Zoo & Aquarium for All
Zoo & Aquarium for All Program
The Sioux Falls Zoo & Aquarium's (SFZA) Zoo & Aquarium for All program gives thousands of socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in our community the opportunity to experience all that our facilities have to offer by providing reduced-price admission.
We recognize the importance of individuals connecting with nature and animals. To increase access to the Butterfly House & Aquarium and Great Plains Zoo for those who could not otherwise afford to visit, SFZA will provide reduced-price admission.
Tickets
Sioux Falls Zoo & Aquarium is proud to offer the Zoo & Aquarium for All Program to help make the Zoo accessible for all families. All those who participate in programs including South Dakota’s SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, and WIC are eligible to receive a reduced regular admission rate. Zoo & Aquarium for All has expanded its coverage to residents of Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota.
An individual program card holder can purchase up to two (2) adult and six (6) children discounted general admission tickets per visit, valid for use during normal operating hours on a single calendar day. While there is a limit on the number of tickets they can purchase per single day visit, there is no limit to the number of visits the individual can make in a calendar year using this program.
Reduced price admission is not valid to special or separately ticketed events (e.g., ZooBoo, Zoofari, Summer Celebration), field trips, or group visits.
Online pricing ($2 more at gate):
- Adult: $5 + tax
- Youth: $5 + tax
- Senior: $5 + tax
To receive this reduced admission rate, buy online today or present your program card at the admissions window. Note: The purchaser will be required to present their program card and a valid government I.D. at admissions prior to using Zoo & Aquarium for All tickets.
