All the years I lived in Coloraado and all the years that we've been visiting my family there, we've never been to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in CO Springs. We've heard that it was wonderful and decided to check it out this past August when we were there. We loved it! It was the nicest zoo we've been to, we all had a great time. The bears were fun to watch, because they were playing in the water and wrestling with each other in front of the window. The wild chipmunks eating out of the kids hands were fun, and the birds that came and sat on our shoulders were cool. We even got to pet a baby wallaby from TX, named Odessa. But, far and away, the giraffes were the highlight of the visit.
The kids had a great time feeding the giraffes and admiring them so closely. It was neat to pet them and admire their babies. The giraffe's were worth the whole day, but ended up just being the icing on the cake. It was a fun day at the zoo!
