Bald Eagle Highlights

Everything Bald Eagle

Rocky Mountain Wild

As America’s only mountain zoo, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is uniquely suited to showcase Colorado wildlife in its natural setting. Voted #2 Best Zoo Exhibit in North America in USAToday’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards in 2022. Rocky Mountain Wild connects you with the wild heritage of the Rocky Mountain region by offering engaging encounters with mountain lions, Alaska moose, Canada lynx, Mexican wolves and bald eagles. Watch grizzly bears fishing for trout and river otters playing in a pond. Plus, our special learning experiences in The Loft, offers children of all ages unique ways to interact, assist with animal care, and experience cool keeper demos and talks.

Please note:

*Our grizzly bears are temporarily located next to the Asiatic Bear exhibit, near the play hill, above the tapir yard. We look forward to welcoming bears and guests back to the grizzly exhibit when it reopens soon. Read why at cmzoo.org/bears!
