Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls combines an urban downtown with the open prairie character of eastern South Dakota in a way that reflects its position on the Big Sioux River. Falls Park is the city’s defining public space, where the river drops over pink Sioux quartzite; the ruins of the 19th-century Queen Bee Mill recall an early industrial chapter. Downtown extends from the river through a compact center of shops, restaurants and galleries, while SculptureWalk places changing outdoor sculpture among its streets each year. The Washington Pavilion, in a former school building, adds performing arts and museum programming to the cultural mix.
