Who We Are
As one of Colorado’s most vital cultural cornerstones, Denver Zoo is dedicated to providing the communities we serve with an intimate, inspiring and informative first-hand encounter with the wonders of nature. But, while we proudly provide families with an accessible and inviting place to connect with wildlife—and one another—we’re so much more than that, too.
Our 80-acre campus is an enchanting urban field station, where 2,500+ wonderful animals serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts all over the world. Our award-winning education and outreach teams spark curiosity for learners of all ages throughout metropolitan Denver. In addition, our global Field Conservation and Emergency Wildlife Response teams have worked tirelessly for more than two decades to protect species threatened by human encroachment, habitat loss and catastrophic events.
As a non-profit organization, we rely on your support through memberships, visits and donations to instigate action on behalf of our endangered Earth, first by igniting AWE in our visitors. That’s why we’re more devoted than ever to our living our mission—Inspiring Communities to Save Wildlife for Future Generations—each and every day. The survival we ensure may be our own.

@DenverZoo in the Wild
Rocket and Slinky, our Asian small-clawed otters, just turned two years old! 🎉🎂 To celebrate, their care team treated them to some of their favorite enrichment: treat-filled kongs and an ice cake packed with fish! 🐟
Be sure to visit them in Village Hall to wish these playful cuties a fantastic birthday full of squeaks, splashes, and shenanigans!

In honor of #BatAppreciationDay, we`re happy to share that there are five furry new additions to DZCA! Earlier this week, we welcomed five male Indian flying foxes—marking the first time in over 25 years that this species has been at the Zoo, and over a decade since we`ve had any flying foxes in our care! 🤎
Our animal care specialists have named them Khirni, Bilimbi, Chikoo, Jamun, and Karonda, after fruits native to India. The team also shared that they’re settling in well, enjoy cantaloupe and love sun baking under their habitat’s UV lights.
While they’re still getting comfortable in their new space, you can see them now in El Pomar Village Hall inside Toyota Elephant Passage on your next visit! 🦇
