Read our South Dakota guides: adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/category/south-dakota Check out South Dakota Tourism’s website to plan your own trip: bit.ly/southdakota-aplusk See the rest of our South Dakota trip: ua-cam.com/play/PLZKRTK1yCEM6Wn30wCYRfOJbPtjOh5p_v.html Safety is our #1 priority and we want to stress that this adventure, and all future adventures, will be done responsibly and with the health of others in mind. Here are the steps we are taking everyday, including in these videos: 😷Masks and face coverings. We wear these anytime we are near others outside and especially indoors. If we don’t have a mask on in a video, it’s 99% because there was no one around. ⏰ Exploring early. We normally start at sunrise anyway because of less crowds, but especially so with COVID. We have been starting our days before sunlight so we can limit our interactions. 🧼 Washing and sanitizing our hands, especially after touching anything outside of the van. 🚐 Being in the van 95% of the time when we’re not filming. The adventures we share are a small sliver of our lives. We are staying in the van all day everyday when working and the only time we leave is to do laundry, get gas, or go to the store. 6️⃣ Keeping our distance. We are trying to stay at least 6 ft from others, which truthfully isn’t always possible (and then we make sure we cover our face).
I’m not sure how you managed to hide that we all drive buffalo to and from work, and all work on hand crank power! I kid but that’s what my NYC friends all thought South Dakota was like
Adventures of A plus K seems to be common to believe that the central column on the lower 48 are all still the Wild West! Though I am surprised that Texas gets them as well, at least considering some cities in Texas rival South Dakota in population last I knew!
Currently a doctoral student from Sioux Falls living in Texas... came for the nostalgia, but stayed for the warm friendly cast! Very well done! The people of Sioux Falls will be proud when they see this!
They light the Falls up at Christmas I make sure and drive through like five times a year. You can tune your radio to the right station and the music is synced to the lights! It is amazing!!
Hey that’s my state! Fun fact: the Lewis store on the corner of Phillips downtown used to be a really cool store when the place fell down and they had to rebuild it. One person died in the process but when that happened there was a story of a dog that saved there owner when it went down!
Falls Park is really cool in the winter time when it’s covered in snow and when it’s so cold at the falls freeze. I moved to South Dakota five years ago and I love it here
As a Sioux Falls native and a foodie, I'm so happy you went to CH Patisserie and Bread and Circus. They are great representations of the good SuFu has to offer.
When I was in the Army and told people I was from South Dakota... They assumed I was some farm hick from the middle of no-where, and there was nothing in SD but cornfields and dirt roads... But its with the help of people like you and the internet, that the misinformation about this great state I grew up in, and eventually (after almost 30 years in the military and working for the government) came back to, and again call my home... There is a lot more to SD that you didn't get to... but I can't fault you for not being here during Pheasant Season... Or missing our (Kinda brutal) winters... But hey... -40 degrees keeps the riff-raff out!!! I enjoyed your views of my home... Safe travels!!
Thank you so much Greg, this means a lot coming from a local! Changing people’s perception of underrated states is one of our favorite things to do. South Dakota is so beautiful and full of so many things to do and we’re so happy to share it! We are not sad we missed winter though lol! We’re a bunch of wimps from Texas 😜
@@AdventuresofAplusK I have lived here my whole life and I loved the winter as a kid but once I started driving I realized why adults didn't like it as much lol.
I'm grew up in Sioux Falls and now live in OKC. My great great grandfather was the architect who designed the old courthouse, state penitentiary, and many other buildings. Thank you for bringing me a piece of home :)
This was a great series! I live in Sioux Falls but haven’t been out to the Black Hills since I was a kid. You’ve inspired me to get back out there and explore my home state.
As someone who has lived here my entire life, 17 years, I've realized I actually didnt even know a lot about this place and some of the great food offered downtown. I always just felt this place was really some boring place that no one really cared about besides the falls. But thank you, for actually teaching me more about my hometown and making me feel more excited to live here 💖 I hope ya'll come visit again someday!
