Description:
No visit to the Pikes Peak region is complete without a trip to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo - America's only mountain zoo! Experience unforgettable adventures combining breathtaking mountain scenery with more than 700 animals from around the world, including the opportunity to hand-feed our magnificent giraffe herd (the largest of any zoo in the world!)

All of your favorites are here at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo: from giraffes and lions to monkeys, penguins, hippos and bears. It's also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see more than 30 endangered species like the Amur tiger and lowland gorilla.

Come nose-to-nose with great apes, ride the 1920's historic carousel, enjoy the children's petting zoo and play area, and see the most spectacular views of Colorado Springs all in one place: The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo!

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo returned to "winter" hours of operation effective September 2, 2008. The Zoo is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last admission of the day at 4 p.m. My Big Backyard, with its animal contact area, tree house and oversized flowers, remains open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (The animal contact yard is open as weather permits.) Pony rides are offered daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weather permitting. Budgie Buddies are now open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the full exhibit immersion and feeding experience for guests available until the end of October. In November, guests access to budgies in the exhibit will be restricted by a barrier, though feeding of the budgies will continue. The Zoomobile and tram operate on weekends only, again as weather permits.
