Lion's Den Cafe

Want a better place to eat?

The Wild Animal Sanctuary has opened two great food establishments for the benefit of its visiting guests - as well as for the people living in the area of Hudson & Keenesburg.

The "Lion's Den Cafe" and The Sanctuary's "Ice Cream Shop" are open 7 days a week from 10:00 AM to SUNSET (which changes almost daily). Our winter hours for each venue are different so please give us call for visiting - or for stopping by to pick up your order to go at 303.536.0118 ext: 143

The Lion's Den Cafe has lots of hot ready-made items to eat - such as pasta dishes, soups, and pizza - as well as a fully-stocked salad bar. We also offer a broad range of Grill Items such as Hamburgers, Steak Sandwiches, Reuben Sandwiches, French Fries, Onion Rings, Nachos and a whole host of other items that you can order hot and fresh off our grill!

People who are not coming to visit the animals, and just want a great place to eat - or to order food to-go - love the Sanctuary's Lion's Den Cafe and Ice Cream Shop!

The Lion's Den Cafe is designed so that people choose their food and then go outside the Cafe to eat in the Welcome Center's Central Picnic Area or on any of the upper decks. Families, friends, and coworkers have plenty of options to sit together to enjoy their meal, or they can choose to order food to go.

The Welcome Center also offers a VIP Deck for parties and private get together, so if you are interested in having a special event at the Sanctuary
