Program areas at Cheyenne Mountain Zoologial Society

Animal care and conservation - to house and display an animal collection for the cultural and recreational benefit of the general public and to provide survival assistance for species in peril. We share our enthusiasm for animals in the hopes that this will compel others to love, respect and protect the natural environment and its' inhabitants. We will cultivate deep appreciation of wildlife in our visitors by providing amazing opportunities to connect with our animals, and we will continually improve our animals' quality of life through training, enrichment, health care, exhibits and staff development.
Educational activities - to provide educational programs designed to foster an appreciation and respect for wildlife and wild places and to educate youth on the ecosystems of the world. Our education programs create connections to animals, nature, staff and zoos that empower action and environmental stewardship. We want our guests to be excited to share their experiences and feelings by offering an unselfconscious, comfortable and engaging environment. It is our goal to ignite passion in the very young and foster it for life; we consider every stage of life and offer age appropriate programs.
