Downtown Rapid City has a variety of shops and restaurants, plus Main Street Square where they have something going on almost every weekend including ice skating in the winter, and summer nights on Thursdays all summer long. Some call Rapid City the city of presidents because of the presidential statues on the street corners all over the downtown area that you can check out.
Thank you so much for visiting Downtown Rapid City! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit. Come back and see us again soon!
. . . looked like an interesting town to spend some time in. Unfortunately, we arrived late in the [Sunday?] afternoon on a motorcoach tour and found almost nothing open. We set out on foot to find dinner --- BeauJos (home of mountain pies = fabulous pizzas!!!). Walking to dinner we discovered life-size statues of US presidents and learned that they had most scattered across downtown.Being an early riser, I had the perfect opportunity for a self-guided tour of downtown on a quest to locate and photograph all the presidential statues. I also found that their visit center not only has a map locating the presidents but also has ice cream! And, passed numerous interesting looking shops and art galleries.
In any visit to the black hills you have to visit downtown rapid city. The historic buildings are full of interesting shops and great restaurants.
The heart of the city has enjoyed an amazing face lift and I love seeing people down there enjoying it. Whether skating in the winter or enjoying music in the summer....bringing people together in public spaces is awesome.
What a wonderful review! Thanks so much for visiting Downtown Rapid City and Main Street Square. We hope to see you again soon!
At most corners are statues of the presidents. Pretty patriotic! Lots of restaurants & shops close by to explore
We have been to Rapid City many times and always enjoy it. It is a charming little Downtown with many lovely, large parks in the area. Nice place for walking in the good weather and everything you need here. Great place for hockey!
We visited recently and were very impressed with the downtown. We stayed in the area and enjoyed being able to walk around to so many unique shops and good restaurants.
Went down to Oasis and to Shotgun Willies B squad at best at Shotgun Willies and Oasis is always a great time
