Stargazer Series…1 down 2 to go! Don’t Miss Out!

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo kicked-off the summer Stargazer Series last Friday, June 18 with over 200 guests. We partnered with the Colorado Springs Astronomical Society, Cool Science and Science Matters for a fun-filled night of planet watching, glow-in-the-dark slime, and laser lights. Our own Katrina Bensen even came by with a couple of fruit bats to talk about these amazing “creatures of the night” and show us how cool they really are!



Don’t miss the next Friday evening Stargazing Series' at the Mountaineer Sky Ride.

SAVE THE DATES: Friday, July 23 and Friday, August 6 from 8 – 10 p.m.
