Meet the reticulated giraffes face to face when you offer them crispy lettuce leaves to eat — one of their favorite foods. The giraffes use their 18-inch-long prehensile tongue to retrieve the lettuce from your hand.

We have several giraffes in our care, and because we are dedicated to giving them choices, you never know who will come forward for a feeding.

The current schedule is 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily, weather and conditions permitting. (Schedule is subject to change).

$5 per ticket for Zoo Members
$7 per ticket for non-members

Ticket includes two pieces of lettuce to feed the giraffes. Limited tickets available.

Purchase tickets at the kiosk near the south end of the Antelope House in Red Rocks. Cashless transactions only.

Tickets go on sale approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled feeding time. More details are available at the ticket kiosk.