Thank you for showing everyone how great Sioux Falls is!!! South Dakota is truly a beautiful place and you always hear how surprised everyone is once they see it first hand. I'll be moving here soon for good!
Thanks for stopping through and making an excellent video to showcase what most people would consider a fly over state/city. Lived here my whole life and wouldn’t chose to live anywhere else.
@@TheHistoryUndergroundI'm a local! Wind Cave is going on season 3 of being closed due to a downed elevator in the shaft. Not sure when it will reopen but Rushmore Cave is a beautiful cave to tour!
Sioux Falls is the hidden gem of the Midwest. My company (Dakota Tech inc.) stays very busy helping people & businesses troubleshoot technology issues here. Sioux Falls is rated #1 in the nation to set up both a business or trust. The city has massive potential for growth in the next few decades. We have 2 massive hospitals headquartered here as well as an Amazon city. Exciting stuff!
i have lived in sioux falls all my life, when i tell others im from south dakota they we live in teepees or on farms thank you for showing people our beautiful city
I appreciate you showing the things you can do in my home town of Sioux Falls. So many wrong perceptions about our state are out there, so thank you for showing everyone what you can do in SD ❤️ Downtown Sioux Falls is the best, and the falls, too, my favorite spots!
Also I appreciate you guys being careful around the falls people have fallen in and it's not safe if rocks are slippery you can go climbing but if you do avoid wet rock and be careful
During the winter they have lights that light up the water falls in the park, with all the snow and Christmas decorations they put up it looks amazing and really brings you into the holidays spirit. I love going every year to see the lights.
In 2008 on a trip to Minnesota our car broke down and we had to stay over night in Sioux Falls. I fell in love with the city. I was reminiscing about it and that is what lead me to this video. So glad I watched it. I hope I can make it back there again some day, but for longer than 1 night.
This is what I've been waiting for. I was born and grew up in Sioux Falls. When I was a teenager we could crawl around in those ruins of the Queen Bee Mill. There were some tunnels that would go back like 20 feet or more. The tower at the falls and the Arc of Dreams were all built after I moved away. I've been to the tower since, but I've never seen that Arc, how cool, you've shown me something new about my hometown.
Wow, that is so cool! It has been so fun hearing from current or former locals in South Dakota about their memories and favorite spots in the places we have been.
Sioux Falls is absolutely wonderful! I live in Sioux Falls, so I always know whenever anything new happens there because it's one of fastest-growing cities in the US.
My wife and I just got back to MN from our first visit to Sioux Falls and South Dakota. Went to every place you guys featured and then branched out to other attractions. Enjoyed everything about the trip. OMG the people are so nice there! Thank you so much for your fantastic video!
@@AdventuresofAplusK We really enjoyed the scene around Phillips Ave. So many great restaurants and bars plus lots of cool shops. We honestly did not have a bad experience on the trip!
All the food and drinks look delicious and the falls looked beautiful and amazing views. that is cool that the statues change. you guys had a great trip. thank you so much for sharing. take care my friend
I ALWAYS HIGH FIVE THE BEAR SCULPTURE TOO! Its so cool seeing Sioux Falls from a tourist perspective. I've never even been to the source or bread and circus, but I LOVE ch patisserie
There is one beautiful place that you missed, it's called Devils Gulch, it's the place where Jesse James jumped across the Gulch, and it's only about 20 minutes from SF
@@AdventuresofAplusK haha good! It's absolutely beautiful and you can get at least a couple miles in if you spend enough time there, along with the big sioux rec area in Brandon!
I live in sioux falls and its so cool watching downtown being filmed. My friends and I walk around downtown almost every weekend so that's really cool also we have some pretty good food here 😋
wow, it surprises me watching this from a tourist POV. i love sioux falls😊 i’m from chamberlain right in the middle of the state. glad you guys got to visit !
