Enjoy hiking or biking and rent paddle boards, canoes, kayaks and more right in the heart of Madison! Did we mention this is where we got engaged?
Who doesn't love a round a golf! Hit a hole-in-one at Madison's gorgeous full course.
Roughly an hour northwest of Madison lies De Smet, SD -- at one point home to Ingalls family known from best-selling book and tv show "Little House on the Prairie" For $20 experience the magic of the prairie!
A little over an hour west of Madison is the World's ONLY Corn Palace. Yep, you heard that right.
There is PLENTY to do in Sioux Falls, but why not get started with it's namesake -- Falls Park. The Falls rest in the heart of Downtown Sioux Falls, where you will find enough small businesses, activities, and fun food to keep you entertained for a day or two!
A question we've received from many of our out-of-towners (which is pretty much everyone), "Can I visit Mount Rushmore when I come to your wedding?" The answer is yes, IF you're willing to drive 6ish hours to the opposite side of the state to experience it. The western side of South Dakota is home to many historic attractions, but we do want to preface that summer is the BUSY season. If you do intend to travel there we recommend you plan ahead, some national and/or state attractions may have specific requirements that need to be accounted for months in advance. PLUS, the drive is very desolate (no we're not kidding, it is hours with little to zero gas stations, bathrooms, and people). However, don't let this deter you from enjoying what South Dakota best known for! We just want to encourage safe, smart travels :) A travel guide to this region can be found below!
