A gift certificate for a Denver Zoo Up-Close Animal Encounter lets your special someone choose their unforgettable animal experience.
$75/person (maximum of 6 people)
Host-led tour as you are guided to your meet and greet with one of our resident rhinos and their zookeeper!
Adults and children ages 12 and up
Thursdays at 2:00 p.m.
Chewing with one’s mouth open: annoying at family dinners, but surprisingly adorable when a rhino does it! In this intimate experience for up to six members of your personal pod, you’ll meet one of our amazing greater one-horned rhinoceros crew—including Bandhu, Tensing or Joona! Our keepers will choose which of these amazing individuals you get to meet, and what your interaction might look like, but as you learn what it takes to care for these powerful pachyderms, you may get to watch a feeding and even give somebody a robust booty scratch.
Due to animal care needs, we cannot guarantee which individual you will meet ahead of time.
Encounter Size Limit
This exclusive encounter is limited to just six people per encounter. If you have fewer than six in your party, you may be joined by other registrants, not to exceed six persons total.
