One of our favorite stops during our trip out west! What an interesting, rare site this is. The film was so informative and we could not believe the site once we proceeded there after the film.Full review by Sherpa62840354049

One day will cover it all. At Mammoth site there is a video, active dig with phone or print tour, ice age exhibit, gift shop, A twelve year old boy should love the kid's dig. Evans plunge is an indoor and outdoor naturally warm pool with water slides, swing rings and basketball. Also hot tub, sauna, steam room, and snack bar. The rings and slides don't open until 10:00, but the rest of the pool is available earlier. I also recommend for a 12 year old boy Cascade Falls Park: a few miles outside Hot Springs for hiking and swimming.

If you have adults interested in archaeology, dinosaurs or just science in general they would enjoy the museum site. The Mammoth site IS south of much of the other tourist sites in SD. If you are going to do the Wind or Jewel caves they are on the way to or from the Mammoth site.
