ZooBoo Sensory Sunday

Sunday, Oct. 18 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Explore the entire Great Plains Zoo campus with free-flowing trick-or-treat stations, unique decorations, and plenty of photo-ops!

Sioux Falls Zoo & Aquarium works to be an inclusive place of fun, education, and discovery! This year we have added a sensory day on Sunday, October 18 to allow those with sensory processing needs to experience the event. Sensory day will still have all the ZooBoo fun with a lower capacity and less noise. In an effort to ensure those with sensory sensitivities have a ZooBoo experience to last a lifetime, we ask that you please not reserve a ticket for this day if you do not require it.
