Along the Route
See The Falls Themselves
Any trip to Sioux Falls should start with seeing the falls themselves. Located within Falls Park, the Big Sioux River rolls into the signature falls of the city. Falls Park itself is 123 acres with biking and walking trails that connect to the whole city. During a visit to the park see if you can spot the remains of the 19th century Queen Bee Mill across the river.

Explore the SculptureWalk
SculptureWalk is a year-round exhibit of 55 sculptures on loan from artists to the city of Sioux Falls. Each year the public votes for a favorite sculpture which becomes part of the permanent collection. The downtown art walk runs from Washington Pavilion to Falls Park which includes the landmark ‘Arc of Dreams’ spanning the Big Sioux River.
For more information on the art and artists please see the SculptureWalk website .
