Our whole family went to 1880 town recently and we all loved it. I thought it was better than other similar old town type places, as it wasn't just a single row of buildings - it gave you the feeling of living in a town like that in the old days. The people were so very friendly and helpful, I... more

While cruising along I-90 in South Dakota, you can't help but notice the billboards for both Wall Drug and the 1880 Town.

Upon returning, total admission was $8.40... more
