According to Newsweek, "We've ferreted out a list of world-class zoos in the U.S. that pride themselves on keeping the wild in wildlife...." Both the Denver Zoo and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo perfectly embody this principle. The Denver Zoo is described as an oasis in the city, with a diverse array of experiences from walking with flamingos to marveling at elephants during mealtime. Perhaps most captivating is the addition of a baby giraffe, a delightful new family member that is sure to charm visitors of all ages.
On the other hand, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo holds a unique distinction as the nation’s only mountain zoo. It offers a thrilling experience, allowing guests to soar over tigers and leopards on the Mountaineer Sky Ride. Such experiences not only thrill but also educate visitors on the significance of wildlife habitats and the zoo's role in conservation.
As both zoos strive for recognition, it's clear that their efforts extend beyond competition; they are essential players in fostering a deeper connection between the public and wildlife. With only a few days left to vote, supporters are encouraged to rally behind their favorite establishments, ensuring that awareness for conservation efforts continues to grow.
