Staff is a lot of fun and very helpful. We went to the downtown location and did the axe throwing, so much more fun than I thought it would be. Plus when you are done they also have bean bags, giant jenga, and other games as well.

Park with waterfalls where the river flows over many tiers of Sioux quartzite.
Reviewed By 935kristieg - Saint Peter, United States
This is the second time I’ve been there but I didn’t realize you must walk to the right to see the amazing falls. Last time we went, we had fun climbing on the rocks and didn’t realize the amazing falls and paths and cool historical artifacts. We always park in the first lot so I guess this is how we missed it the first time. My pics probably don’t do it justice, but it was a beautiful winter day and it was cool to even get to walk across the frozen Sioux River to get from one side to the other.

If you’re looking for a nice peaceful place to eat your lunch, read a book, or simply stop to think about all the amazing men and women who have served our country....this is a great place to be. The park is beautifully laid out and is very spacious. The park is well maintained and the statues really make you stop and appreciate the soldiers who have died for our country. I wish my town had something this beautiful to see every day. The paths are easy to navigate by foot or wheelchair and there is a restroom just in case you need that too.

As I never expect to get to Italy I was very impressed with this statue. It was in a beautiful park next to the river. I walked to it from the Hotel on Phillips and was glad for the exercise and nice views.
