%20(1).png){kind=link}
Book your private golf cart tour! (Next date June 2.)
Note: Many animals have indoor/outdoor access, so they will not always be visible in their habitats. Check back - or wait a few minutes - and often, they'll come out!
- Zoo birds are off exhibit due to recent positive bird flu cases in Minnehaha County. We are working with the SD state vet to determine if/when they can safely come out this season.
Bubbletron
Enjoy bubbles in the Plaza from 9 am - noon, Monday-Saturday. Weather dependant.
