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.

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.

Cute little aquarium with some interactive exhibits. You can touch starfish and sea cucumbers and stand in a bubble which puts you in the middle of the fish. The butterfly room is as nice as any I’ve been in with plenty of pathways and many butterflies flittering about. Plants are lovely and there is also some turtles, fish and 2 quail. Good gift shop and the staff is friendly. We went here right when it opened on a Friday and were surrounded by kindergartners the whole time but it didn’t feel too crowded at all. We were there for 90 minutes and then headed out on the bike path which runs by the aquarium. There is also a nice park right there with equipment and stuff for families.