Hi guys I actually live in Sioux Falls it’s great to see you came !! Also falls park the falls are higher during certain points in the year that was at somewhat of a low point ! The falls also decorate for the holidays too !
Living in Louisiana and one year we took a trip up to South Dakota and ever since then I’ve been wanting to move up there and this video makes me want to even more...just something bout South Dakota was like home
Come back and visit the Washington Pavilion, Great Bear, EROS, McKennan Park, Terrace Park, and The Alibi! I’m so glad you went to the Patisserie- yum! Thank you for coming and for such nice things to say about our state!
i live in sioux falls and falls park is so beautiful you guys really need to go to falls park in christmas the waterfalls are colered green and red with lots of decorations it’s beautiful so
You guys did a great job in my state! And especially my city Sioux Falls. We love it here and is a great place to raise a family! I love watching your guys videos!! Thank you for such a great South Dakota series! P.s. I had no clue that sculpture place was out there before you get to Sioux Falls lol so I learned some stuff too lol
Loved your trip across SD! My husband and I are retired and love to do road trips. I grew up in WA and my husband moved there in his Freshman year of high school, so we are high school sweethearts. Anyway, my "home" is WA but we now live in NE and have taken a more than a couple of trips to SD, my husbands home growing up. Love the badlands and Custer etc....... You two are so cute and wishing we could go back in time and be young enough again to do all the hiking that you two do and discovering how beautiful OUR country is! We are retired military so have been around a bit ourselves, wouldn't change a thing but do love to live vicariously through your travels. Thank you and keep up the good work taking me hikes!!
High school sweethearts? That is amazing! We lived in Washington for 3 years and it has our heart. We love it there so much! Thank you so much for watching and virtually hiking and exploring with us! The US has so many incredible spots to explore and we cannot wait to share more!
Waking up to a new AOA+K is the best way to start my day. Sioux Falls looks cool and adds to my interest in exploring South Dakota. Thanks again for sharing your adventure in this beautiful state. Can't wait to see where you all pop up next. Rest well and much love
Come to Minnesota! The locals know but Duluth and the North Shore are amazing! That area doesn’t get much national attention but maybe that’s a good thing haha 🤫
The first time we visited Sioux Falls was in the winter months and the falls were frozen and looked dirty. But the next time we went it was beautiful! Hard to believe they are just steps from the downtown! You guys are so adventurous when it comes to your coffees! That one looked like something the Grinch would drink!
We love how close they are to town! We hear at Christmas they do a cool light show, but I am not sure winter in South Dakota is for us lol! Our favorite coffee shops are the ones with unique drinks, we love trying interesting combos!
Thank you for exploring and sharing my state!!! As a state that gets little to no recognition it’s really cool to see it acknowledged and an outside perspective!
Loved these videos! I have lived in South Dakota my whole life and you showed a few things that I didn't even know about. I am going to share your series with my SD teacher friends to use with 4th graders who learn about SD history for Social Studies. Amazing work covering our state so thank you!
Will be leaving on our own road trip from California to Illinois.in about 10 days. Many of the sites you shared on your vlog we have added to our travels and will make a great adventure. Thank you for sharing all of the fun points of interest through out South Dakota
i was born in siouxfalls, SD!! i will be moving to california soon after i graduate this year!!! i’m glad you guys liked it here, but it sucks in the winter time. the falls are so pretty in the winter tho!!!!
Thank you so much! We have been working on trying to describe food better. Since we can't ship all of y'all the food (we wish we could!), we want to at least make you feel like you're eating it with us 😄
Hey guys, great job of covering South Dakota and especially Sioux Falls. As you've mentioned in several of your videos, the general impression of plains states is that there's not much to see. Wonderful job of putting the record straight. Thanks for partnering with SD Tourism. Like how you sometimes team with tourist organizations and do an area in depth. Appreciate how it helps keep you on the road!
We’ve loved exploring the plains states and proving people wrong about them. There is so much to offer! We were so happy and lucky to work with the state tourism board! Those are our ideal partnerships and we’re always pumped when those come together!
