No, You Can't Take Them Home.
Adopt An Animal
With more than 1,200 animals, the cost to feed and care for our animals exceeds $1.4 million annually. By adopting an animal, you'll help it to receive the outstanding care Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is committed to providing. Each adoption gift directly supports the care of our animals, and with it comes a variety of special benefits only adoptive parents can enjoy. View the adoption level choices below and then select your animal to adopt from the Animal Adoption List.
