One of the best things about living in Colorado Springs is our year-round good weather for outdoor adventures like zoos, petting zoos and farms.

Recently, my family and I visited an area ranch that has a variety of rescue animals including goats, pigs and several dozen adorable bunnies. We got to spend a couple of hours petting, feeding and enjoying the animals. It was awesome!

Here are some area petting zoos where you and your family can enjoy the animals together:

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Colorado Springs

Wishing Star Farm, Calhan, CO

Ginger Snap Ranch, Hanover, CO