I love this couple! So positive and full of energy. That statue of David has been diapered in the past. Don't ask me how I know. There's another Michelangelo statue replica in the city. It's the statue of Moses on the campus of Augustana College.

lake henefer and me? lol
Adventures of A plus K I live in Brandon and keep up the work
How was it? I live here and have not seen very many people do this.
We loved it! Beautiful state!
@@AdventuresofAplusK it is!
So crazy seeing my city through someone else's eyes. I need to get to bread and circus!
It’s soooo good! We hope you enjoy it!
Woah! You live in SD too? Im down in Mitchell.
I’m in Sioux Falls too
I live there to
ITVXY Games I'm in Sioux falls
I've never seen my city in such a touristy light! Maybe because I'm poor lol
I feel that exactly
Honestly same, I look at it like just a regular city! The place looks good in this video 🤣
The funny part is, I am in SD and people think we are just some poor farm people. Souix Falls is a great place to be!
Same
Same. I've always seen it as boring & ugly
"It's really windy today."
Nah, that level of wind is a day that ends in y in SD.
Hah!
😂😂😂
I can verify that
I’m not sure how you managed to hide that we all drive buffalo to and from work, and all work on hand crank power! I kid but that’s what my NYC friends all thought South Dakota was like
Hahahah I got similar comments growing up in Texas from my Midwest cousins 😜
Adventures of A plus K seems to be common to believe that the central column on the lower 48 are all still the Wild West! Though I am surprised that Texas gets them as well, at least considering some cities in Texas rival South Dakota in population last I knew!
It’s so funny the perceptions people have of other states lol!
some people from tennessee thought we rode buffalo to schooo HAHA
I was shocked to see my city pop up on my UA-cam feed! It’s so fun seeing it in this light
We loved getting to share it!
So weird seeing the city I've lived in my whole life be noticed.
It’s a cool city! We are glad we stopped by!
Currently a doctoral student from Sioux Falls living in Texas... came for the nostalgia, but stayed for the warm friendly cast! Very well done! The people of Sioux Falls will be proud when they see this!
Thank you so much Nick! We appreciate it!
They light the Falls up at Christmas I make sure and drive through like five times a year. You can tune your radio to the right station and the music is synced to the lights! It is amazing!!
That sounds SO magical! 😍😍
Hey that’s my state! Fun fact: the Lewis store on the corner of Phillips downtown used to be a really cool store when the place fell down and they had to rebuild it. One person died in the process but when that happened there was a story of a dog that saved there owner when it went down!
Oh wow! Dogs are the BEST!!!
Oh ya I think I remember hearing that I’m pretty sure the dogs name was teddy he is so cute!
Have they finished that place yet? I feel like it fell down three years ago or something and is still just a construction site but maybe I’m crazy
my mom drives past that place every day to get to work 👁👄👁
There was a lady in the apartment and she was on her bed when the building tumbled
Falls Park is really cool in the winter time when it’s covered in snow and when it’s so cold at the falls freeze. I moved to South Dakota five years ago and I love it here
We love frozen waterfalls and would love to see that!
@@AdventuresofAplusK theirs “winter wonderland” at falls park
That’s what we have heard! Sounds cool!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Yeah there is a lot of cool Christmas lights
yes! I love it in the Christmas time because they do all those awesome lights!!
As a Sioux Falls native and a foodie, I'm so happy you went to CH Patisserie and Bread and Circus. They are great representations of the good SuFu has to offer.
Sweet! Glad we picked good ones! It’s always hard to decide, but those spots really jumped out at us!
Don’t forget getting Chislic at any locally owned restaurant in the area. Blarney Stone and Barrel House are truly my favorites

Oh how this makes me feel like I take the beauty for granted of the city I spend every day in!
We believe there is beauty and fun anywhere and we loved Sioux Falls!
Yah!! As a life long South Dakotan, we thank you!! We love our great state!!!
We love it too! So happy we were able to visit!
