    Definitely stop by for a brief visit to learn about local stockard history! They have nice displays, and families with preschool and elementary age children will enjoy the hands- on play and learning in the lower level.

    I stumbled upon the place. What a surprise! It's beautifully restored inside and out. Two levels. From videos of people telling first hand how things were, to wonderful kid oriented ag displays that I enjoyed like a kid. It's vivid local color available on a visit to Falls Park. The closest parking is off Sioux Falls Park Dr. on the north side

    There's a wheelchair accessible entrance, and it's super informative! Definitely geared more towards children, but there are plenty of things for adults to learn as well!

    This was an interesting experience to check out. It is a free museum but you can make a donation on site or online. The upstairs portion is much more information based while the downstairs is more hands on. Kids we saw there seemed to enjoy the downstairs as they can scan products to learn more about how they are made as well as where they come from.

    We went in just to see what it was and we spent over an hour there! Well laid out building full of pictures and history but the real draw for my family was the lower level where they have the farm to table exhibit. It's like a mini children's museum! Hands on, clean and so fun!

    Fascinating place! Learned about the history of the Sioux Falls Stockyards (opened in 1917) over its 95 years. Then another floor had great exhibits telling about agriculture today. Well worth the time!

    I thought it was very educational about the area and interactive. My 4 year old had so much fun scanning and learning about food.

    What a great experience going through the exhibit! Brought back many memories of working at John Morrell!!

    This was very educational and worth seeing--especially if you don't come from a farming background.

    Great place to go both for kids and adults! The exhibits are informative and the farm to table side is a blast to interact with! <3

    This space exceeded my expectations. It provides a great visual and interactive history of the Stockyards in Sioux Falls and the lower level of the building provides a vibrant, hands-on way to learn about the modern agriculture industry, not just of SD, but of surrounding states too. A nice space for students and adults to celebrate Sioux Falls history and learn the field to table process.
