Pony Rides

Giddyup to the Zoo.

Hey cowpokes! Hop up in the saddle and take Old Paint for a ride at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We have a mess of trusty steeds in all sizes and colors for the young'uns. Each pony and rider is individually led by a wrangler around a circular trail, nestled in Rocky Mountain Wild, just south of The Lodge at Moose Lake. It's an old west adventure they'll never forget.

Cost

Buy a frequent rider card for $20—and get 5 rides instead of 4!

Note: Riders must be old enough to sit up in the saddle and hold the reins unassisted, although parents are permitted to walk along beside their cowpoke. And we'll ask that every rider wear a helmet, just for safety sake.
