Between Pelican Lake and Lake Kampeska sits a city that inspired wildlife artist Terry Redlin, whose works now fill the grand Redlin Art Center. Wander through Bramble Park Zoo, where animals seem as content as the locals who fish these waters. Summer days call for splashing at the Family Aquatic Center or boating on Lake Kampeska. The Codington County Heritage Museum reveals stories of prairie pioneers who somehow thrived in both brutal winters and scorching summers. Sandy Shore Recreation Area offers respite with beaches that would surprise anyone who thinks South Dakota is just endless plains. Downtown's brick buildings house cafes where waitresses still call everyone 'hon' and mean it.

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed the convenience of the location, parking and ease of access into the building. They offered free cookies and coffee and had a little grocery area that was helpful. Our room was large and accommodating and we love that it had a kitchen. They didn’t have pots, pans or utensils but I’m sure that we could have asked for them. The room darkening shades were great and the convenience of both a gas station as well as a McDonalds next door made finding what we needed to hit the road...
