Here are the steps we are taking everyday, including in these videos: 😷Masks and face coverings. We wear these anytime we are near others outside and especially indoors. If we don’t have a mask on in a video, it’s 99% because there was no one around. ⏰ Exploring early. We normally start at sunrise anyway because of less crowds, but especially so with COVID. We have been starting our days before sunlight so we can limit our interactions. 🧼 Washing and sanitizing our hands, especially after touching anything outside of the van. 🚐 Being in the van 95% of the time when we’re not filming. The adventures we share are a small sliver of our lives. We are staying in the van all day everyday when working and the only time we leave is to do laundry, get gas, or go to the store. 6️⃣ Keeping our distance. We are trying to stay at least 6 ft from others, which truthfully isn’t always possible (and then we make sure we cover our face).
Currently a doctoral student from Sioux Falls living in Texas... came for the nostalgia, but stayed for the warm friendly cast! Very well done! The people of Sioux Falls will be proud when they see this!
Falls Park is really cool in the winter time when it’s covered in snow and when it’s so cold at the falls freeze. I moved to South Dakota five years ago and I love it here
Sioux Falls is the hidden gem of the Midwest. My company (Dakota Tech inc.) stays very busy helping people & businesses troubleshoot technology issues here. Sioux Falls is rated #1 in the nation to set up both a business or trust. The city has massive potential for growth in the next few decades. We have 2 massive hospitals headquartered here as well as an Amazon city. Exciting stuff!
They light the Falls up at Christmas I make sure and drive through like five times a year. You can tune your radio to the right station and the music is synced to the lights! It is amazing!!
I’m not sure how you managed to hide that we all drive buffalo to and from work, and all work on hand crank power! I kid but that’s what my NYC friends all thought South Dakota was like
Adventures of A plus K seems to be common to believe that the central column on the lower 48 are all still the Wild West! Though I am surprised that Texas gets them as well, at least considering some cities in Texas rival South Dakota in population last I knew!
As a Sioux Falls native and a foodie, I'm so happy you went to CH Patisserie and Bread and Circus. They are great representations of the good SuFu has to offer.
Hey that’s my state! Fun fact: the Lewis store on the corner of Phillips downtown used to be a really cool store when the place fell down and they had to rebuild it. One person died in the process but when that happened there was a story of a dog that saved there owner when it went down!
When I was in the Army and told people I was from South Dakota... They assumed I was some farm hick from the middle of no-where, and there was nothing in SD but cornfields and dirt roads... But its with the help of people like you and the internet, that the misinformation about this great state I grew up in, and eventually (after almost 30 years in the military and working for the government) came back to, and again call my home... There is a lot more to SD that you didn't get to... but I can't fault you for not being here during Pheasant Season... Or missing our (Kinda brutal) winters... But hey... -40 degrees keeps the riff-raff out!!! I enjoyed your views of my home... Safe travels!!
Thank you so much Greg, this means a lot coming from a local! Changing people’s perception of underrated states is one of our favorite things to do. South Dakota is so beautiful and full of so many things to do and we’re so happy to share it! We are not sad we missed winter though lol! We’re a bunch of wimps from Texas 😜
This was a great series! I live in Sioux Falls but haven’t been out to the Black Hills since I was a kid. You’ve inspired me to get back out there and explore my home state.
Thank you for showing everyone how great Sioux Falls is!!! South Dakota is truly a beautiful place and you always hear how surprised everyone is once they see it first hand. I'll be moving here soon for good!
I'm grew up in Sioux Falls and now live in OKC. My great great grandfather was the architect who designed the old courthouse, state penitentiary, and many other buildings. Thank you for bringing me a piece of home :)
Thanks for stopping through and making an excellent video to showcase what most people would consider a fly over state/city. Lived here my whole life and wouldn’t chose to live anywhere else.
During the winter they have lights that light up the water falls in the park, with all the snow and Christmas decorations they put up it looks amazing and really brings you into the holidays spirit. I love going every year to see the lights.
My wife and I just got back to MN from our first visit to Sioux Falls and South Dakota. Went to every place you guys featured and then branched out to other attractions. Enjoyed everything about the trip. OMG the people are so nice there! Thank you so much for your fantastic video!
@@AdventuresofAplusK We really enjoyed the scene around Phillips Ave. So many great restaurants and bars plus lots of cool shops. We honestly did not have a bad experience on the trip!
i have lived in sioux falls all my life, when i tell others im from south dakota they we live in teepees or on farms thank you for showing people our beautiful city
Hey guys, great job of covering South Dakota and especially Sioux Falls. As you've mentioned in several of your videos, the general impression of plains states is that there's not much to see. Wonderful job of putting the record straight. Thanks for partnering with SD Tourism. Like how you sometimes team with tourist organizations and do an area in depth. Appreciate how it helps keep you on the road!
