United States · three behind-the-scenes zoo experiences
Three winners each bring four guests to a specialised Denver Zoo experience involving flamingos, Harley or the zoo’s lion cubs.
Denver Zoo’s 130th birthday promotion offers access rather than merchandise. Three different winners receive a guided animal-focused experience for themselves and four guests, with a no-donation mail route carrying the same odds as a donation entry.
The first listed prize is a behind-the-scenes experience with the flamingo flock. The second is a meet-and-greet with Harley, and the third is an exclusive talk with the animal care specialist connected to the lion cubs.
The zoo selects one winner for each prize from the same pool. The entrant does not apply for a particular animal experience, so anyone entering should be comfortable accepting whichever of the three is assigned.
The fundraising page may offer a convenient online route, but the rules are explicit that no donation is necessary and a donation does not increase the chance of winning. Donation and free entries go into the same selection pool.
The free method requires a handwritten request sent by mail and received by the closing date. Because the overall limit is one, using both methods can create a duplicate rather than an additional chance.
Each experience admits the winner and four guests, but the published prize does not include flights, accommodation, parking, meals or other travel arrangements. The group must reach Denver Zoo at its own expense.
Winners are offered three pre-selected dates or times. The experience must be completed by December 31, which means availability and the group’s travel calendar should be checked quickly after notification.
The random drawing is scheduled around September 2, and the zoo expects to email the selected people within one day. A winner who does not respond within 72 hours may be replaced by an alternate.
The supplied address should be monitored around the drawing date. The zoo may also need proof of age or eligibility before confirming the experience and guest arrangements.
