This place is by far the best zoo i have ever been too! The exhibits are clean and well-kept and the animals are amazing!! My fav exhibit was the african lions and the giraffe exhibit
Watching the elephant take a bath was so amazing as well as being able to feed/pet the giraffe 's. They need to work on how people flow through the park . Also, quite the hike but worth it.
This zoo is in the most beautiful setting of any I've ever been in. And, there are so many opportunities for guests to interact with the animals, which was really special. I loved it!
My favorite zoo by far... Only mountain zoo ... Best giraffe exhibit ... New Africa exhibit in the works will be fantastic! Locals get a membership... So worth it! My family goes once a week!
Make sure you've got sunscreen and comfy shoes on! Feed the giraffes , and go see if you can spot some wolves -- they're awesome, but sometimes you have to be patient before they'll come out.
Who doesn't love the Zoo ! It's has some great places to have a picnic . Make sure you bring some comfy shoes . Lots of hills to walk up and down.
Amazing. One of the best zoos we’ve been to anywhere in the World.
Love this place. Small enough to enjoy without exhausting your kids. The new Africa area is outstanding and don't miss the keeper talks.
Offers unique hands on experiences, you get a lot of close up interactions with the animals: giraffe feedings, wallaby’s just wandering in the open, etc.
This is the nicest zoo I've been to, but then I'm not a connoisseur of zoos . Nice, clean , enthusiastic employees, really great!
Giraffes were amazing. Make sure to bring cash so you can feed them. (ATM at feeding area if you need it).
Incredible zoo ! Love the Skyride feature & the Giraffe feeding. Plenty of "behind the scenes" offerings too.
This is one amazing zoo ! The view is everything AND you can feed giraffes !!!!!
It was nice but it's sad to see how small each exhibit is. You get to be closer to the animals though. Feeding giraffes were awesome!
Get there early to enjoy everything... their build your own salad was great
Small but great. Make sure you attend all of the feedings.
Did you know? When construction began, the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun had yet to be named. Zoo founder Spencer Penrose dedicated the shrine to Rogers after his friend’s death in a 1935 plane crash. Read more
Best Zoo in Colorado! Makes Denver look ghetto! Everyone needs to see this one!
Favorite mount side zoo with lots of things to see. Children had a blast.
The giraffe exhibit is top notch. You can feed them for about $5 cash.
Be prepared for the weather to drop 20 degrees as soon as the sun goes behind the mountain . Also, buy the refill cups if you plan to come more than once. FREE REFILLS. Read more
Behind the building by the lions and zebras there is a covered patio - perfect place to eat your packed lunch .
Be sure to check out the Amur Leopard... Rarest big cat in the world!
We went a while ago and the giraffes were wonderful... we were sad that the wolves and elephants weren't out, but it's a great weekend activity.
The only mountain zoo in the U.S. Ride the tram around the park , check out the new Elephant Barn and hand-feed more than 30 giraffes .
Get up close and even touch many of the animals at this scenic zoo built into the side of a mountain !
Everything is Awesome. :-)
Good place to go when gassy. Nobody will know you farted.
The rail was nice, make sure you take the drive up to the shrine , pretty much see most of the Springs from up there. The animals were cool, the tigers were very active. Read more
Lots of uphill walking here. You’ll get your steps in easily
Feeding the Giraffes is awesome! Must do!!! The Grizzly Bear was alot of fun too- he put on quite a show!
This place is just beautiful!!! The animals were active too.
Love this little zoo in the mountains .
Great zoo ! Lots of walking...be prepared!
Go earlier in the morning when they open. It's the best time of day to feed the giraffes and birds!
Respect for the exhibited animals both in the zoo and in the wild.
Ride the Carousel. It plays Blondie's Heart of Glass, Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire. Can't beat that.
