World Giraffe Day

Join us in celebrating giraffe around the world!

Discover the challenges giraffe face in the wild and help us raise support for Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s world-renowned giraffe care and breeding program. We are incredibly grateful for the Kratt Family Foundation and their dedication to giraffe care in the Zoo and in the wild. This year, the Kratt Family Foundation is matching up to $25,000 for every dollar donated until World Giraffe Day on June 21. While your donation will go toward the care of our giraffe here at the Zoo, the matched funds will help giraffe conservation in Uganda.

Help us celebrate, and donate, with these fun giraffe-themed activities, videos, giraffe encounter opportunities, limited-edition hoofprints, and more.

Thank You for Your Support!
