The Great Plains Zoo welcomes you to our second annual Expedition ZooFalls: A Celebration of Local Zoo Pride! Enjoy an evening at the Zoo after public closure with animals on exhibit, Zookeeper chats throughout the evening, and animal encounters! It will be an unforgettable evening of live music from CoJo & Co., gourmet food, premium drinks, and a silent auction just roaring with GPZoo experiences! With Mitchell Olson as emcee, you're sure to have a great time! Proceeds from the 2021 Expedition ZooFalls will go toward renovating our Black Bear habitat, one of the oldest in the zoo. 

Ticket price: $100/person (includes food vendors and 2 drink tickets-- cash bar available for additional drinks)

  • Love this zoo! Great place to get a walk in and the animals are everywhere! The museum/indoor part is very educational too. Has a lot of shade for when it's hot out. Very clean. Friendly staff.

  • The museum gives you a break from the sun on hot summer days and has a great selection of animal exhibits from around the world.  The zoo keeps growing and adding new animal habitats or improving existing ones.  Membership offers reciprocal benefits to other zoos around the country.
