The Cheyenne Mountain Zoological Society provides the experience of an unforgettable adventure by combining mountain scenery with more than 650 animals from around the world. From giraffes and elephants to lions and monkeys, hippos and bears, many of the regular animals you would expect are here. It's also a rare opportunity to see more than 30 endangered species including the Amur tiger, Mexican wolf, and Black-footed ferret.
