@GraysonDP I've visited Cheyenne Mountain Zoo twice (2010 and 2014) and on my second visit the zoo was much better as the entire right-hand side (divided by a road!) had been converted to all African animals and thus that created a nice sense of immersion. Even though the zoo is literally on a mountain, there are elephants, rhinos and of course a 20+ herd of giraffes all in decent but unspectacular exhibits.
African Rift Valley, Encounter Africa, Asian Highlands and Wolf Woods are all excellent. Rocky Mountain Wild, the Australian section and Primate World are all hit-and-miss average. The Aquatics Building is terrible but it is getting a $10 million revamp and so that will leave only two awful sections: a couple of ancient, tiny bear pits and the 1942 Monkey Pavilion.
