January 10, 2007 – Do you feel the stirrings of a wild animal inside when thinking of your Valentine? Then do something extraordinarily wild with your main squeeze for the Valentine’s weekend this year! Join other curious lovers on Wednesday, February 14 at the Zoo for a tour of animals “in love” - it’s a whole new perspective of “the birds and the bees”! Then it’s off toenjoy an elegant buffet dinner, complete with wine, beer or champagne, in the Zoo’s exclusive Safari Lodge (dubbed “the Love Lodge” for the evening). The romantic dinner is followed by “The Mating Game,” a delightfully tongue-in-cheek multi-media presentation from the Zoo’s animal keepers about animals’ mating habits and techniques when they’re in “luurve.” For more information about this wild night of passion at the Zoo call 575-0536. Guests must be 21 and over!

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is one of a handful of accredited zoos in the nation that operates without local tax support. As a self-supporting facility, it depends on admissions, membership dues, donations, grants and special events for funding.
