If you go to Sioux Falls, you had better stop by to see the falls themselves. The city has outdone itself in showcasing the ralls in this very creative park. It is free and the parking seems plentiful. Well maintained sidewalks take you all around the area and there are some places to snap beautiful photos. A tower in the... More

We enjoyed visiting the falls but there was a strong fowl odor lingering outside. The people working in the souvenir shop acted like they did not know what we were talking about when we asked them what that was. Someone said there is a meat factory nearby causing the smell. It was a bit hard to take.

Without the falls this is an ordinary city on the plains. The falls make (and name) the city. In Minnesota we have a lot of dramatic waterfalls along the shore of Lake Superior which are reminiscent of these falls in Sioux Falls. The city has done a great job making the falls (and the greater river) very accessible. If you... More

Nothing compares to the beautiful pink stones, the well kept paths, and the missouri river. This park is so simple yet so unique. definitely worth exploring and relaxing in. I love how so many of the parks in Sioux Falls are connected by their trails along the river

On our way from Minnesota to the Black Hills in SD, we usually stop in Souix Falls for gas and to stretch our legs for a bit at the Falls Park. It is a beautiful park with the river running through. The kids like to climb on the rocks along the river and stretch their legs. Make sure to climb... More

Various scattered falls and flowing water, easily accessible for young children, nice hangout place for family. We liked it very much. Although it was windy, but nice sunny weather which made it worthwhile. Definitely recommended to visit, if you happen to go that part of the country.

What a beautiful place to walk around and eat! If you are looking for a great way to see the falls, go to the falls visitor center and walk up to the observation deck. This is a free attraction, and allows you the chance to both see the falls well, but also to learn more about their rock composition. There... More

I only got to stay in Sioux Falls for the night but certainly wanted to see Falls Park we have a Falls Park in Greenville South Carolina so I would definitely want to check it out. I love how they intertwining history of Sioux Falls as a community with the Falls itself. However the falls were very low with water... More

I get to sioux falls a couple times a year. The falls park is always a must stop and visit. It's so beautiful. Take the time to visit. You will not regret it.
