Learn about us and who we are...

Equator's Edge is not your typical zoo. We are an educational and conservation center. All tours are small, guided groups. Giving you the opportunity to ask questions and get to know the animals on a personal basis.

Due to the nature of the animals we have, all of our barns are fully heated and designed with their comfort in mind, along with extra precautions taken for our wonderful weather here in Colorado.

Conservation through Interaction

The more people who know of our wildlife and interact with it, the more people will have a better understanding and connection with our wildlife and help to protect it.

We want to help and create a better world

We strive to provide a premiere educational experience at every level of zoological involvement from the public experience on our private tours to special programs that drive our mission. Our goals encompass the development of industry best practices as well as understanding optimal welfare requirements for our animal ambassadors. Equator's Edge educational initiatives and programs, preventative medicine, and enrichment program work alongside the latest research and information available and follow all local, state, and national standards. Our facility is fully licensed by the USDA, Pacfa and Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
