Up-Close Look:
Wookiee the Sloth

Your chance to hang with one of our most popular residents

Join us for an exclusive meet and greet with one of the most popular animals at Denver Zoo: Wookiee, the Linnaeus's two-toed sloth! With this special and intimate experience, you'll have the opportunity to "buy out" a sloth encounter for up to four members of your personal pod. You'll meet the knowledgeable animal care experts who keep Wookiee happy and healthy, and even watch them conduct a training session. While we're hard at work creating a new home for our sloths in Tropical Discovery, this is your only opportunity to see this appealing species at Denver Zoo—don't miss out!

*PLEASE NOTE: this experience includes exclusive interactions with animal care experts and the ability to see animals that live behind the scenes. Due to government-mandated safety regulations, guests will not have direct contact with the animals.
