Upcoming Events

Zoo Members - Our Zoo may look a little different this summer, but we appreciate you more than ever! Visit your favorite animals during our first after-hours members-only event of the summer. Food options are limited, but the Grizzly Grill will be open (cash/credit cards accepted). Please note, we will have no scheduled animal demonstrations for this event. Due to state-mandated capacity limits, we may not be able to accommodate all members who want to attend. But don't worry! We will have more Member Appreciation Nights throughout the summer, as we are approved for additional dates and ticketing. Advance reservations are required to attend. *Please note: Event nights may change due to unforeseen circumstances. This event is sold out.

Take a Walk on the Abnormally Normal Wild Side! We invite you to join us for our VIRTUAL black tie gala to benefit the Zoo. Enjoy this opportunity to celebrate and support a valuable conservation and education organization, both locally and globally. There are lots of ways to particupate this year; from an online auction July 20-26, to a virtual ride up-close-and-personal with some favorites July 23. Your presence is requested!

A Zoo members only evening*. Watch as select animals receive enrichment items at scheduled times throughout the evening. What’s ‘enrichment’? Enrichment is how we provide a stimulating environment for Zoo animals. Why? It gives them an opportunity to demonstrate species-typical behavior, exercise control and/or choice over their environment, and enhances their well-being! Advance reservations are required. *Please note: Event nights may change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Children ages 3 to 11 who bring their plush friend save $10 on admission. (Kids 2 and under are just 75¢, and Zoo members are always free.) Kids can stop by the Teddy Bear Clinic at the Lodge at Moose Lake for a free stuffed animal “check-up” and meet medical personnel in a “beary” fun environment. Check out the special animal shows and happenings and come have a BEARiffic day at the Zoo!

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo invites all ages of world class runners and families alike to Run to the Shrine on Sunday, August 30. Run to the Shrine is a 4-mile run/walk course that curves through the Zoo, up to the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun and back down into the Zoo. The run provides some of the most stunning views in the Pikes Peak region. The 4-mile race concludes with a party at Lodge at Moose Lake!

Enjoy a day at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo along with the crew from Mike's Camera and all your favorite photo gear companies to test-drive the latest cameras, lenses and photography accessories.

A Zoo members only evening*. Summer always ends too soon, so why not enjoy one last night at the Zoo before the kids go back to school? Beat the heat and enjoy the animals after-hours. The entire Zoo will be open, with scheduled animal demos and keeper talks. Advance reservations are required. *Please note: Event nights may change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Ages 21+. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo invites you to dance and dine the night away while enjoying drinks and international delights from Taste, our in-house caterer.

It’ll be all treats and no tricks for your little pirates and princesses at this year’s Boo at the Zoo, the region’s most unique Halloween event.
