I-29 and SOUTH DAKOTA
  Interstate 29 joins Kansas City and Omaha to Sioux City and the Dakotas finally ending at the Canadian border. You might call this the River Route; it follows the Missouri River upstream from Kansas City to Sioux City. Then it follows the Big Sioux River to near its head waters. From there, it's the Little Minnesota River (but from a little greater distance). Eventually, near Hiuckson ND, I-29 closes in on the Red River of the North until they reach Fargo. At Grand Forks, they come within kissing distance once more and remain that way, more or less, all the way to the Canadian border.
   Interstate 29 is a vital economic link for the eastern Dakotas and Iowa to Omaha and Kansas City.

Sioux Falls

Visitors' Center - Their main office is at 200 N. Phillips Avenue. Get on I-229 (on the east side of Sioux Falls) and drive to exit 6. Drive west on 10th Street (SD-38) to Phillips Ave (4 blocks after you cross the Big Sioux River). Turn right on Phillips , go 2 blocks north. The Sioux Falls Convention & Visitors' Bureau is on the opposite corner at your right.

Falls Park Visitors Center & Tower - Another, perhaps more interesting, visitors' center, is just a few blocks from the downtown Convention & Visitors Bureau is the Falls Park location - just a few blocks away. Next to their office is a tall, enclosed viewing tower with an outdoor viewing deck. No stairs, folks, they have an elevator. You look down at the waterfalls, the city and the surrounding area - a great view and well worth the detour.
  Follow the directions to the Convention & Visitors' Bureau (above) but, instead of stopping at 8th Street continue north on Phillips Avenue to 6th Street. Turn left and go west, crossing Main, etc., to Falls Avenue. You can see the tower standing tall above the buildings.
  The Falls Park phone is 1-605-367-7430. They have a page on the CVB web site at FallsPark.

Sioux Falls: The Waterfalls - It may be one thing to have a large, powerful river running right through your downtown but Sioux Falls has something more: a 300 foot waterfall.
  This, once industrial area, had fallen into serious decay. In 1991, funds were collected to revitalize the area and restore Sioux Falls (the waterfalls) to a prime tourist attraction. Perhaps not completed (will it ever be 'completed'), Sioux Falls now has Falls Park, great views of their 300 foot waterfalls and even an observation tower for their visitors' enjoyment.
  Directions to Falls Park are above.

Catfish Bays Greatest Show on H20 - This is a 90 minute summer theater production that has acting, singing and dancing but all choreographed to amazing stunts on the water. This is probably the most popular summer show in Sioux Falls area.
  From I-90 take exit 399 and go 1 block to the north of the interchange. Turn left and follow the frontage road about 0.5 miles to Catfish Bays.
  Admission runs $9; $6 for kids 6-12. Show times vary - phone for schedule for the dates you expect to be there. For more information, phone 1-605-339-0911 - or - visit their web site at CatfishBay.

Chuck E. Cheese - First, we did not visit the place but were told about it by a family who had. The following information is condensed from a phone conversation with the folks at Chuck E. Cheese.
  This is a chain with several locations around the country. They are seriously family-oriented and provide entertainment from puppet shows to video games (including levels for all ages) while helping you gorge yourself on their famous Chuck E. Cheese pizza. The family with whom we talked were happy with the experience but warned that you can spend a lot of money if you don't keep a close rein on the kids.
  For more information phone 1-605-362-6100. The lady with whom we talk on the phone mentioned a web site, chuckecheese, We have viewed it and were impressed by how much more the designer was concerned with fancy graphics than communicating any useful information.
  From I-29 exit 77, exit and turn left following W. 41st Street  3 blocks to Louise Avenue. Turn left and it is a block and a half up on your right at 2600 S. Louise Avenue.

Sertoma Butterly House - Step into the world of tropical and semi-tropical butterflies. Here you can stand among them as they, free-flying, wander about looking for bright colors and, hopefully, nourishment. They do have a snack shop and a gift shop.
  Open from 10a to 6:30p daily except Sundays (1-4:30p) from 1 April to 15 October. From 16 October to 31 March hours are 10a to 3:30p daily except Sundays (1-3:30p). Admission $6 (kids 3-12 $4).
  From I-29 exit 77, exit and turn left following W. 41st Street  3 blocks to Louise Avenue. Turn right on Louise and drive south to 49th Street. Turn left and follow 49th to Oxbow Avenue. Turn right on Oxbow and then the first left into their parking lot (4320 S. Oxbow Ave.).
  For more information, phone 1-605-334-9466 or view their web site at: Sertoma.
