Great Plains Zoo earns accreditation

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The Great Plains Zoo has achieved accreditation by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. With fewer than 10% of attractions earning the distinction, it is considered one of the most prestigious achievements in the zoo industry. Great Plains Zoo President and CEO Becky Dewitz says the accreditation standards “continuously evolve to ensure we are achieving the highest standard for animal well-being”. Mayor TenHaken says, “This accreditation speaks to the team’s dedication in providing an incredible zoo experience”.
