The Butterfly House and Aquarium

Conserve. Educate. Inspire. The Butterfly House and Aquarium is dedicated to creating a relaxing, interactive experience with a complete environment, inspiring wonder and appreciation for one of nature's most delicate species. The Butterfly House and Aquarium is South Dakota's only public saltwater aquarium. This one-of-a-kind attraction offers a unique learning experience for visitors and locals alike.

This project was constructed as a two-phase addition to the current site. The first phase included a 3,200 sq. ft. addition along with a 3,100 sq. ft. renovation. The second phase featured a 11,500 sq. ft. addition along with a 4,635 sq. ft. renovation. The first phase included an expanded office that is used to house the staff that is needed to oversee the facilities. The overall addition and renovation allows the Butterfly House and Aquarium to increase in their educational programming and expand their community impact.
