    A nice visitor with lots of information about the Badlands. It is small and there were a lot of people in there on the day we stopped. They have a nice selection of gift items as well a books about the area. The staff was friendly and helpful.
  • By Cody McGhee
    Awesome place to spend the day at. Lots of good trails to hike and plenty of good overlooks that you can just drive right up to. They have a great visitor center with souvenirs and any additional information you may need on the park.