We’ve loved exploring the plains states and proving people wrong about them. There is so much to offer! We were so happy and lucky to work with the state tourism board! Those are our ideal partnerships and we’re always pumped when those come together!
@@TheHistoryUndergroundI'm a local! Wind Cave is going on season 3 of being closed due to a downed elevator in the shaft. Not sure when it will reopen but Rushmore Cave is a beautiful cave to tour!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I have lived here my whole life and I loved the winter as a kid but once I started driving I realized why adults didn't like it as much lol.
All the food and drinks look delicious and the falls looked beautiful and amazing views. that is cool that the statues change. you guys had a great trip. thank you so much for sharing. take care my friend
In 2008 on a trip to Minnesota our car broke down and we had to stay over night in Sioux Falls. I fell in love with the city. I was reminiscing about it and that is what lead me to this video. So glad I watched it. I hope I can make it back there again some day, but for longer than 1 night.
I appreciate you showing the things you can do in my home town of Sioux Falls. So many wrong perceptions about our state are out there, so thank you for showing everyone what you can do in SD ❤️ Downtown Sioux Falls is the best, and the falls, too, my favorite spots!
Waking up to a new AOA+K is the best way to start my day. Sioux Falls looks cool and adds to my interest in exploring South Dakota. Thanks again for sharing your adventure in this beautiful state. Can't wait to see where you all pop up next. Rest well and much love
Loved these videos! I have lived in South Dakota my whole life and you showed a few things that I didn't even know about. I am going to share your series with my SD teacher friends to use with 4th graders who learn about SD history for Social Studies. Amazing work covering our state so thank you!
I ALWAYS HIGH FIVE THE BEAR SCULPTURE TOO! Its so cool seeing Sioux Falls from a tourist perspective. I've never even been to the source or bread and circus, but I LOVE ch patisserie
Hi guys I actually live in Sioux Falls it’s great to see you came !! Also falls park the falls are higher during certain points in the year that was at somewhat of a low point ! The falls also decorate for the holidays too !
Before our visit, those are the two big things we wanted to see, but we were blown away by how much more there was! Custer State Park, that place was a dream! 😍
Thank you for exploring and sharing my state!!! As a state that gets little to no recognition it’s really cool to see it acknowledged and an outside perspective!
Will be leaving on our own road trip from California to Illinois.in about 10 days. Many of the sites you shared on your vlog we have added to our travels and will make a great adventure. Thank you for sharing all of the fun points of interest through out South Dakota
We are just finishing our South Dakota trip, and your videos were such a great help! Awesome content, and you 2 are so adorable and pleasant to listen to.
This is what I've been waiting for. I was born and grew up in Sioux Falls. When I was a teenager we could crawl around in those ruins of the Queen Bee Mill. There were some tunnels that would go back like 20 feet or more. The tower at the falls and the Arc of Dreams were all built after I moved away. I've been to the tower since, but I've never seen that Arc, how cool, you've shown me something new about my hometown.
Wow, that is so cool! It has been so fun hearing from current or former locals in South Dakota about their memories and favorite spots in the places we have been.
Come back and visit the Washington Pavilion, Great Bear, EROS, McKennan Park, Terrace Park, and The Alibi! I’m so glad you went to the Patisserie- yum! Thank you for coming and for such nice things to say about our state!
Loved your trip across SD! My husband and I are retired and love to do road trips. I grew up in WA and my husband moved there in his Freshman year of high school, so we are high school sweethearts. Anyway, my "home" is WA but we now live in NE and have taken a more than a couple of trips to SD, my husbands home growing up. Love the badlands and Custer etc....... You two are so cute and wishing we could go back in time and be young enough again to do all the hiking that you two do and discovering how beautiful OUR country is! We are retired military so have been around a bit ourselves, wouldn't change a thing but do love to live vicariously through your travels. Thank you and keep up the good work taking me hikes!!
High school sweethearts? That is amazing! We lived in Washington for 3 years and it has our heart. We love it there so much! Thank you so much for watching and virtually hiking and exploring with us! The US has so many incredible spots to explore and we cannot wait to share more!
You guys did a great job in my state! And especially my city Sioux Falls. We love it here and is a great place to raise a family! I love watching your guys videos!! Thank you for such a great South Dakota series! P.s. I had no clue that sculpture place was out there before you get to Sioux Falls lol so I learned some stuff too lol
wow, it surprises me watching this from a tourist POV. i love sioux falls😊 i’m from chamberlain right in the middle of the state. glad you guys got to visit !
