I've always loved the zoo. Cheyanne mountain zoo is beautiful. It's actually on the mountain, with alot of great views. They recently remodeled thier giraffe exhibit, so instead of chain link fence, there is a large bridge next to the exhibit to feed the giraffes and get an upclose look at them. There is a small petting zoo and play ground for the younger ones as well as a carousel. Lunch is over priced, but you can bring in your own food instead. At halloween time, there is "boo at the zoo" where volunteers dress up and do halloween stuff. At Christmas time they light up the whole zoo with Christmas lights. Every summer they do an temporary exhibit. this year is the white Tiger. Last year were the butterfly gardens.
