About Wings & Waves 2023

At this year's Wings & Waves Gala, you'll learn more about what it means for the BHA and GPZ to be stronger together as the Sioux Falls Zoo & Aquarium! Plus, you'll hear all about our plans to create a year-round destination for education, conservation, and discovery!

Funds raised will support the efforts to bring all the elements of land, sea, and sky to one campus and continue building connections with the natural world.

The Wings & Waves Gala provides an excellent opportunity to connect and network with business leaders, influential community member, plus staff and volunteers from the BHA and GPZ.

The evening will feature dinner, desserts, opportunities to bid on unique auction items and experiences, and a chance to engage with live animals from both the Butterfly House & Aquarium and Great Plains Zoo at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Sioux Falls.
