The Wild Animal Sanctuary, located in Keenesburg, Colorado, United States, spans over 1,214 acres. The sanctuary is dedicated to the rescue and care of large predators that have been ill-treated, abandoned, or are at risk of euthanasia. It provides a safe haven for these animals, ensuring they receive the necessary care and attention they need.

"Mile Into the Wild" Walkway

In May 2012, The Wild Animal Sanctuary completed the construction of the "Mile Into the Wild" walkway. This 4,800-foot walkway allows visitors to view and photograph the animals in their large habitat areas from an elevated perspective. This unique feature provides an unparalleled opportunity to observe the animals in a natural setting.

Welcome Center and Extended Walkway

In the summer of 2016, The Wild Animal Sanctuary opened a new 48,000 square foot welcome center. Additionally, an extra half-mile of elevated walkway was added to the sanctuary. These additions have enhanced the visitor experience, providing more space and opportunities to observe the animals.
