The Wells Fargo dome was really nice. The movies are shown on a huge screen. Fun to explore in the rest of the pavilion.

The Washington Pavilion is another asset to the Sioux Falls community. Concerts there have perfect acoustics and there are very few bad seats. There are so many things to see and do for families and children. Great place to visit.

I only go on the free night as it is not worth paying to go to, Last time i was there over half of the interactive displays were broke. Free night is the 1st Friday of each month after 5

Plenty of activities for the kids as well as entertainment for adults. The Kirby Science Center is both fun and educational and is a hands-on learning experience.

I didnt think you could mess up a chili dog but what I got was some taco meat on a stale bun with a cold dog. That wasnt even the worst thing we got. The "sausage soup" tasted like what consisted of leftover italian pizza sausage mixed in with melted velveeta. Sooooo gross.

The Great Hall is a wonderful place to take in live performances. Also here is a large area for childrens entertainment and educational experiences. There is usually some sort of display set up as well.

9.50 will get you into the IMAX show. Its absolutely worth going to-large screen that is to the left, right and above you, with surround sound-makes it feel like you are actually in the movie! The Kirby Science center is also worth a stop, as it is included in the price. Myself and two other adults spent almost an hour... More
