To celebrate our Centennial and honor the incredible animals that helped shape Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s history over the past 100 years, you can symbolically adopt a species that once called CMZoo home – a Legacy Animal!
Don’t wait to get your paws on a Legacy Adoption Package! These limited-edition packages will only be available during 2026 and while supplies last. Because this is a special Centennial program, additional inventory will not be added once packages sell out.
• A cuddly plush
• A historic photo
• An adoption certificate
• A species fact sheet
• Recognition on The Legacy List (updated monthly to include the previous month’s adoptions)
Available Legacy Animal species are listed below. While we wish we could include every species that has been part of our Zoo’s history, only select species will be available through this special program.
*Online orders selected to be shipped will be mailed within 2-3 business days of processing.
** Visiting CMZoo? Select our pick-up option to save $11.95 and pick-up your package at your next visit!
Thank you for supporting Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and helping us honor the animals that played such an important role in our history. Your Legacy Adoption helps preserve their stories as we celebrate our Centennial and look ahead to the future.
