This place is great!!! But the employee by the name of George is RUDE!!!! He made me feel uncomfortable and was harassing me and my fiancé! I called a few weeks back asking if I could take photos in this area I was told I could as long as I was not in any ones way of entering or leaving! I didn’t know what this location was and asked if you could get married up there of course the gentlemen explained what the location was and after that I knew you couldnt get married up their. I asked if i could take photos and again I was told yes just make sure not to block anyone!!! This passed weekend was a nightmare this man stood there questioning me about why I was taking photos asking how long it would take and if they would be in a magazine! He accused me of never calling and stated he was the only one who worked there and I NEVER CALLED!!! I have visited this area for many years and never once have I felt like I should just leave!!! There is no reason for this person to act this way the Shrine does not belong to you and I was not harming anyone!!! I also drove six hours just to be rushed for no reason!!!

GORGEOUS views at the top. We didnt know you have to pay the zoo entrance fee to get through so we had to drive back and drop our dog off at home and then drive back up. We decided to scope out the zoo and it was even more amazing! I got to feed a giraffe and pet them. Beautiful zoo and animals (I did a separate review on that). Go check it out, you wont be disappointed!

This place is so beautiful and serene! It is a Shrine built to Will Rogers by his friend Spencer Penrose. It is 100 feet tall and features pictures documenting the life of Will Rogers. Spencer Penrose and his wife are buried here along with two of their friends. The Shrine sits on Cheyenne Mountain, above the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. A definite must see!!

Drove up to find Cheyenne Mt. Road blocked by zoo gate. Have to buy zoo admission to go up road to shrine. Years ago you could just drive up and visit. Should make zoo admission required more prominent in general information about attraction.

I really enjoyed the views from the shrine. If you are going to the zoo and have the time afterwords, this is an interesting piece of Colorado Springs history. Make sure that you stop by the visitors center in the parking lot for the shrine.

Beautiful zoo. Lovely drive. But not if you only want to see the shrine. In traffic line for 1 hour to parking. Got to zoo. Told we had to pay FULL price for all just to see shrine. Did I mention a 1 hour line to get to zoo/ shrine gate?

If youre visiting the area dont visit the shrine until you are acclimated. Its 92 steps to the top and you do not want to miss that view. Its also a good idea to expect the chimes on the quarter hour. The are loud and surprising.

Amazing singing tower with an incredible view of Colorado Springs, worth the price of admission, and you get to go to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo! The road above the Shrine is closed for private use.

Make a point of getting up here if your in the area or visit the zoo. Fantastic views. You can go into the shrine and climb all the way to the deck at the top, it is incredible.

My dad drove us up the mountain back in 1964 on a dirt road all of the way up with no guard Rails! Never knew I was scared of heights Before! Fantastic.....

Free admission with paid receipt from zoo. We got rained out on day we went so they let us come back the next day for free.

A nice "freebie" add-on to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Fantastic views of Colorado Springs and the front range from the top.

Pretty neat spot. When you go to the zoo, you then use the ticket to drive through the zoo, to get to the shrine.
