CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ZOO
On its website, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo sums up an experience there in just three words: “Enjoy. Interact. Understand.” A trip to the zoo — named the fourth-best zoo in North America by USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards — involves more than just looking at animals. Visitors get to feed giraffes, get up close and personal with goats and watch rhino snack times, along with learning about the animals and their history through various exhibits.
