DINOSAUR PARK IN RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA
Free Family Attractions in Rapid City, South Dakota
Rapid City, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is a nice option for family road-trippers on a budget…who don’t want to skimp on wonder.
Here are some good places to stop in and around Rapid City:
Storybook Island is a theme park with more than 140 interactive fairytale sets, including the Wizard of Oz and Snow White.
Dinosaur Park features huge concrete re-creations of a Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex and more on a hilltop overlooking Rapid City.
Stavkirke is an exact copy of the famous 830 -year-old Borgund Church in Norway. The church features intricate wood carvings, strange dragon heads and pegged construction that make it as beautiful as it is unusual.
The City of Presidents is a series of life-sized bronze statues on street corners throughout Historic Downtown Rapid City.
Wall Drug is about 50 miles east of Rapid City on Interstate 90, and is a wacky must-stop for road trippers on their way to or from Rapid City. The 76,000 sq. ft. attraction includes photo props, interactive displays, shops and food. Wall Drug got its start during the Great Depression when wise entrepreneurs offered free ice water to thirsty travelers.
See some of the over one million trout and salmon raised by the Cleghorn Springs Hatchery and used to stock in-state fishing waters.
Touch a piece of history in Memorial Park. All that we ask is that you refrain from taking your sledgehammer to our section of the Berlin Wall.
