As South Dakota’s largest city, Sioux Falls is packed with cultural attractions, family-friendly activities and history. Falls Park is the top attraction, featuring 123 acres of green space, waterfalls and historic buildings along the Big Sioux River.

For arts and culture, visitors can stroll through downtown to see 55 sculptures along the SculptureWalk, which includes the stainless-steel Arc of Dreams sculpture that spans the Big Sioux River, and then watch a live performance at the indoor Washington Pavilion or the Levitt at the Falls outdoor amphitheater.

Families will find plenty of excitement at Wild Water West Waterpark and the Sioux Falls Zoo & Aquarium (including the Great Plains Zoo and the Butterfly House & Aquarium). Explore the city’s past at the Old Courthouse Home Museum and Pettigrew Home & Museum.
