This zoo is one of the best in the country. What makes it unique is that it's a mountain zoo. There's a lot of walking! It's famous for the giraffes and it's fun to feed them. It's a very nice place to visit and the ticket also gives you access to the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun which is a is a commemorative tower and chapel on Cheyenne Mountain. You have to drive through the zoo to get up there (it's very worth it). The views are incredible.
