The Wild Animal Sanctuary

Walking the elevated walkway at the Wild Animal Sanctuary transforms a visit into a dynamic "visual safari" where the vast, rolling prairie ensures animals are integrated into the landscape rather than merely on display. To find them, you must scan the horizon with a photographer's eye, catching the subtle flick of an ear or a sudden shift in the golden brush as massive grizzlies and lions emerge from hidden dips in the terrain. This expansive scale creates a shifting canvas where a seemingly empty field can reveal a new, authentic glimpse of wildlife at any moment.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing lifelong homes for large carnivores that have been abused, abandoned, or illegally kept.
