“Featuring over 1,000 animals!”
As an accredited member of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) the Great Plains Zoo & Delbridge Museum of Natural History in Sioux Falls, SD strives to fulfill four major objectives: Education, Conservation, Recreation and Discovery. The Great Plains Zoo features over 1,000 animals from around the world. The 45-acre park offers up-close views of animals often not found in larger zoos, including giraffes, tigers, rhinos and a jumping, hooting array of primates. Watch the playful tiger cubs at the Asian Cat exhibit. Visit "Imara" and "Jubba" at the new “Rare Rhinos of Africa” exhibit. Feed a goat, ride a camel, or get a kiss from a sheep with six horns in the Hy-Vee Face-to-Face Farm. The Zoo also includes the Delbridge Museum of Natural History, a one-in-the-world collection of 150 mounted animals including 36 “vanishing species.”
Great afternoon stop!!! Loved it!
Kind of small, little boring
On the day I went almost all of the animals were out of sight. The enclosures are overgrown with weeds. But if taxidermy is your thing, their collection of the worlds animals is impressive. Taxidermy is not my thing and I was not impressed.
