Locally Grown. World Famous.

Don't miss seeing Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's renowned giraffe herd in their home, the African Rift Valley exhibit. The largest giraffe herd at any zoo, the herd "stampedes" outdoors most mornings, spending the day grazing and relaxing in their savannah home. 

Check out a live view of the herd with our GiraffeCam and learn all about these magnificent animals. And then come for a visit—nothing else compares!

Giraffe Feeding

Enjoy hand-feeding special giraffe crackers to the African Rift Valley giraffes! Giraffe crackers are available at the admission gate and in front of the giraffe exhibit.

Cost: Three crackers for $1

Translation, please?
Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata
The scientific name for our giraffes means "camel-leopard-like one who walks swiftly."
