Winter activities abound! Sioux Falls offers a large mix of both outdoor and indoor activities for people of all ages to enjoy during the winter season.

Hit the Slopes

Make plans to skate around the rink this winter. Sioux Falls offers several ice-skating opportunities during the winter season at McKennan Park, Tuthill Park, Sherman Park, Memorial Park, and more. See all outdoor ice rinks.
