Celebrate International Cheetah Day this weekend at the National Zoo!

Here at the National Zoo & Aquarium we are proud to support vital conservation programs working to protect cheetahs in their natural habitats. Every visit, encounter and membership helps us contribute to conservation efforts that are making a real difference on the ground for this fabulous feline.

To honour our seven cheetahs at the zoo, and their wild counterparts, we will be holding two special Cheetah Days at the zoo this weekend! On both Saturday and Sunday we will have a special Cheetah Keeper talk followed by an exciting Christmas themed enrichment. We will also be selling our limited edition Cheetah Collectable medallion, for just $10 you can extend your collection and bring home a memento of this special species!

You can find the cheetah day details below: 

👉 1:45 PM both days

👉 SATURDAY, Cheetah Girls (U6 on the map)

👉 SUNDAY, Solo (V8 on the map)

During the keeper talks, we will have the opportunity for donations to the Cheetah Conservation Fund so that we can all work together to help secure a bright future for this remarkable species. ✨
