While fall is a gorgeous time here in the Mount Rushmore State, it can also get downright chilly, leaving you scrambling for somewhere that is warm and – dare we say – tropical. Sadly, South Dakota isn’t typically thought of as a tropical destination; however, we do have a unique attraction that will give you your fill of the tropics, which is the beautiful Butterfly House & Aquarium:
Located in Sioux Falls, the must-see Butterfly House & Aquarium is arguably the most magical spot in eastern South Dakota, thanks to its many colorful residents.
Opened in 2002, the Butterfly House & Aquarium is a first of its kind state attraction, as it houses both the only public saltwater aquarium and year-round butterfly house in South Dakota.
Featuring thousands of species of fish and crustaceans, the Butterfly House will make you think you've left the Queen City for a warm Hawaiian vacation.
