If you only have time for one stop in Sioux Falls, it has to be Falls Park, the city's namesake. The park is comprised of over 128-acres and located just north of downtown, along the Big Sioux River. An average of 7,400 gallons of water drop 100 feet over the course of the Falls each second. Enjoy the Falls from the many different viewing platforms, including the five-story observation tower. Falls Park is also home to a rich history that includes some of Sioux Falls' oldest buildings.

Thunder Road has Mini Golf, Go Karts, and an indoor arcade!

Butterfly House & Aquarium (BHA) campus is located in Sertoma Park in Sioux Falls. It is the only public saltwater aquarium in the Dakotas and one of only a few butterfly houses nationwide that are open year-round.
