Kangaroo Ranch is a fully licensed Private Zoological Facility in Colorado dedicated to the exceptional care of Red Kangaroos. Through meaningful, hands-on educational experiences, we aim to inspire a lifelong appreciation for wildlife and encourage the next generation of zookeepers, wildlife biologists, conservationists, and wildlife advocates.
We are NOT a non-profit organization, rescue, or a sanctuary. While we deeply care about animal welfare, our focus is on creating, engaging, educational, and ethical animal experiences rather than operating as a rescue or rehabilitation facility. We take pride in our transparency and remain committed to responsible animal care and education.
At Kangaroo Ranch, the health, safety, and well-being of our animals come first in every decision we make. We not only meet applicable federal, state, and local animal welfare requirements—we strive to exceed them through exceptional standards of husbandry, veterinary care, nutrition, enrichment, housing, and daily management. Our practices are guided by the individual needs of each animal, ensuring their welfare remains our highest priority throughout every stage of their lives.
Every kangaroo that joins Kangaroo Ranch is deeply loved and cared for and has a permanent home with us for life. We only welcome new kangaroos when we are prepared to introduce permanent members to the Kangaroo Ranch family, with the space, resources, and lifelong commitment necessary to provide them with exceptional care throughout their entire lives.
Please reach us at jgoolsby@thekangarooranch.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
No, at this time, we are operating out of our Wheat Ridge studio space for our visits with the kangaroos. In the future, we may host events and interactions at the ranch!
Yes! We offer private interactions for birthdays, corporate events, and other special occasions. Contact us to discuss availability and pricing.
Kangaroo Interactions: Ages 5 and up only. No exceptions! Full ticket price applies regardless of age. (NO one under the age of 5 is permitted in our studio, per our licensing).
Kangaroo Yoga: Ages 10 and up only.
No, we operate small, intimate classes and interactions that typically sell out weeks in advance. We encourage you to book early or contact us about private events if no tickets are available for your preferred dates.
No, we only have space for ticketed guests at our events. Additionally, all minors under 18 must be accompanied by a ticketed parent or guardian that is at least 21 years old.
No, Kangaroo Ranch is not a rescue. We are an educational and interactive experience dedicated to sharing the joy of kangaroos in a responsible and ethical way. Our animals are well cared for and raised with expert veterinary oversight.
In most cases, no. Kangaroos require specialized care, significant space, and are not legal to own in many areas. If you're interested in kangaroo ownership, we strongly encourage you to research your state’s laws and understand the commitment involved. (Check state, local such as city or county, and then the different regulations needed to exhibit the animals as well. There are several entities that regulate these animals and it is not always clear when you look things up)
Outside food and drinks are not allowed at interactions to ensure the safety of our animals. You can bring a water bottle for the yoga classes.
Yes! We have a variety of fun, kangaroo-themed items available for purchase, including plush toys, apparel, and more.
Refunds are available up to 7 days before the event. After this date, tickets are non-refundable. However, you may transfer your ticket to another person if you are unable to attend. Please contact us in advance for any changes.
Our kangaroos are truly part of our family, and when they join us, they have a home for life. They participate in public experiences as long as they enjoy it — we even offer visits with our older kangaroos. If a kangaroo ever shows us they’d prefer a quieter life, they get to ‘Roo-tire’ out on the ranch, where they can relax and be cared for. No matter their age, our animals always have a safe, loving home with us.
We will get back to you as soon as possible!
