Connecting People and Animals
At Equator’s Edge Wildlife Center, our mission is to connect people with animals and inspire a passion for protecting the natural world. We create unforgettable experiences that blend wildlife, conservation, research, and education, encouraging visitors of all ages to care for the planet we share.
Discover Life Below the Equator
Equator’s Edge Wildlife Center offers a one-of-a-kind Capybara Encounter that lets you interact with these gentle giants up close. You can feed, pet, and even snap photos with our Capybara ambassador during the encounter.
Our friendly animal experts will guide you through the experience, sharing fun facts and answering your questions while ensuring the animals feel safe and comfortable. The encounter is designed to be both educational and memorable, making it the perfect activity for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking for a unique adventure.
The cost is $30 per person on top of your tour price. Enjoy a 15-20 minute encounter with feed and treats included for the capybara.
More Than a Zoo
Equator’s Edge Wildlife Center isn’t a traditional zoo or sanctuary; it’s a conservation and education hub. While sanctuaries cannot breed animals, we proudly manage responsible breeding programs focused on kangaroo conservation.
We currently house over six species of kangaroos and wallabies, making us one of the largest marsupial collections in the United States and the only location in Colorado with such diversity. Our breeding efforts help maintain healthy genetic diversity and support zoos and conservation partners across the country.
Bookings are open by reservations only!
