From Anteaters to Zebras, the Great Plains Zoo cares for hundreds of animals each day! Visitors can view almost all of the Zoo’s animals year-round, including Snow Monkeys in a national award-winning Snow Monkey exhibit. View animals from around the world, including endangered animals that are participating in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums's Species Survival Program. 

  • 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.
