Cheyenne Mountain Zoo occupies a hillside above Colorado Springs, combining wildlife habitats with an unusually elevated setting. The sloping landscape is part of the experience, giving this visit a different feel from a flat urban zoo.
Prepare for changes in gradient and mountain weather, and check the zoo's current access guidance. Review entry arrangements and scheduled activities before visiting; individual animal encounters or other experiences may need separate planning.
