOME! A really fun place but be ready to walk!
It's a zoo... They have animals. Feeding the giraffes is fun. Elephant enclosure is awesome but hold your nose. Very hilly so bring your legs
They claim to be limiting entrance into the zoo, but there were at least 40 people entering every 20 minutes. The zoo was packed. Masks were not required, and almost no one was wearing one, besides employees. I felt very uncomfortable at the lack of social distancing and mask use. I hope we didn't contract COVID.
