If you love beautiful Catholic Cathedrals, this is a must if you are in Sioux Falls. The interior is every bit as beautiful as many of the great cathedrals of Europe we have visited. We were fortunately to get there as noon mass was beginning. Congregation members were very friendly.

The Blood Run Nature Area

Reviewed By susanskyy

We were looking for a pretty place to take the dogs and go for a little hike in nature. This was exactly what we wanted. Only saw a couple other people hiking so its not over populated. You can do a short hike or keep going. The path is either gravel or well cut grass. The paths are flat. There is even a bathroom on the trail, but no running water. Take water. A lot of the hike is in full sun. We were there about 3 hours, just perfect.

Falls Park

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.

We just loved walking downtown viewing the sculptures. Very clean and inviting store fronts. These sculptures were beautiful. Sure glad no one destroyed these like others that are being destroyed in our Country.
