One Exhibit. Endless Adventures.
Adventure has a new home in the African Rift Valley. There you'll see giraffes loping through a wide open savannah, a mob of meerkats lounging in the sun, colobus monkeys swinging in the trees—and even a talking baobab tree.
Immerse yourself in up-close animal encounters and interactive learning experiences in this $11 million, award-winning exhibit. It spotlights Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's renowned giraffe herd—the largest at any zoo—in an open space similar to the African thorn savannah. You'll also see zebra, griffin vultures, kori bustards, red river hogs and lesser kudu antelope.
