    The cascades was an amazing place to spend time in. And the walk up the watch tower is worth it. You will get a full view from all angles.  more »

    A true Gem in the middle of Sioux Falls. And yes there is a smell and it needs to be cleaned up a bit. But regardless a place worth the visit.  more »

    A must see for anyone near or passing through Sioux Falls. We stayed one night in our way to Rapid City and we randomly stopped at the park. The site was spectacular. We enjoyed a stroll through the park and also viewed via one of the observation decks. This is a great place for some quiet time for yourself, a romantic evening with a partner, or quality time with family and friends. We hope to visit again someday!
  • By Ed Boone
    Amazing falls with several layers each of which are quite impressive. The falls were way better than I had expected. So close to the interstate. Definitely worth the stop. In fact if you don't stop you are really missing out on one of the best falls in America. Do your self a favor and see this.
