I wish we had taken a tour of Rapid City and learned more about the downtown and Main Street area. There are 43 statues of past presidents. There are also quite a few restaurants and shops. Stay away from Delmonico's!!!! Over priced and poor service.

We traveled around RC and had a nice time. Got to see a few sights and enjoy spending time shopping. The gas prices are not bad as well as the prices in the stores. We enjoy our visit.

We were driving across country and happened to stay in Rapid City. Of course we checked Tripadvisor for a restaurant and picked one downtown, Delminoco's, which was great and then walked the downtown area. I wish more would have been open but if I'm ever back I will plan the trip around the area. It was very eclectic and we... More