I am glad you got the mascot of downtown Sioux Falls sound in the background. The trains are constant in downtown Sioux Falls.
Hahahaha we definitely heard a lot!
That’s because Sioux Falls was founded to be a good middle city for the rail road!
@@AdventuresofAplusK yeah it sucks.
Truth!🤣🤣
Great place to live to but the winter will catch you off guard!
I bet!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I have lived here my whole life and I loved the winter as a kid but once I started driving I realized why adults didn't like it as much lol.

Oh wow, that is incredible!
This was a great series! I live in Sioux Falls but haven’t been out to the Black Hills since I was a kid. You’ve inspired me to get back out there and explore my home state.
Yay! We are so glad to inspire you to go out there! We loved the entire state so much ❤
I live here in Sioux Falls but I barely go out, you’re video inspired me to go out more and enjoy it
We are so happy to hear that! 🙌🏼
So happy you're having fun ☺ 💓
Because you made this video, I will definitely visit South Dakota. I didn't know they had such cool stuff!!!!
Woo! Mission accomplished! 🙌
Holy cow! It is crazy to see someone else travel to my state and city! Sioux Falls gang!
🙌🏼🎉
Everyone gives the bear a high-five and it makes my day!
Hahaha that is awesome!

Omg fr. I didn’t know we had cool restaurants like this downtown. I have to go visit them now lol
Amber D. Ummmm...Sioux Falls unfortunately is very boring...
@@debbiethorson7772 No one asked for your opinion 😗
Lol...I’ve lived here most of my life, prove me wrong !
Thanks for sharing my state. I was waiting for this blog to go out to see what part of my town you will show. Your last stop. Love my town.
It’s a great place! We have loved getting to share your state! ❤️
Thank you! And enjoy your next adventure in another state.
Thank you for showing everyone how great Sioux Falls is!!! South Dakota is truly a beautiful place and you always hear how surprised everyone is once they see it first hand. I'll be moving here soon for good!
We really really loved the state! Sooo many gems and we had no idea for most of our lives!
I love those darn macaroons!! Haven’t been in downtown in a bit but the second I go THATS were I’m goin!!
Oh my gosh, soooo good! 😍😍
This is an beautiful country with beautiful people
Thanks for stopping through and making an excellent video to showcase what most people would consider a fly over state/city. Lived here my whole life and wouldn’t chose to live anywhere else.
Of course! Thank you so much for watching, we loved your state and city!
Kudos on an awesome job! Love how you guys showed my home state & Sioux Falls! Specially the falls the namesake of our city!
Thanks and thank you for watching!
I've really enjoyed this South Dakota series. There was a lot that I missed when I went through there. Gives me a good excuse to go back :)
So glad you enjoyed it! What are you most excited to see when you go back?
@@AdventuresofAplusK - Wind Cave was closed down when I was there, so that would be nice to see. And I missed the Needles Highway too.
We will need to go back to see the cave too! And the needles highway is a must! 😍
Agreed!! We avoided Rapid City and Sioux Falls due to COVID but now I want to go back again
@@TheHistoryUndergroundI'm a local! Wind Cave is going on season 3 of being closed due to a downed elevator in the shaft. Not sure when it will reopen but Rushmore Cave is a beautiful cave to tour!
You high fived High Five Bear. You've done everything you needed to do in SF.
Hahahaha score! 👏🏼🐻
Sioux Falls is the hidden gem of the Midwest. My company (Dakota Tech inc.) stays very busy helping people & businesses troubleshoot technology issues here.
Sioux Falls is rated #1 in the nation to set up both a business or trust. The city has massive potential for growth in the next few decades. We have 2 massive hospitals headquartered here as well as an Amazon city. Exciting stuff!
i have lived in sioux falls all my life, when i tell others im from south dakota they we live in teepees or on farms thank you for showing people our beautiful city
Of course! We love sharing places that others may not know much about or think to visit 😃
I live in Sioux Falls & have never known how much more there is to my town!!!❤️❤️
We are so happy we could give you some new spots to check out!
