Water’s Edge: Africa – Tile Program

Carve Your Memories into Stone!

You’ve been asking and now it’s back in Water’s Edge: Africa. We’re excited to announce our second phase with blue tiles and three new animals for our tile program!For $250 you can personalize a 6-inch by 6-inch porcelain stone tile. We began by installing a variety of earth-toned tiles in the entry hall of the Hippo Building located inside Water’s Edge: Africa. Additional phases will follow, installing tiles throughout the Hippo Building. Funds raised through this program directly support animal care at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

Tiles make lasting gifts to:

  • honor loved ones,
  • celebrate yourself,
  • commemorate special moments,
  • recognize an organization important to you.
