Unique Things To Do in
Rapid City
Dahl Arts Center
DAHL ARTS CENTER

 

Rapid City has plenty of attractions and sites that are off-the-beaten path. Visitors will discover interesting and quirky sites throughout the city. 

 

  • Check out a 200-foot canvas mural depicting 200 years of American history. A year is a lot to cover in 12 inches, but the mural at the Dahl Arts Center manages the task.

 

  • Visitors may doubt their senses after a visit to the Cosmos Mystery Area where they can see balls and water roll uphill, change their height on level platforms and sit on the walls on a tour where mystery and science meet.

 

  • Tucked in the foothills at the western edge of Rapid City, the Stavkirke is a replica of the 830-year-old Borgund Church in Norway. The Chapel in the Hills is a free attraction and is open until dusk. Worship services are conducted nightly in the summer.

 

  • Mount Rushmore is a National Memorial with a museum, sculptor’s studio, bookstores and hiking trails, just a 30 minute drive from Rapid City. Parking: $10.

 

  • The Journey Museum showcases the natural and historical evolution of the Black Hills area. Admission: Less than $7 a person.