Thank you for the South Dakota blogs , very beautiful, informative
We're so glad you enjoyed them!
Sioux falls is a wonderful place I love it here and I will love here for the rest of my life
It is a great city!
Looks like another outstanding location to add to my list. Thanks for sharing!
Woo! We’re sorry for making the list longer, but are excited you want to visit Sioux Falls! 🤗
Seeing the Ark of a Dreams at night has been on my list for years, finally get to see it this summer!
Very cool!
The best city in America. Thanks for coming!
Of course! We had a great time!
I’m from Sioux Falls it’s crazy seeing how ppl react to the city I live in
I appreciate you showing the things you can do in my home town of Sioux Falls. So many wrong perceptions about our state are out there, so thank you for showing everyone what you can do in SD ❤️ Downtown Sioux Falls is the best, and the falls, too, my favorite spots!
Of course! We loved getting to share it!
Yesss
I have lived in Sioux Falls my whole life. SoDak is an amazing state filled with amazing people! :)
We couldn’t agree more!
They have light shows by the falls during the summer! Super cool!
That would be awesome to see!
Also I appreciate you guys being careful around the falls people have fallen in and it's not safe if rocks are slippery you can go climbing but if you do avoid wet rock and be careful
Absolutely! 😄

Yea, I loved crawling around in there too. But i'm glad they really cleaned up and improved the falls area.
@@wiengo509 Yes, they really turned the Falls park into a destination. It was getting bad in the early 90's.
Wow, that is so cool! It has been so fun hearing from current or former locals in South Dakota about their memories and favorite spots in the places we have been.
I would've loved to crawl in those! Adam, maybe not so much lol!
Sioux Falls looks like a really cool town!! OMG, I've been saying macaroons wrong my whole life!! 😂😂😂
Hahahah you and us both! 🤣😜
just a little tip I learned while in France: oo is a coconut type cookie but o is the sandwich :)
It’s so confusing because everyone we know says it wrong lol!
Sioux Falls is absolutely wonderful! I live in Sioux Falls, so I always know whenever anything new happens there because it's one of fastest-growing cities in the US.
We didn’t know that, that’s awesome! 🙌🏼
Hey thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your travels! Cheers!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
My wife and I just got back to MN from our first visit to Sioux Falls and South Dakota. Went to every place you guys featured and then branched out to other attractions. Enjoyed everything about the trip. OMG the people are so nice there! Thank you so much for your fantastic video!
Ah yay! SO happy you enjoyed your trip! What was your favorite thing you did?

Thank you so much for watching, we're glad you enjoyed it! It was a really fun day and week!
I moved to South Dakota over a year ago and I love it here. Went to the black hills and it’s so beautiful there. Also, love Wahl as well!!
It’s such a gorgeous state! 😍
Glad to live here. Clean, quiet, place to live.
We really enjoyed it!
I lived in Brandon, SD -- right near Sioux Falls -- until I was 9. Eons ago. I would love to go visit.
I grew up about an hour from SF and now my brother lives there. My son is going to SE Technical college there. Love that City so much to do and see!
That is awesome! What are your favorite things to do?
Fun fact: During Christmas time in Falls Park they put up lights and have Christmas music on while you drive through the park. It’s really cool.
That sounds fun!
I ALWAYS HIGH FIVE THE BEAR SCULPTURE TOO! Its so cool seeing Sioux Falls from a tourist perspective. I've never even been to the source or bread and circus, but I LOVE ch patisserie
Hahahah the bear statue is so fun! And we highly recommend both of those spots. That sandwich was 💣!
Being from south dakota i appreciate the recognition of my home state ❤
You have a great state!
Thank you for sharing my hometown I’ve been living here for 24 years and I will never leave❤️😁
Of course! 🤗🤗
I live in Sioux Falls but had to see what food places I haven’t tried! Lol, so thank you
Ah nice! Glad to share some new spots!
