Maggie OldhamAugust 9, 2013This 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
Gigi SingsMay 28, 2013Watching 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.
Denise JudySeptember 1, 2015This 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!
EllieApril 19, 2015Make 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.
Kathyurshka RoseMay 6, 2015Who 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.
Love this place. Small enough to enjoy without exhausting your kids. The new Africa area is outstanding and don't miss the keeper talks.
Garrett MotznerJune 16, 2019Offers 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.
Tom HesselmanSeptember 23, 2016This is the nicest zoo I've been to, but then I'm not a connoisseur of zoos. Nice, clean, enthusiastic employees, really great!
Suse BertscheOctober 18, 2012Giraffes were amazing. Make sure to bring cash so you can feed them. (ATM at feeding area if you need it).
Christopher JimenezNovember 12, 2014Incredible zoo! Love the Skyride feature & the Giraffe feeding. Plenty of "behind the scenes" offerings too.
Amy MetzJanuary 16, 2015It 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!
Jill PisarekJune 21, 2017This is one amazing zoo! The view is everything AND you can feed giraffes!!!!!
Charles HumphreysJuly 27, 2016Get there early to enjoy everything... their build your own salad was great
Hanibal ClaytonJuly 16, 2013Best Zoo in Colorado! Makes Denver look ghetto! Everyone needs to see this one!
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.
Michael RakowMarch 17, 2017Get up close and even touch many of the animals at this scenic zoo built into the side of a mountain!
ColoradoJanuary 23, 2012The 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.- Jenn WattonSeptember 13, 2012We 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.
Regina VestJune 11, 2012Feeding the Giraffes is awesome! Must do!!! The Grizzly Bear was alot of fun too- he put on quite a show!
Rony KarimJune 29, 2010The 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
- Victoria BarneyJune 11, 2012Go earlier in the morning when they open. It's the best time of day to feed the giraffes and birds!
Josh AJuly 28, 2012Ride the Carousel. It plays Blondie's Heart of Glass, Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire. Can't beat that.
Holt SpradlinFebruary 20, 2012Surprisingly great zoo!!! I've gone back multiple times during my time in the Springs.
LaDonna BerryJune 24, 2012Love being able to see the zoo with the family and exercise at the same time!
