We took in The Teddy Roosevelt Show our first night in town. It was entertaining and educational. The actor had you believing he really was T Roosevelt. It was a great introduction before visiting the national park the next day. The theater was well kept and comfortable. Because of Covid they suggested everyone wear masks and spread out in the general admission seating. It would have been helpful to have a staff member to help people choose appropriate social distanced seats. We moved twice before the show after people sat right next to us. I would highly recommend this show. The cost of $18 a piece was worth every penny.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park it's one of our favorite places to go. We love the north unit the best. The camping has potable water available but you must use your camper electricity and sewer. Although there are restrooms. It is a beautiful park for hiking and seeking out animals in their natural habitat. The campground hosts are good to warn when the largest of the animals are roaming nearby but sometimes ya just gotta be alert. Most of the animals are born in the park so the animals are used to us humans, but be cautious they are still wild animals. An early morning or late evening drive is a good viewing time. Some of the animals we have been privileged to see are wild turkeys, rattle snakes, wild horses, mule deer, prairie dogs, kestrel, golden eagles, bison, mountain sheep, bats, fox, badger, elk, white tail deer, coyotes, long horn steer. Hope I haven't missed some. The hiking trails are unique, one follows a crevice in the ground, one crosses flat land to a prairie dog town, several hikes stay on high ground with beautiful scenery all the way. Some call it the bad lands, but it doesn't look bad to me, it is gorgeous. The south unit has its unique hiking trails also. So hard to explain, ya just have to go and experience it all yourself. The south unit has the tiny town of Medora nearby. Don't overlook this amazing National Park. It is...well just amazing.

We stayed in Medora while visiting Teddy Roosevelt National Park. It is a small western town with such hospitable people ! The venue is an outdoor mini amphitheater located in an area with such beautiful views of the surrounding area. The show is great for people of all ages. This show hits you right in the heart, with the great sense of pride for North Dakota , Teddy Roosevelt & a love for America that is portrayed through these talented individuals. The night my family attended they honored veterans. Due to CoVid seating is at half capacity . We felt safe & it felt terrific to be able to attend a show after 4 months of safe at home orders. You won't be sorry.

As I looked at the beauty of the terrain, I found myself wondering, "What did the pioneers think when they saw this?" The breathtaking views also remind you of the dangers of the Badlands. The Badlands were named appropriately. This overlook has clean bathrooms, lots of room for photo opportunities and picnic tables. It was incredibly windy the day we stopped so we didn't stay long. It is worth the stop before you go into the south unit of Teddy Roosevelt National Park.