Loved traveling this area! Looks like you had a fantastic time and beautiful weather. I have to agree with the treats, I would have wanted 20 also 😆
Lol! We could've eaten SO many! But our wallet would not have loved that 😂
The Falls Park is my favorite place to go when I need to thing or when I just want to hangout. I love Sioux Falls
Definitely not a bad spot for that!
Thanks for another great video! It made me laugh, when you’re from Texas you don’t say Macarons you say macaroons LOL. Looking forward to more videos😀
Lol! Macaroons is 100% how we have been saying it! 🤣
@@AdventuresofAplusK me too! I think everyone else MUST be wrong LOL
Thank you for stopping by, come back again some time.
We sure will!
There is one beautiful place that you missed, it's called Devils Gulch, it's the place where Jesse James jumped across the Gulch, and it's only about 20 minutes from SF
We have been hearing so much about Devils Gulch! It’s high on the list for next time!
@@AdventuresofAplusK haha good! It's absolutely beautiful and you can get at least a couple miles in if you spend enough time there, along with the big sioux rec area in Brandon!
Sweet! We can't wait!
Don't forget the Palisades just a few miles away from Devil's Gulch, some nice trails next to the river, and actually some decent rock climbing!
I remember going there, its so beautiful :)
I live in sioux falls and its so cool watching downtown being filmed. My friends and I walk around downtown almost every weekend so that's really cool also we have some pretty good food here 😋
What is your favorite restaurant?

Your area was pretty cool too! We visited the dignity statue the day before this, which was beautiful!
Thanks for visiting the city I love. Im happy you enjoyed aSioux falls

Hi guys I actually live in Sioux Falls it’s great to see you came !! Also falls park the falls are higher during certain points in the year that was at somewhat of a low point ! The falls also decorate for the holidays too !
That’s crazy that was considered low! And we have heard that the holidays are magical!
Can't figure out why my mouth is watering! H-m-m-m, wonder why? Awesome video again, you guys!
Hahaha this meal was droolworthy! 🤤
Living in Louisiana and one year we took a trip up to South Dakota and ever since then I’ve been wanting to move up there and this video makes me want to even more...just something bout South Dakota was like home
That is so awesome! We hope you can make it happen!

Thank you Wendy! 🤗
Great job. We’ve been to Sioux Falls and really enjoyed it.
We’re glad you enjoyed it there too! 😄
Come back and visit the Washington Pavilion, Great Bear, EROS, McKennan Park, Terrace Park, and The Alibi! I’m so glad you went to the Patisserie- yum! Thank you for coming and for such nice things to say about our state!
Thank you so much for all of the tips! We loved South Dakota!

You guys did a great job in my state! And especially my city Sioux Falls. We love it here and is a great place to raise a family! I love watching your guys videos!! Thank you for such a great South Dakota series! P.s. I had no clue that sculpture place was out there before you get to Sioux Falls lol so I learned some stuff too lol
Thank you so much Lindsey! So happy you enjoyed the series and that we could show you something new! 🙌
Loved your trip across SD! My husband and I are retired and love to do road trips. I grew up in WA and my husband moved there in his Freshman year of high school, so we are high school sweethearts. Anyway, my "home" is WA but we now live in NE and have taken a more than a couple of trips to SD, my husbands home growing up. Love the badlands and Custer etc....... You two are so cute and wishing we could go back in time and be young enough again to do all the hiking that you two do and discovering how beautiful OUR country is! We are retired military so have been around a bit ourselves, wouldn't change a thing but do love to live vicariously through your travels. Thank you and keep up the good work taking me hikes!!
High school sweethearts? That is amazing! We lived in Washington for 3 years and it has our heart. We love it there so much! Thank you so much for watching and virtually hiking and exploring with us! The US has so many incredible spots to explore and we cannot wait to share more!
Thanks for visiting the state and city I call home.
Absolutely! Loved it!
Great preview of Sioux Falls. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out, I need to checkout those places you ate at, looks delicious!
