One of the Best Zoos in America is Right Here in Our Backyard

There’s something special about visiting the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo this time of year. As the days get warmer and everything starts to bloom, the zoo really comes to life—both the animals and the views. Whether it’s feeding the giraffes, wandering through the Rocky Mountain Wild exhibit, or just enjoying the fresh mountain air, it’s a place that makes you slow down and soak in the moment. If you haven’t been in a while, now’s a great time to go back and reconnect with one of the most unique gems in our city.
The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo has long been recognized as one of the top zoos in the country, and this year is no different. In March 2025, it ranked the #2 Best Zoo in North America by USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, and its Rocky Mountain Wild exhibit also landed at #2 in the nation as best Zoo Exhibit. For nearly a century, it’s been more than just a zoo—it’s where families make memories, kids fall in love with animals, and locals escape the everyday for something a little more wild. With spring in full swing, it’s the perfect excuse to take the scenic drive up the mountain and spend a few hours enjoying a place that’s right in our backyard but always feels like a little adventure.

How is the Real Estate Market

The luxury real estate market in Colorado Springs has experienced a bit of a slowdown in recent months, as higher interest rates and economic uncertainty have led some buyers to take a more cautious approach. While demand for high-end properties remains strong, transactions have been moving at a more measured pace, with some sellers needing to adjust their expectations to attract serious buyers. However, as we transition into the peak spring real estate season, there is growing optimism that the market will begin to pick up. Warmer weather and an influx of new listings typically bring renewed energy, and many buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines may start actively looking again, hoping to secure a home before the summer months. Additionally, well-priced, turnkey properties in desirable locations are expected to generate the most interest as luxury buyers continue to prioritize move-in-ready homes with top-tier amenities. For sellers, this means that strategic pricing and strong marketing will be key to standing out in a competitive landscape. While the market may not be as fast-paced as in previous years, the coming weeks could bring a much-needed boost in activity, setting the tone for a stronger season ahead in Colorado Springs’ luxury market.
