Celebrate The Holiday Spirit At The Butterfly House And Aquarium

The holiday season is fluttering and floating into Sioux Falls, and the Butterfly House & Aquarium is ready to celebrate with a day full of festive fun. On Saturday, December 13, from 10 AM to 2 PM, families are invited to step out of the cold and into a warm, joyful world for "Holiday at BHA!"—a cheerful tradition perfect for kids and adults alike.

Guests can start the celebration by meeting Santa and Mrs. Claus, who will be on hand to hear Christmas wishes, pose for photos, and spread holiday cheer. After visiting with the Clauses, warm up with a stop at the cozy hot chocolate and cider bar, the perfect place to recharge before jumping into more activities.

You can also take photos in front of the gingerbread backdrop that will be available. Young visitors will love getting creative at the craft station, where they can write heartfelt letters to Santa, make personalized ornaments, and do gingerbread-inspired sticker crafts to bring home. It’s a hands-on way to spark imagination and add an extra touch of holiday magic to the day.

You'll be mesmerized by the butterfly house and the aquarium as you step into two completely different environments. Both of them are cozy, warm, and perfect for a holiday visit.
