Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in South Dakota

My advice is to book your tours in advance, especially during summer weekends. I got lucky, but I saw some folks disappointed because they couldn't get in

I recommend wearing good shoes because the cave floors can be slippery. I saw a few people struggling and it slowed things down.

If you're looking to save some cash, pack a picnic! The views are so nice, and there are great spots to eat outside instead of spending at the visitor center

I think you should definitely make time for the scenic drives in the park. They're breathtaking and a nice break from cave exploring.

Check the schedule for cave tours ahead of time. They can fill up quickly, especially during the summer. I almost missed out on the tour I wanted!

Bring a light jacket. It's much cooler inside the cave than outside which caught me off guard! I was shivering a bit halfway through.

If you're planning to take photos, go with a camera that does well in low light. My phone shots didn’t capture the beauty of the cave at all!
