CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ZOO

Give someone you love the ultimate warm-fuzzy…adopt an animal at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo!  It’s a fun gesture that does a serious job.

The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is committed to providing exceptional care for our hundreds of animal residents.  Did you know that it costs over $650,000 each year to feed and care for our 600+ animals?  By adopting one of them you help provide for the outstanding care that these animals deserve.
Your adoption gift directly supports the care of the animals at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

Choose your favorite animal and pick an adoption level from the lists below.

All adoptions are valid for one year.
Sorry…no ownership rights are conferred by this “adoption.”
Please note we do not ship internationally at this time.
Please remember that, like all living creatures, zoo animals may become ill, pass away, or move to another zoo temporarily or permanently.  If the animal leaves for any reason your adoption can be transferred to another animal for the remainder of your adoption year.
