Sioux Falls Zoo & Aquarium (SFZA) works to be an inclusive place of fun, education, and discovery. This year we have added an additional ‘Sensory Hour’ to ZooBoo from 10 – 11 am on Saturday, October 18, to allow those with sensory processing issues to experience the event. During this time, the capacity allowed will be low.
We ask that you please not reserve a ticket for this time if you do not require it so that others that do can have a ZooBoo experience to last a lifetime!
Costume Guidelines:
While we want everyone to have a fun experience and feel free to express themselves, we value safety and offer a family-friendly environment for all. Please read our guidelines below:
- No inflatable costumes as they can agitate animals.
- Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be offensive or violent in nature.
- Costumes may not contain any sharp or jutting objects that could harm other guests.
- Adults may wear costumes, but we ask that they be family-friendly.
- SFZA reserves the right to ask adult to remove costume masks.
We offer a variety of community sessions and courses to bring Move U out into your favorite spaces and provide further education about children.
Provider Education
Ideal for daycare facilities and schools
Our team tailor’s the session to your specific aged children. We equip you with the knowledge and skills to recognize behaviors, address concerns, and when to take advantage of additional resources.
Client Education
Targeted for local businesses and stores
Do you have a regular following that is active in the child community? Host a private event where Kristin focuses on a topic to educate your clients and customers. The format is typically a 30-minute session followed by Q&A. Private consultations are available by request.
Non-Profit Education
Specific for non-profits focused on children
In an hour or less, learn about a topic of your choice. Whether it’s our clinical expertise, identifying solutions to frequented problems, or a broad spectrum of topics, we are happy to help your organization grow and better understand children.
Small Group Classes
Ideal for a targeted group of children
Nail down a theme and recruit 6 children or less to focus on development, enhance skills and have a blast while doing it!
