A great historical location. Great place to see the valley down below. This has so much history. More than what I know. Beautiful location. Nice staircase up to the top. You can fit about 6 people at the top without being crowded out. And a lower location about 2 floors down. A total of 94 steps. 70 feet above the ground at a elevation of 7,710 feet.

You get access with your zoo tickets...good for 13 days past your visit. We went the same day we visited the zoo and are so happy we did. What a beautiful view.

A beautiful mountainside tower overlooking town. The driver was very informative and nice to chat with. If you're planning a trip to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, it's worth checking out!

Such a beautiful place with breathtaking views. The story that’s behind the building is just super sweet. Glad we were able to explore the whole building!

Beautiful historical site, it's very peaceful. It has a nice view when you go up, The grounds keeper gave us a short history of the shrine, we also went to the mini museum by the entrance/parking. It takes a short drive up from the zoo to get to the top. It's a bonus when visiting the zoo.

We enjoy hearing it at the Broadmoor and on the golf courses. At noon, there is a nice longer chimney song! I find myself noticing the time more just because of it!

Very interesting but beautiful shrine. Definitely worth visiting if you’re going to Cheyenne zoo. Plus you get to drive straight through the zoo on the way up to the shrine and get great views of the animals. By the parking, there is a small museum that gives the history of the shrine and the people it’s dedicated to. The shrine is painted on the inside and I believe is three stories tall with great overlooks at each floor. If you walk down the left staircase next to the entrance, there is a small room with a painting of Mary and Jesus. Overall great place

Awesome place to go after visiting the zoo. Short ride up the mountain. Beautiful views. It's free with your zoo receipt.
