Equators Edge Wildlife Center

More Than a Zoo

The equator is an imaginary line – 25,000 miles long – that wraps around Earth, dividing it into two hemispheres. Below this line lies a world filled with extraordinary wildlife and diverse ecosystems.Step into our center and embark on a journey through the Southern Hemisphere, where you’ll meet:
  • Kangaroos and wallabies from Australia, full of curiosity and charm
  • Patagonian maras, one of the world’s largest rodents, and armadillos from South America
  • African tortoises, ancient and wise symbols of endurance
  • Vibrant birds and reptiles, each with its own story to tell
Every encounter offers a window into the beauty and balance of nature—and a reminder of our role in protecting it.

Visit us to meet and learn about animals from around the world!

Equator’s Edge Wildlife Center distinguishes itself as an educational and conservation center rather than a traditional zoo, non-profit, or sanctuary. Unlike sanctuaries, which are prohibited from breeding animals, we focus on kangaroo conservation of various species through breeding programs.

Currently, we specialize in over six different species of kangaroos and wallabies, representing one of the largest varieties of marsupials available in the United States, and the only location in Colorado to showcase such a diverse range. Our animals are meticulously selected to enhance the genetic diversity of each species, ensuring that we provide high-quality specimens to zoos and conservation centers nationwide. Visitors to our center can expect to gain valuable insights into educational and conservation initiatives pertaining to wildlife from around the globe.
