Great Plains Zoo

The Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls is open year-round and is home to species from six continents, including giraffes, lions, snow monkeys, rhinos, and red pandas. The zoo is highly walkable and accessible, with wheelchairs, strollers, and scooters available to rent. Summer visitors can enjoy the splash pad, train rides, and weekend giraffe feeding. Enjoy the ROAR Café's chef-created menu of family favorites, served in sharable portions. South Dakota's largest public saltwater aquarium and only butterfly conservatory ecosystem can be found at our second campus at the Butterfly House & Aquarium. Visit our website or Facebook for up-to-date admission and event information.
