“ There will be fun activities for adults, but Zoofari is another chance for them to learn about the great things happening here that they might not learn when visiting with their kids.”

“The tapas dishes will be continentally themed, matching our various exhibits,” shared Johansen. Other catering choices include themed drinks, beer, wine, and cocktails at a cash bar. “The Vespa team has worked very hard to create these menus for us, and we’re grateful,” expressed Johansen. Guests can enjoy Keeper Chats while visiting the exhibits, where animal care and education experts discuss facts about the exhibit's respected creatures. “They’ll go in-depth about the animals, the work that goes into caring for them, discussing if they’re endangered and what zoos do to help those endangered populations, and our conservation efforts,” said Johansen. The Red Wolf is the subject of the latest conservation work at the Great Plains Zoo. Red Wolves have been labeled critically endangered since 1967, but with the zoo’s efforts, the staff has worked to introduce the rarities back to North America. This past spring, the wildlife park introduced six Red Wolf pups to their exhibits.
