The Great Plains Zoo offers visitors an up-close look at hundreds amazing animals, from Squirrel Monkeys to Zebras, Bears to Boas, and includes an exciting animal collection often not found in larger zoos: Tigers, Snow Leopards, Giraffe, Rhinoceros, Flamingos and a variety of Primates. We have several opportunities for groups – from guided tours to animal encounters!

Group Visits are for groups of 20 or more guests (not including those under the age of two). Click here for a request form. Once you complete and submit the request form, we will contact you to confirm your reservation. Your Group Visit is not guaranteed until you receive a confirmation email.

*In order to streamline your check-in process and to provide good customer service for all our visitors, we are no longer able to accept Zoo memberships for group visits.

  • 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.
