You may not think of South Dakota as a state that has a lot to do. But there are so many cool things across the state. This will be one of a series of posts about things to do in South Dakota. Rapid City is the second-largest city in the state and offers a beautiful view of the Black Hills mountain range, but the city also offers some fun activities.

City of Presidents
Mount Rushmore isn’t far from Rapid City but you can still learn about the historic presidents in the city at the City of Presidents area. The streets in downtown Rapid City is home to life-size statues of past presidents. Interesting fact, George Washington was a tall 6 foot 2 inches!
Art Alley
This alleyway has walls that visitors can use as their canvas! It is highly encouraged for people to use graffiti to express themselves at this alleyway that runs between 6th and 7th street in downtown Rapid. There is a rule though. If you are going to cover someone’s work, it has to be because you actually believe you can improve it or add something to it.