Living in Louisiana and one year we took a trip up to South Dakota and ever since then I’ve been wanting to move up there and this video makes me want to even more...just something bout South Dakota was like home
Dang it's awesome seeing my city on a video like this. I always assumed we never get any tourists but I love the town. It's an outstanding place to raise and a family and the people in Sioux Falls are some of the best around. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I live in sioux falls and its so cool watching downtown being filmed. My friends and I walk around downtown almost every weekend so that's really cool also we have some pretty good food here 😋
What a great series and makes me excited to visit South Dakota one these days. The company I work for used to have a location in Sioux Falls and I am disappointed that I never got to travel there. Can't wait to see where both of you go next! Also, it is always great when Kona gets some airtime.
We love when she does too! It’s sometimes hard to film with her, but trying to include her as much as we can. And we’re happy we’ve gotten ya excited about SD!
As someone who has lived here my entire life, 17 years, I've realized I actually didnt even know a lot about this place and some of the great food offered downtown. I always just felt this place was really some boring place that no one really cared about besides the falls. But thank you, for actually teaching me more about my hometown and making me feel more excited to live here 💖 I hope ya'll come visit again someday!
Wow, I just ran thru your South Dakota series from last Summer. Really nice work showing all kinds of fun historic spots, quirky features and food stops in this "unique" state. I have been looking at a trip to Custer SP but there is so much more to see in the state. Thanks, and safe travels.
There is one beautiful place that you missed, it's called Devils Gulch, it's the place where Jesse James jumped across the Gulch, and it's only about 20 minutes from SF
@@AdventuresofAplusK haha good! It's absolutely beautiful and you can get at least a couple miles in if you spend enough time there, along with the big sioux rec area in Brandon!
Wow!! Sioux Falls My home town. I saw your black hills video and really liked it. I always tell my friends and family visit the falls. I never been to those restaurants maybe we will check them out. Thanks guys well done hope you guys to come visit again. Love
Thank you so much! We have been working on trying to describe food better. Since we can't ship all of y'all the food (we wish we could!), we want to at least make you feel like you're eating it with us 😄
The first time we visited Sioux Falls was in the winter months and the falls were frozen and looked dirty. But the next time we went it was beautiful! Hard to believe they are just steps from the downtown! You guys are so adventurous when it comes to your coffees! That one looked like something the Grinch would drink!
We love how close they are to town! We hear at Christmas they do a cool light show, but I am not sure winter in South Dakota is for us lol! Our favorite coffee shops are the ones with unique drinks, we love trying interesting combos!
i live in sioux falls and falls park is so beautiful you guys really need to go to falls park in christmas the waterfalls are colered green and red with lots of decorations it’s beautiful so
Thank you for visiting SD! I really enjoy your vlogs! You have shown me things about my own state that I didn't know. Gotta check them out now. I recently discovered your vlogs and plan to check out all of your previous travels. I can't wait to see where you go next! Stay safe and healthy!
You picked some great local places! I work in Sioux Falls and live close by. Bread and Circus is A+. They have nice outdoor seating, but we are starting to get into snow season. Sioux Falls does have some nice spots to go. Hope you enjoyed your visit!
Wow, I guess this popped up in my recommended after my own South Dakota video. I spent a few days in Western SD but I really wanted to visit Sioux Falls, and this video is the next best thing!

lake henefer and me? lol
Adventures of A plus K I live in Brandon and keep up the work
How was it? I live here and have not seen very many people do this.
We loved it! Beautiful state!
@@AdventuresofAplusK it is!
I've never seen my city in such a touristy light! Maybe because I'm poor lol
I feel that exactly
Honestly same, I look at it like just a regular city! The place looks good in this video 🤣
The funny part is, I am in SD and people think we are just some poor farm people. Souix Falls is a great place to be!
Same
Same. I've always seen it as boring & ugly
So crazy seeing my city through someone else's eyes. I need to get to bread and circus!
It’s soooo good! We hope you enjoy it!
Woah! You live in SD too? Im down in Mitchell.
I’m in Sioux Falls too
I live there to
ITVXY Games I'm in Sioux falls
"It's really windy today."
Nah, that level of wind is a day that ends in y in SD.
Hah!
😂😂😂
I can verify that
So weird seeing the city I've lived in my whole life be noticed.
It’s a cool city! We are glad we stopped by!
I was shocked to see my city pop up on my RUclips feed! It’s so fun seeing it in this light
We loved getting to share it!
Currently a doctoral student from Sioux Falls living in Texas... came for the nostalgia, but stayed for the warm friendly cast! Very well done! The people of Sioux Falls will be proud when they see this!
