I second the suggestion of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, which is 3/4 the way up on Cheyenne Mountain. It is a private zoo, and very, very well maintained. It is only about a mile away from the Broadmoor, and above it is the Will Rodgers shrine.
Ditto Cheyenne Mt. Zoo. It's a very unique and interactive zoo carved into the side of a mountain and even has it's own chairlift ride for getting from the bottom to the top of the mountain and vice versa with great aerial views of the surrounding forest and mountains.
