The Best of South Dakota
16
items South Dakota is a hidden gem in my opinion, here's a few things to make you wanna take a trip there!
Crazy cool to drive through this tunnel. The first time I went though I almost had a panic attack haha, but it was worth it. Such a fun adventure.
Needles Eye Tunnel
Underwhelming in my opinion, but still gotta go see it once. They always look so huge in pictures, but they are a bit small in person. The giftshop/cafe was nice to spend some time in.
Mount Rushmore National Memorial
Very underrated national park. I love the way the lines show off the history it took to make these beautiful badlands. This area stretches for miles so make sure you stop and take it all the beauty they have to offer.
Badlands National Park
I found this super cool that South Dakotawas the geographic center of the nation. Definitely worth a stop if youre in the area.
Geographic Center of the Nation Monument
Only South Dakota would they have a corn palace haha. It was fun to stop and see. Make sure you get a picture with the sign on the side of the building.
Corn Palace
Interesting spot, definitely check it out. They have tons of cool souvenirs, some yummy foods, and more outside for the kiddos to play.
Wall Drug Store
Cool town right outside Rapid City. They are mostly known for the huge motorcycle events they hold each year. We went in off season so it wasn't packed. Worth driving through.
Sturgis
Lot's of casinos in this little town. Definitely worth checking out if your around Rapid City. The history alone is cool, then add in the night life and you have yourself a fun time.
Historic Deadwood
Cool building to check out on the outside. Its gated off so you can't go in but still worth a visit if you're in the area.
Homestake Mining Company
If you're in the area stop by and see the film site for Dances with Wolves.
Film Site - Dances With Wolves
This is one of the national parks to take a guided tour through. They offer a few based on length/time so make sure to pick one out best for you. It was a really interesting park, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Wind Cave National Park
You can't visit Custer without stopping for a famous slice of pie at Purple Pie Place. They have so many great flavors, always fresh and tasty.
Purple Pie Place
The history of this monument is pretty interesting. The story of it and the people who started/continue to work on it was cool to learn about. Stop by and learn more if you're visiting the area!
Crazy Horse Memorial
Stop in here to visit the world's largest Bigfoot. Make sure you get a picture with it!
Dahl's Chainsaw Art
This chapel is an exact replica of the one they have out in Norway. Very cool to look at the architecture this building has.
Chapel In the Hills
You know the drill 🤤🤤 tiktok blew this company up so much they now offer a chance on the weekends where you can go and make your own personalized peanut butter mix. If you're in Rapid City stop in and check it out, definitely a fun spot to visit.
