Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
On Coloradoβs Cheyenne Mountain southwest of downtown Colorado Springs, you can find the phenomenal Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. The Encounter Africa exhibit has an area for viewing elephants indoors and an outdoor sky bridge where you can walk alongside these spectacular mammals! You can also watch seasonal elephant keeper demonstrations in the amphitheater and observe the elephants as they splash around in their pool and waterfall. The Wilgruen Elephant Center at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo provides optimal care for the zooβs aging elephants. The six beloved older female elephants are cared for in this state-of-the-art facility. It includes crane-and-hoist systems for disabled elephants, remote video surveillance, and rubberized concrete for achy joints. They may be getting up there in years, but these beautiful girls still have a lot of spring in their step β in fact, each of these girls loves to paint! Best times to visit the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo: Although the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is open all year round, early mornings and overcast days are usually the best time to see the animals, since they are just waking up and eating. Plus, there are fewer crowds! The Cheyenne Zoo is located on a mountain 6,714 feet above sea level, so if you are traveling from lower elevations, make sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen. May and June are some of the best months to visit since it is still sunny but not too hot. Weekends from the last week of May through September are considered βpeak days.β Peak days are more expensive and tend to have larger crowds.
