The largest giraffe herd in the United States. This zoo is built into Cheyenne Mountain, be prepared to hoof it (although there is a shuttle to help you get around). Try to arrive early, before the crowds. While you can see this Zoo anytime, the animals are very active during rainy, snow and overcast days. Just be prepared for the weather.
