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. Join the community wall of names and carve your memories into stone! For $250 you can personalize a 6-inch by 6-inch porcelain stone tile. In our initial phase, we will be installing a variety of four earth-toned tiles in the entry hall of the Hippo Building located inside Water’s Edge: Africa. Additional phases will follow where tiles will be installed 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.
