Zoofari is the Great Plains Zoo's Party of the Summer for grown-ups, 21 and older only. It's coming up on Thursday, June 26, from 6 to 9 PM.

Party guests will have the chance to meet ambassador animals, feed giraffes and farm friends, tour the zoo's vet clinic, experience an interactive horseshoe crab exhibit, and more.

Plus, Zoofari participants can ask every animal question they have during very special zookeeper chats, and you'll also be among the first people to hear about exciting new developments at the Zoo and Butterfly House & Aquarium.

The food this year will truly be spectacular as it is going to be amazing global cuisine and delectable desserts being done by Vespa Catering. The same people are behind Maribella Ristorante and R Wine Bar.

The music of Steel Groove will lift your spirits while you're exploring from 4:30 to 6 PM, and Geoff Gunderson will be entertaining on the Primate Lawn from 5:30 to 6:30 PM.

Tickets are $100 and can be purchased online right now.

You can get in on some of the fun right now with the silent auction online.

Proceeds from Zoofari will go toward the mission of bringing the Butterfly House & Aquarium to the Great Plains Zoo campus so that the whole wild world will be in one place for the Sioux Falls community to enjoy.

Also, the proceeds support the zoo's many educational programs and animal care.
