Reviews
Overall, great experience. There was plenty to do in the few hours we visited. However, we entered after 4PM as it said online that the tickets were cheaper only to be charged full price. We brushed it off and went in anyway. The only big issue we had was with everything closing before 8PM. We went swimming first and then went to other activities like mini golf, go karts, and batting cages. Unfortunately we were unable to experience any of these activities because they all closed between 7-7:30! I think if the park is open until 8, all activities should remain open. We were very disappointed to be turned down to mini golf at 6:50 because “the course closes in 10 minutes.” It is a great place, but we experienced too many rejections when doing any non-water activities.
Definitely needs some updates, especially the bathrooms. The bathroom closest to the entrance had most of the bathrooms out of order. The one snack shop was out of at least half of everything on their menu but didn't have anything crossed off to indicate that. Another was out of a lot of food items but the bigger stand had all of those items in stock. Why wouldn't you share the inventory so no one was out of anything? Best part is definitely the wave pool.
No issues. Kids had a good time. Although there could be some improvements on their queue line with speedy service rather than holding the line up by calling out orders they should use a vacant window to help speed up queue line a bit better in service area for hot foods. The lazy river could had more donuts when about 10% of them were just idling over the lazy river bar and causing a backup in the line. Could been better regulated. Didn't see any issues with the slides outside normal queue time for waiting your turn can't really improve much on that outside of adding more water slides. But overall the service line is the one that could been improved on the most. If anything on menu is out or broken. It's understandable but should at least have a sign up that's 2 things we discovered they were either out of something or broken. Despite that it was overall a good experience for my daughter at the Waterpark. The bathrooms were disappointing clogged toliet badly. I opt to hold it till I got home. I see this place as a fun place to go but as the years have gone but it just feels like it's becoming a tad stale/or getting lack in appearances in some areas. Not saying it'd reduce business after all it is a fun place to be but it has vast growth potential to improve upon/update or even expand.
The place is very nice, the weather was not in our favor because it was raining and they closed the pools but they gave us a pass to return the next day. The same thing happened but at least my children were able to enjoy it more. It is beautiful. I recommend it. We paid $126 between 5 people. 3 adults and 2 children do not let you in drinks or food but inside you can buy for an affordable price
So the water park was great. We all had fun. One of the best lazy rivers!!! Great place. Pink Flamingo's campground was ok. The staff was great. We had a tent but all lots have rocks everywhere. Lots of mosquito!! Long walk to bathroom.
We had fun. We got in using discounted tickets that are available. It's especially a good deal if you go for $5 after 4PM. The park is small and somewhat worn, but everyone found something they liked. The food was surprisingly good and very reasonably priced. They offer typical snack-bar fare plus amazing cheese curds. A great way to cool off and have fun on a summer afternoon.
For the adults, the park offers a swim-up bar or you can take an adult beverage over and watch the kids frolic. There's plenty of seating and shade options available if you'd prefer to stay out of the sun.

Tested out a waterproof purse at Wild West Water Park. Loved the season pass. Loves the wave pool, lazy river, and water slides! Everything you need is there. Great concessions. Rented a locker! Was awesome!
For a zoo in South Dakota, it's much larger than I anticipated and it's still growing. Plenty of animals. Place is pretty awesome and the admission fee was very reasonable. $13-$15. Definitely will visit again in a few months.
We love this zoo! It's a great zoo if you have kids AND if you don't! Also, the best food I think I've ever had at a zoo and for a very reasonable price. I miss the museum of natural history in the building, but I look forward to seeing what they come up with instead...I hope it's awesome aquarium!
We had lots of fun. It was cold when we went and had to find places to warm up a couple times but an overall good experience.
We were visiting Sioux Falls in early March and decided to check out the zoo. There were some exhibits closed, but many others were open, and some were inside buildings. It was a nice little zoo, and we're looking forward to returning in the summer to see all of the exhibits, and some of the new features that were under construction!
Really great experience, lazer teg arena was a lot of fun and a lot cheaper than galaxy gaming. Arcade was pretty overpriced but the bowling was fun. Would recommend coming in the summer for the go kart track
We took our kids and noticed a golden egg in the giraffe enclosure. We opened it to find a pin and a coupon for a free stuffed animal! We were lucky enough to find another before getting ready to leave. After turning in our 2 coupons we thought there may be another egg to find so we headed back inside to look around and ended up finding one egg for each of our children we brought to the zoo that day! Our kids were so excited and thought it was so cool they each got a fun animal to remember our zoo trip with. It was a fun surprise for us because what kid doesn't want a fun animal to bring home after spending half the day at the zoo?!
