Join The Sioux Falls Zoo & Aquarium for A Beary Fun Birthday Bash

The Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls is sending out a party invitation! They are having a "beary" special birthday party for all of the zoo's bears, and you can be part of it. Monday, January 19, starting at 11 AM, you'll have the chance to visit all three of the zoo's bear habitats while listening to a zookeeper chat about them.

The bears will receive birthday enrichment gifts while you're hearing all about their lives. Your first stop will be at the Coastal Bears habitat, then the Grizzly Bears, and finally the Black Bears.
