That makes this course great for children, beginners or anyone looking for a walkable course. We just use walking carts here but people do rent gas carts. On a weekend it was twenty bucks for 18 holes. This course is enjoyable for what it is. If you are looking to make long drives, go to a different course. I would recommend this for great family fun.

Kudos to them. Tip: ask the pro shop to tell you what hole was once rated as a top 18 hole in the state of South Dakota. It is one of the back 9 holes (I think), and it is about 70 yards... good luck on that tiny, two tiered green. Tip: Carts are available. It is very flat and easily walked, but why spoil a nice round of golf with a walk?

Don't let the city population of less than 1,000 fool you, this 9-hole par 36 course is legit. With well-manicured greens, multiple tees, mature tree-lined fairways, and a full service clubhouse with bar & grill; Meadow Acres is arguably the best course per capita in the tristate area. The course layout balances well, catering to both the everyday, and the casual golfer alike. Meadow Acres will offer you a fun, fair, and enjoyable round of golf that will offer just enough of a challenge while still being score-able.

I cannot for the life of me understand why they are calling this a Japanese garden. This is a small…read morestretch of grass and paving stones near some water. If this city wanted to call it a park, that would be passable, but it's actually insulting and frustrating that they are calling this a Japanese garden. I was able to find what I think is a Japanese maple and they had a bridge that looks like they tried to style it in a Japanese style over an empty bed of rocks that was possibly intended as a koi pond once upon a time, but as it stands, there is nothing Japanese about this location. It's really confusing. For anyone who's not clear, putting a stone lantern from Pier One next to a walkway does not make it a Japanese garden. To add insult to injury, they had the sprinklers going full blast at noon with only one pathway in and out. We got soaked, as did many other people who seemed like locals that were just trying to walk on their lunch break. I was hoping to stop here and feel a little more Zen but I left wet and annoyed.

From very young to a little over the hill, they all were having so much fun performing and showing what they could do. The first half of the show was meant as a demonstration and instructional type show with the announcer explaining what they were doing and what the technical terms were. It gave some of the newer skiers an opportunity to perform and get used to the nerves! He also provided background on a lot of the performers and it's amazing how many have gone on to win awards throughout the world, all starting at Catfish Bay! It's a small little lake but they're doing amazing things on the water! The corny little skits by "Norm" as filler had the kiddos laughing hysterically!! Very enjoyable evening and the special 4th of July fireworks after the show were phenomenal!!

We discovered the playground at Jacobson Plaza within the first two days here and thank goodness, because it is fantastic. There are three different play structures and even smaller play areas for even younger children. From what a local resident told me, it only opened within the last year, and you can tell. Everything is in great shape and is obviously up to every safety code. There are three of those little zip line tracks as well which, let me tell you, are fun for everyone- kids and adults. It's really cool to watch everyone play together. On the other side of a fence is the Falls, next to it is a splash pad and next to that is a Grill- all within the same safe, spacious parking lot. So when you're done playing and are hungry, check out the grill, and then across the street get some cotton candy at The Candy Cloud Factory. Your kid will love it here, and there's plenty of seats with awnings for parents (and aunts!)

Moving from the dry desert landscape of Phoenix to Sioux Falls has been one of the biggest…read moreenvironmental changes my husband and I have ever experienced. And honestly? We still haven't gotten over just how wonderfully green everything is here. One of the places that truly helped us appreciate the quieter beauty of Sioux Falls was the Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum and East Sioux Falls Historic Site. My husband and I have visited arboretums, gardens, and historical parks all across the country and in several parts of the world, so we naturally gravitated toward this peaceful little corner of the city. What makes this place especially interesting is that it isn't simply an arboretum. The grounds are deeply tied to the early history of Sioux Falls itself. The site preserves portions of the original East Sioux Falls settlement, which once thrived around the pink quartzite quarries that helped build many historic structures throughout the region. Walking through the area, you can still see remnants of old foundations and learn about the workers and families who once lived there during the late 1800s quarry boom. There is something quietly haunting and beautiful about that combination of history and nature intertwined together. The arboretum itself is peaceful and restorative. Walking paths wind through lush greenery, flowers, native plants, trees, and small water features, all accompanied by the soft sounds of nearby water and the Big Sioux River flowing close by. The atmosphere feels uniquely serene, especially during the warmer months when everything is in bloom. Coming from Arizona, where much of the landscape around Phoenix is brown, rocky, and dry, the sheer amount of green here honestly still feels therapeutic to me. Sometimes just seeing so much life growing around us feels like relief for tired eyes. And the quietness. That may actually be my favorite part. The gentle sound of the river, birds moving through the trees, and the peaceful stillness make it easy to lose track of time while walking together. My husband and I have returned here many times simply because it helps us slow down and breathe for awhile. It may not be one of the massive famous arboretums we've visited elsewhere, but there is something deeply calming and historically meaningful about this place that keeps drawing us back again and again.
