 With each trip across South Dakota we have enjoyed seeing the signs for Wall Drug Store.  We finally decided we just had to stop and see what it was about....and it was worth it.  Wall Drug Store is a block long old-style drug store mall with an amazing variety of little stores.  From cowboy boots to homemade fudge, you will find it at Wall Drug Store.  Besides that, there are plenty of photo opportunity props, such as the big jackelope that kids can climb up on or the old stagecoach.  Don't miss the animated, roaring T-Rex that 'erupts' about every 10 minutes.   If you have seen the signs, you know that Wall Drug advertises free drinking water (in fact, that is what put Wall Drug on the map back in the Great Depression).  They still offer the free water in special free Wall Drug water paper cups.   Restrooms are conveniently located in both the front and back buildings.

 FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS-   It's FREE!  Amazing shopping variety and lots of fun props to take photos with.  The kids loved the free water in the free water cups (somehow free water at Wall is much more entertaining than free water anywhere else!). 
 FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS-   Parking is packed.  Don't be surprised if you have to drive around if you want to be able to park close-by.
