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
2 loops around $3
4 loops around $5 -or- 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, although parents are permitted to walk along beside their cowpoke. And we'll ask that every rider wear a helmet, just for safety sake.
