While we were camping in Colorado Springs we decided to spend the day at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

The kids were stoked to feed the Giraffes!

It was pretty great.

We had to reserve tickets ahead of time, they had limited admissions and wear masks while visiting. We felt safe and like we had lots of room to social distance.

I love this little zoo so much, it is nicely themed, and has great conservation messaging and funding.

The zoo is built into the side of the mountain which makes for very interesting exhibits.

So many great animal encounters.

I loved the new African shores exhibit.

We rode the Sky Ride to the top of the mountain.

The ride is an old ski lift so that was exciting for the kids. You get amazing views both up and down the mountain and into the exhibits from above.

We had a wonderful time and it’s definitely worth a visit if you are in the Denver/Colorado Springs area!
