Have you ever wanted to go to a Crystal & Stone shop and feel like you've entered a magical place?…read moreThis is the place! Val has been growing and expanding her business for years and has created this one of a kind store that not only offers a large variety of stones/crystals, but she also has the wisdom and knowledge to back them up! Beautiful energy, price points for every budget (budget and crystals-what? iykyk).

We've gotten a magnetic dart board, Globby, gum ball machine, slap watch, educational placements, baby gifts, and books here. They have high quality toys and clothes. They carry brands I have come to love and their service is top notch! The sales associate last week was a teacher and interacted so beautifully with my boys. She wasn't pushy and complimented them on their manners. Highly highly recommend to all! We will be back again when we need something!!

It is easy to drive right by this museum as it looks like a regular park. In fact surrounding this…read moremuseum are fields for recreational purposes. Upon closer inspections, you'll see the outline of the USS South Dakota Battleship. A life sized outline that is. In the center is an information center that has lots of insightful information on this ship and it's relevance in WW 2. This particular battleship survived many of the great wars between the USA and Imperialist Japan including Midway, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and the surrender of Japan in Tokyo. One spectacular artifact is the Japanese flag from the lone surviving Japanese Battleship, the Nagato surrendered to the US. There are many amazing photos presumably taken by sailors on the Ship as well as letters to families of men who died on the Battleship. I was particularly moved by the tribute to Leonard "Vito" Coangelo who died in battle. Seemed like a man who was everyone's best friend. Set aside 45 minutes and do visit this place. Although it is free, it was impossible for me to leave without making a donation to this historical landmark.

House tours have always intrigued the nosy side of my personality :) A friend and I went here and really enjoyed it. There is a 25 min video they are offering that was informational (this is a recorded tour from when they weren't offering tours). We did get to enjoy the tour with a guide as well - it was very special getting to see the different rooms and hear the history of the home and the Pettigrews. There is also a museum addition that you go through at the end that is focused on the history of Sioux Falls and very informational. Overall I'd recommend this when you are in town. It was interesting.

I was looking for jewelry hardware (findings) to finish a bracelet I had started a while ago. The…read moreselection of findings here was just what I needed to complete my project. I even found rattail (kumihimo - Japanese braiding) on sale for a future project. The owner was behind the counter when I was there and had some great suggestions for finishing my project. The shop is downtown in the "historical" shopping district and parking is on the street. I had a little trouble maneuvering the one way streets. The shop is on the small and narrow side, and I agree with another reviewer that with a few customers or a class inside, it will feel crowded.