Thank you so much Nick! We appreciate it!
Falls Park is really cool in the winter time when it’s covered in snow and when it’s so cold at the falls freeze. I moved to South Dakota five years ago and I love it here
We love frozen waterfalls and would love to see that!
@@AdventuresofAplusK theirs “winter wonderland” at falls park
That’s what we have heard! Sounds cool!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Yeah there is a lot of cool Christmas lights
yes! I love it in the Christmas time because they do all those awesome lights!!
Sioux Falls is the hidden gem of the Midwest. My company (Dakota Tech inc.) stays very busy helping people & businesses troubleshoot technology issues here.
Sioux Falls is rated #1 in the nation to set up both a business or trust. The city has massive potential for growth in the next few decades. We have 2 massive hospitals headquartered here as well as an Amazon city. Exciting stuff!
They light the Falls up at Christmas I make sure and drive through like five times a year. You can tune your radio to the right station and the music is synced to the lights! It is amazing!!
That sounds SO magical! 😍😍
I’m not sure how you managed to hide that we all drive buffalo to and from work, and all work on hand crank power! I kid but that’s what my NYC friends all thought South Dakota was like
Hahahah I got similar comments growing up in Texas from my Midwest cousins 😜
Adventures of A plus K seems to be common to believe that the central column on the lower 48 are all still the Wild West! Though I am surprised that Texas gets them as well, at least considering some cities in Texas rival South Dakota in population last I knew!
It’s so funny the perceptions people have of other states lol!
some people from tennessee thought we rode buffalo to schooo HAHA
As a Sioux Falls native and a foodie, I'm so happy you went to CH Patisserie and Bread and Circus. They are great representations of the good SuFu has to offer.
Sweet! Glad we picked good ones! It’s always hard to decide, but those spots really jumped out at us!
Don’t forget getting Chislic at any locally owned restaurant in the area. Blarney Stone and Barrel House are truly my favorites
Hey that’s my state! Fun fact: the Lewis store on the corner of Phillips downtown used to be a really cool store when the place fell down and they had to rebuild it. One person died in the process but when that happened there was a story of a dog that saved there owner when it went down!
Oh wow! Dogs are the BEST!!!
Oh ya I think I remember hearing that I’m pretty sure the dogs name was teddy he is so cute!
Have they finished that place yet? I feel like it fell down three years ago or something and is still just a construction site but maybe I’m crazy
my mom drives past that place every day to get to work 👁👄👁
There was a lady in the apartment and she was on her bed when the building tumbled
Oh how this makes me feel like I take the beauty for granted of the city I spend every day in!
We believe there is beauty and fun anywhere and we loved Sioux Falls!
When I was in the Army and told people I was from South Dakota... They assumed I was some farm hick from the middle of no-where, and there was nothing in SD but cornfields and dirt roads...
But its with the help of people like you and the internet, that the misinformation about this great state I grew up in, and eventually (after almost 30 years in the military and working for the government) came back to, and again call my home...
There is a lot more to SD that you didn't get to... but I can't fault you for not being here during Pheasant Season... Or missing our (Kinda brutal) winters... But hey... -40 degrees keeps the riff-raff out!!!
I enjoyed your views of my home...
Safe travels!!

Yah!! As a life long South Dakotan, we thank you!! We love our great state!!!
We love it too! So happy we were able to visit!
Kudos on an awesome job! Love how you guys showed my home state & Sioux Falls! Specially the falls the namesake of our city!
Thanks and thank you for watching!
I am glad you got the mascot of downtown Sioux Falls sound in the background. The trains are constant in downtown Sioux Falls.
Hahahaha we definitely heard a lot!
That’s because Sioux Falls was founded to be a good middle city for the rail road!
@@AdventuresofAplusK yeah it sucks.
Truth!🤣🤣
This was a great series! I live in Sioux Falls but haven’t been out to the Black Hills since I was a kid. You’ve inspired me to get back out there and explore my home state.
Yay! We are so glad to inspire you to go out there! We loved the entire state so much ❤
Thank you for showing everyone how great Sioux Falls is!!! South Dakota is truly a beautiful place and you always hear how surprised everyone is once they see it first hand. I'll be moving here soon for good!
We really really loved the state! Sooo many gems and we had no idea for most of our lives!

I live here in Sioux Falls but I barely go out, you’re video inspired me to go out more and enjoy it
We are so happy to hear that! 🙌🏼
Holy cow! It is crazy to see someone else travel to my state and city! Sioux Falls gang!
