Zoo critters are coming to the Sioux City Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center! On May 3, 2025, the Sioux Falls Zoomobile will lead a 45-minute sit-down program featuring live animals. This program will begin at 11:00am in the Betty Strong Encounter Center auditorium. Admission is free and the event is appropriate for all ages.
Audience members will have the chance to meet a few charismatic animals under the supervision of Sioux Falls zookeepers. The program will focus on reptiles and invertebrates, their characteristics and special creature features. They will discuss what their habitat is like and what it looks like to take care of each beautiful, unique animal.
During the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the explorers were mesmerized by the diverse and colorful wildlife in the Louisiana Territory. The expedition had many exciting and sometimes precarious encounters with animals like grizzly bears. The explorers’ journals are among the earliest natural history books about animals west of the Mississippi River.
