Great gift shop! Found several Christmas gifts. Wonderful exhibits! Enjoyed the cross-stitch, handmade lace and quilt exhibit. A jewel on Aberdeens downtown Main Street.

Loved the Apollo 13 & moon exhibit. Thank you for sharing it. It was awesome. I do enjoy going to this museum and seeing all the other exhibits. Very nice place to visit. Staff are friendly and helpful.

A friend of mine from Indianapolis joined me on a self-guided tour of the museum. His Summed up our visit by stating “ This is not a museum to display antiques, this is about people! Local people making history and keeping that history alive!” He went on to say “...and the gallery of local artists and their paintings is amazing!” I couldn’t agree more.

Very friendly staff and fun exhibits!

My kids absolutely loved this place!!! Lots of history!!! They have an awesome wild kingdom in there as well!!!

Very nice place to see history. The animal exhibit is my favorite

So much to do! Very impressed. Look forward to a return visit.

Fantastic place to bring kids! Exhibits are well-kept and staff are friendly. Just enough to look at to keep kids entertained!

I just love going back in History at the Museum! Every time I walk through the DPM, I learn something new! If youre looking for something to do, check out The Dacotah Prairie Museum! You wont be sorry you did!

Great museum for learning some of the history and cultures of the Dakotas. You may think you know history but the Dacotah Prairie Museum is sure to wow you with a couple of fun facts that you didnt know. Plus its free-will-offering, pay what you decide your visit is worth, so go today!

Its actually three story tall Museum quite a bit to look at neat place to check out things

Very neat and interesting. Liked that there was stuff for kids to interact and play with.

Wonderfull Museum they have a special display to honor the lunch of the Apollo 11 with the astronauts videos talking from the moon to Earth thanking the earth crew team that help them to get there, very touching after so many years.

Interesting place. Something new there every time I visit.

What fun this free museum is! We took our four young kids here for a Saturday afternoon and had a blast! We stayed until they closed and our kid still didnt want to leave! They have a room full of taxidermied animals with colorful realistic background that makes them look alive! There is a lot of interesting historical facts in exhibits. They have hands on kids rooms where kids can pretend they were living on the frontier. They have travelling exhibits that are a lot of fun as well and very kid-friendly. We have seen one on dinosaurs and one on castles. I habe taken classes here for tours and those are always well done.

Great place for kids and families!

My kids have a awesome time, every time they go. They really enjoyed digging for the dinosaur eggs. But there favorite part is as my daughter calls it the toy room on the 2nd floor. They also enjoy coloring. Everytime we go in my son pets the buffalo like its our dog at home its very cute.

My husband and I came here and enjoyed ourselves as adults so it must be great for kids.

If you have an interest in South Dakota history so good place you get some basic knowledge not a big Museum the museum itself its quite a relic not updated very often

Amazing stuff from historical snapshot of early times in the Dakotahs with a big surprise.

Great place to visit and explore! Great job!

Oh man! Did I wish to stay a little bit longer to see everything in this nice small-town museum. It is a must for those who like to view history about the Dakotas when they were the Wild West! I will return!

Fabulous place to spend an afternoon with the family.

We love the childrens interactive rooms! Very fun to walk through the room of taxidermy animals from across the globe! We can easily spend 1 to 2 hours there. Children are 10, 8, and 4, and they all love it!

Friendliest staff, with interesting history and inexpensive gifts and books

Small town museum. You call tell its struggling financially but worth a visit.

Fantastic, interactive museum for kids and adults!

My kids have a lot of fun here!

Excellent display!

Great things to look at and learn about

Prepare to stay at least an hour to look at everything!
