At its center sit the waterfalls of the Big Sioux River cascading over pink quartzite rocks—a natural wonder and the very reason Sioux Falls exists. Early settlers saw the magnificence of these falls, naming the city in honor of the Sioux tribes and the landmark that has shaped this community. The Falls has a rich history. And though the river and the paths it flows may shift and change over time, its significance to this city will forever remain.
Falls Park is a 128-acre, must-see spot for locals and first-time visitors. Walking paths allow you to explore around the park, taking in all the amazing views—there is no bad angle. Stop by the Visitor Center and Observation Tower, grab a bite to eat at Falls Overlook Café, and admire the sculptures—there’s so much to see and do here.
Oh, and did we mention that it’s FREE?