Thank you! And yes you totally should. They were amazing!
Always enjoy watching your videos. Hopefully one day I'll share your real life adventures
Thank you so much for watching!
Waking up to a new AOA+K is the best way to start my day. Sioux Falls looks cool and adds to my interest in exploring South Dakota. Thanks again for sharing your adventure in this beautiful state. Can't wait to see where you all pop up next. Rest well and much love
"Sioux Falls". Sioux "City" is in Iowa.
@@wiengo509 Oops Thanks Kirby :)
Excited to share our next destination sometime next week! 🤗
You made my town look amazing
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Come to Minnesota! The locals know but Duluth and the North Shore are amazing! That area doesn’t get much national attention but maybe that’s a good thing haha 🤫
We plan to be up that way next year! We keep hearing how incredible it is!
I have family in MN and I just went to the schroeder area for the first time this last month...it seriously is incredibly beautiful. You're so right!
The first time we visited Sioux Falls was in the winter months and the falls were frozen and looked dirty. But the next time we went it was beautiful! Hard to believe they are just steps from the downtown! You guys are so adventurous when it comes to your coffees! That one looked like something the Grinch would drink!
We love how close they are to town! We hear at Christmas they do a cool light show, but I am not sure winter in South Dakota is for us lol! Our favorite coffee shops are the ones with unique drinks, we love trying interesting combos!
Thank you for exploring and sharing my state!!! As a state that gets little to no recognition it’s really cool to see it acknowledged and an outside perspective!
Of course! We really loved it and think it deserves a lot of love!
Loved these videos! I have lived in South Dakota my whole life and you showed a few things that I didn't even know about. I am going to share your series with my SD teacher friends to use with 4th graders who learn about SD history for Social Studies. Amazing work covering our state so thank you!
As yay! We are so happy to hear that! ❤️❤️
Will be leaving on our own road trip from California to Illinois.in about 10 days. Many of the sites you shared on your vlog we have added to our travels and will make a great adventure. Thank you for sharing all of the fun points of interest through out South Dakota
We are so happy to hear that! We hope you have an amazing and safe road trip! 😄
That was fun. What a cool state!
So glad you enjoyed it Wanda! ❤
Love this video!
Thank you for watching Michele!
Moving there next month! You guys rock! Keep the vids coming!!!
We hope you enjoy it! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Finally someone can visit this town!
🤗🤗
i was born in siouxfalls, SD!! i will be moving to california soon after i graduate this year!!! i’m glad you guys liked it here, but it sucks in the winter time. the falls are so pretty in the winter tho!!!!
We definitely are fine not visiting in the winter lol! We are wimps!
Wow. Looks like a gorgeous place to be.
It’s a pretty cool city!
Love your food reviews, such detail!
Thank you so much! We have been working on trying to describe food better. Since we can't ship all of y'all the food (we wish we could!), we want to at least make you feel like you're eating it with us 😄
Hey guys, great job of covering South Dakota and especially Sioux Falls. As you've mentioned in several of your videos, the general impression of plains states is that there's not much to see. Wonderful job of putting the record straight. Thanks for partnering with SD Tourism. Like how you sometimes team with tourist organizations and do an area in depth. Appreciate how it helps keep you on the road!
We’ve loved exploring the plains states and proving people wrong about them. There is so much to offer!
We were so happy and lucky to work with the state tourism board! Those are our ideal partnerships and we’re always pumped when those come together!
Thanks for the shout out! Glad you enjoyed your stay!
We loved it! 😄
I love this couple! So positive and full of energy.
That statue of David has been diapered in the past. Don't ask me how I know. There's another Michelangelo statue replica in the city. It's the statue of Moses on the campus of Augustana College.
Hahaha we have heard sometimes he gets a bit of cover 🤣 Thanks for the kind words Bill!
Yo wait a minute, someone actually came to my state and made a video. Can I say how proud I am of it now🥺
Hahaha ❤️❤️
