This Colorado Zoo Was Named Among The Best In The Nation And You’ll Want To Visit
If you are an animal lover, you live in the perfect place! Not only does Colorado have magnificent wildlife roaming free amongst the mountains and plains, but we also have several beautiful reserves, sanctuaries, and zoos for these furry friends. Speaking of zoos, did you know that one of Colorado’s zoos was just named one of the BEST in the nation? Can you guess which one?
(If you guessed Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, you would be correct!)
Located just above Colorado Springs, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is the nation's ONLY mountain zoo, which sits at an elevation of 6,714-feet above sea level.
Coming in at #6 on USA Today’s 10 Best Zoos competition, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is a multi-award winning zoo that allows guests the opportunity to see (and feed) exotic animals via their African Rift Valley...
In addition to "just" the animals, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo also houses a number of other various attractions like carousel rides, the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun, Mountaineer Sky Ride...
The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is located at 4250 Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Rd in Colorado Springs and is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm. For more information on the zoo, upcoming events, and cost of admission, please visit the Zoo's website.
