Rapid City is where history and art come alive! Its downtown area is full of character, scattered with life-size bronze statues of past presidents of the USA. As tourists walk by Art Alley, they’d be amazed by the brilliant graffiti that artists can apply for permits to draw. The excitement continues at Main Street Square, a public space that occasionally hosts live music events. Grab a craft brew at Independent Ale House or Firehouse Brewing Company as you dance the night away. Since the city is surrounded by nature, visitors can even take day trips to Custer State Park, Badlands National Park and the Black Hills. Better still, you won’t have to leave out your fur babies on the vacation with the pet-friendly rentals in the area!
