Get a real-life behind-the-scenes look at what Zoo Keepers do to keep the animals in their care happy and healthy with Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's Keeper Shadows program. Available to students 12+, both full-day and half-day shadows are available. See what it takes to care for endangered species like black-footed ferrets in our Conservation Highlands area or shadow a zoo keeper as they do their morning rounds in our Encounter Africa exhibit where they care for our elephants and rhinos.
Our Keeper Shadow program will help you meet, follow and learn from our dedicated zoo keepers who are responsible for the care and maintenance of the animals at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. Aspiring veterinarians and animal care professionals will get to see one exhibit for half a day or two, if you stay for a full day.
