The Washington Pavilion is another asset to the Sioux Falls community. Concerts there have perfect acoustics and there are very few bad seats. There are so many things to see and do for families and children. Great place to visit. More

Plenty of activities for the kids as well as entertainment for adults. The Kirby Science Center is both fun and educational and is a hands-on learning experience. More

I didnt think you could mess up a chili dog but what I got was some taco meat on a stale bun with a cold dog. That wasnt even the worst thing we got. The "sausage soup" tasted like what consisted of leftover italian pizza sausage mixed in with melted velveeta. Sooooo gross. More

9.50 will get you into the IMAX show. Its absolutely worth going to-large screen that is to the left, right and above you, with surround sound-makes it feel like you are actually in the movie! The Kirby Science center is also worth a stop, as it is included in the price. Myself and two other adults spent almost an hour... More
