Encounter Africa "Work-in-Progress" Preview 

When: March 15-April 30 2013
cmzoo.org/exhibitsAttractions/encounterAfrica

In January I got a peek at the new, $13.5 million Encounter Africa exhibit at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (4250 Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Road, cmzoo.org). I walked the fancy sky bridge, spied the black rhino, and watched elephants throw sand over themselves in the impressive new elephant barn. Fun stuff. And now you can check it out during the work-in-progress preview that runs through April 30, prior to more features like a 20-foot waterfall and elephant pool opening. We're still on winter hours, which means 9 to 5 (last admission at 4), and off-season admission prices ($7.25 to $14.25). — Matthew Schniper
