A Visit to Grandma Martha: Stop 3 - The Great Plains Zoo and Delbridge Museum of Natural History



We went to the zoo in Sioux Falls on Saturday morning. It was pretty neat. The front part had lots of exhibits that are similar to other zoos.






The rhino part was really neat. It was in a part of the zoo designed to mimic Africa. This is the Daddy rhino.


These are the Mama and the baby rhinos.



The next part of Africa was the giraffe and the zebra area. It was really cool.





The funny little bird below had just had babies and would make a loud sound when the giraffes came too close. The giraffes would take off running!


We ran into our cousins around the barnyard area. Ainsley tried to help Maisey and Emmitt milk a cow.


Dad captured two critters hatching out of giant eggs.



After seeing the zoo, we went inside to the Delbridge Museum. Essentially, it was a collection of stuffed and mounted animals from a local area hunter's collection. They also had a cute little play area for Ainsley.




Love,
Ainsley, Ben and Cameron
