Food Scene

Quaint and cozy Australian Roasting company. We love their pastries, their breakfast and especially their coffee. Try the Mediterranean Scramble or Apple Sausage Hash...or go for an afternoon treat and ask for an Aussie Iced!

Tally's has some of the best breakfast, yet some of the most unique and flavorful dinners we have ever had. If you're feeling brave, have your table order the "Indecision Meal" and let the chefs choose your courses for you. It is a food adventure and we've never been disappointed!

Wonderful coffee shop for families with kids. The #oakswagen is fun to hang out in while enjoying their Belgian waffles or their Quinoa breakfast bowl. Try their daily coffee special too!

Drinks & Nightlife

Great for unique atmosphere and delicious desserts to pair with your cocktails. There is a fee involved to get in, but the views of the entire city from atop the Historic Alex Johnson Hotel are worth it!

The Firehouse has something for everyone. Great food, live music on weekends, a full wine bar next door with gift shop, AND a theater upstairs with shows every Friday and Saturday night. They are open for lunch too :-)

We love the authentic brewery experience at Woodland. New sours on tap are regularly rotated and food trucks will soon be on site as well so you have no reason to leave!

Parks & Nature

Only 25 minutes from downtown Rapid City. Scenic drive the whole way there. We love seeing the monument itself, but admittedly go several times a year for the hiking trails and our kids love the ice cream from the food court :-)

Great for kids and adventurists. Tons of local wildlife (taxidermy exhibit) to learn about as well as outdoor walking trails and a mud kitchen. Archery, fishing, and kayaking are sometimes offered or can be arranged ahead of time.

Entertainment & Activities

What better way to relax on vacation than with a yoga session from The Yoga Studio? The teachers area all amazing and the classes are engaging and fun. Try an early morning Vinyasa to get yourself moving or get your sweat on at Hot Lunch.