What a great time! The staff was so nice and attentive. They took such great care of us for my son’s 6th birthday. Highly recommend. Way better than the larger arcade chains.
Met a friend and her grandsons there for a fun outing! Games and rides were great! We ate lunch there and the food was great and reasonably priced. Our server was awesome and happy, friendly and very accommodating! We had a great time!
The wife and I took the kids here for the first time, and they were just floored by all the amazing animals. The exhibits are clean, well maintained, and really beautiful. The animals really felt at home and happy. Many of them seemed to perk up and put on a show for us as we visited them. The staff was really knowledgeable and shared some really fascinating information about the large cat exhibits. We had gone here as kids and just couldn't believe how well it was maintained and all the great improvements. The surprise hit with my daughter were the wolves! So thankful to have a zoo of this quality nearby, and we'll definitely be back!
The zoo was fun, most the animals were running around. Some of the animals where gone and there is some work being done plus the train is shut down, but it was still fun to see what was there. We were able to walk the whole zoo in about 2 hours.
Customer service is very kind and really great. Lots of fun for everyone at all ages. Outdoors are great, and the same fun goes for indoors. You definitely need a minimum of a few hours spent here to be able to enjoy it all, especially if you have a lot of people with you. Only downside, its expensive. It doesn't matter if a child or adult it is the same price.
Campground Review: AWESOME! We booked this place site unseen after having a not so great campsite about an hour an half away. BIG RIG FRIENDLY! This newly constructed campground was everything we needed to accommodate our 41’ rig, family and the staff was very friendly! The bathhouse rooms have a private toilet, shower and sink with coded entry- I loved this as a Mom with younger kids. The pond had some massive fish- but be sure to wear your tennis shoes or boots when fishing, there are a lot of prickly thistles around it. That didn’t stop us though! The kids made it onto the fishing hall of fame wall with their Northern Pike catch. Sites are water and electric, with dump station. Free water park passes for up to 4 people when you camp. Shuttle to and from the water park. If we ever return to SD from Illinois, we will be back here!
Such a fun time. The staff made the night absolutely amazing. Such friendly and knowledgeable staff. Mini golf was fun, go karts we’re awesome, laser tag was a blast, and the 7D Theater was stunning. Thank you so much to the staff for making the experience even better. These young folks need a raise!
Thunder road is a blast!! The kids love the unlimited deal. Those go-karts are F U N. Great family time and enough room you can spread out and enjoy your time playing games, riding rides, golf, and so much more.
We bought a three hour package for a birthday that included one hour in the party room and two hours "free for all" style. The only real negative thing that happened was that they forgot to put the pizza in the oven so we ended up not having the pizza until about 30 minutes into our one hour with the party room. That being said, we didn't let it hurt the day as we went into presents and cake and that did the trick. Additionally, when the pizza did arrive, everyone said it was worth the wait and was delicious! Not your typical kids birthday pizza. After that, well, the kids had a great time on the go carts, tiltawhirl, Lazer maze, arcade, bumper cars, and water balloons! Heads up, 50 credits in the arcade doesn't go far but, for our group, I was happy because they would have spent the entire time in the arcade! While we had the one hiccup with the food, the staff was super nice and I know my son wants to come back for his birthday as well so we'll see what a winter package looks like. The kids LOVED it!
We had the BEST time at Thunder Road! We purchased packages for Unlimited Indoor and Outdoor actives for 3 hours, and HOLY SMOKES was it worth it! We took two of our teen boys and they were non stop! Even the biggest kid (aka Dad) had a blast! The team there is so friendly and fun! We will definitely be back soon!
This zoo is such a great little place to visit. I have a membership and it is definitely worth the cost! It pays for itself after just a couple visits. It's not too busy during the week. The train and carousel don't operate during the week, but they are a fun treat for kids on the weekend.
The volunteers are the best! They are so kind and patient with children and do a great job helping people of all ages learn more about wildlife.
The Delbridge Museum is awesome.
