Take a walk on the wild side and explore the wonders of the zoo at the annual Zoofari at the Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls. For adults 21 and older, the one-night-only event combines fundraising efforts and entertainment—all taking place after hours.

“We want to help adults understand the zoo is for

everybody,” stated development director Kate Johansen . “Setting it up in this fashion offers such a unique experience.” Zoofari offers the opportunity to bring the community together to raise awareness for the zoo’s mission. With the Great Plains Zoo’s goal to physically merge with the Butterfly House & Aquarium , Johansen explains this attraction is a step in educating guests about their efforts. “Our goal is to bring the elements of land, sea, and sky to one campus,” she said. Zoofari is the perfect opportunity for adults to see a behind-the- scenes look at the wildlife park.
