Congratulations to the Sioux Falls Butterfly House and Aquarium, which just announced that it will triple in size and be renamed the Dakota Aquarium! (Don’t worry, the butterflies are staying.) The growth and other changes are the result of a massive $7.5 million fundraising campaign, which is halfway over.
The expansion will grow the facility to 27,000 square feet and add more exhibits, like some featuring octopus, stingrays, and a coral reef lagoon.
Expansion work is expected to start in 2021. The Butterfly House celebrated its one millionth visitor in September 2018.