🙌🏼🎉
Thanks for sharing my state. I was waiting for this blog to go out to see what part of my town you will show. Your last stop. Love my town.
It’s a great place! We have loved getting to share your state! ❤️
Thank you! And enjoy your next adventure in another state.
During the winter they have lights that light up the water falls in the park, with all the snow and Christmas decorations they put up it looks amazing and really brings you into the holidays spirit. I love going every year to see the lights.
That sounds so magical!
@@AdventuresofAplusK It really is!
So happy you're having fun ☺ 💓
Because you made this video, I will definitely visit South Dakota. I didn't know they had such cool stuff!!!!
Woo! Mission accomplished! 🙌

So glad you enjoyed it! What are you most excited to see when you go back?
@@AdventuresofAplusK - Wind Cave was closed down when I was there, so that would be nice to see. And I missed the Needles Highway too.
We will need to go back to see the cave too! And the needles highway is a must! 😍
Agreed!! We avoided Rapid City and Sioux Falls due to COVID but now I want to go back again
@@TheHistoryUndergroundI'm a local! Wind Cave is going on season 3 of being closed due to a downed elevator in the shaft. Not sure when it will reopen but Rushmore Cave is a beautiful cave to tour!
Great place to live to but the winter will catch you off guard!
I bet!

Looks like another outstanding location to add to my list. Thanks for sharing!
Woo! We’re sorry for making the list longer, but are excited you want to visit Sioux Falls! 🤗
I live in Sioux Falls & have never known how much more there is to my town!!!❤️❤️
We are so happy we could give you some new spots to check out!
They have light shows by the falls during the summer! Super cool!
That would be awesome to see!
Sioux falls is a wonderful place I love it here and I will love here for the rest of my life
It is a great city!
Seeing the Ark of a Dreams at night has been on my list for years, finally get to see it this summer!
Very cool!
I’m from Sioux Falls it’s crazy seeing how ppl react to the city I live in
The best city in America. Thanks for coming!
Of course! We had a great time!
I moved to South Dakota over a year ago and I love it here. Went to the black hills and it’s so beautiful there. Also, love Wahl as well!!
It’s such a gorgeous state! 😍
I appreciate you showing the things you can do in my home town of Sioux Falls. So many wrong perceptions about our state are out there, so thank you for showing everyone what you can do in SD ❤️ Downtown Sioux Falls is the best, and the falls, too, my favorite spots!

Excited to share our next destination sometime next week! 🤗

Hahahah the bear statue is so fun! And we highly recommend both of those spots. That sandwich was 💣!
Hey thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your travels! Cheers!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi guys I actually live in Sioux Falls it’s great to see you came !! Also falls park the falls are higher during certain points in the year that was at somewhat of a low point ! The falls also decorate for the holidays too !
That’s crazy that was considered low! And we have heard that the holidays are magical!
Thanks for the South Dakota vlogs! I always wanted to see Mount Rushmore and the Badlands but you showed me there's so much more to see. Thanks!
Before our visit, those are the two big things we wanted to see, but we were blown away by how much more there was! Custer State Park, that place was a dream! 😍
I have lived in Sioux Falls my whole life. SoDak is an amazing state filled with amazing people! :)
We couldn’t agree more!
Thank you for exploring and sharing my state!!! As a state that gets little to no recognition it’s really cool to see it acknowledged and an outside perspective!
Of course! We really loved it and think it deserves a lot of love!
Great preview of Sioux Falls. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out, I need to checkout those places you ate at, looks delicious!
Thank you! And yes you totally should. They were amazing!
Will be leaving on our own road trip from California to Illinois.in about 10 days. Many of the sites you shared on your vlog we have added to our travels and will make a great adventure. Thank you for sharing all of the fun points of interest through out South Dakota

@@wiengo509 Yes, they really turned the Falls park into a destination. It was getting bad in the early 90's.
Wow, that is so cool! It has been so fun hearing from current or former locals in South Dakota about their memories and favorite spots in the places we have been.
I would've loved to crawl in those! Adam, maybe not so much lol!
Come back and visit the Washington Pavilion, Great Bear, EROS, McKennan Park, Terrace Park, and The Alibi! I’m so glad you went to the Patisserie- yum! Thank you for coming and for such nice things to say about our state!
Thank you so much for all of the tips! We loved South Dakota!
Thank you for sharing my hometown I’ve been living here for 24 years and I will never leave❤️😁
Of course! 🤗🤗
Loved your trip across SD! My husband and I are retired and love to do road trips. I grew up in WA and my husband moved there in his Freshman year of high school, so we are high school sweethearts. Anyway, my "home" is WA but we now live in NE and have taken a more than a couple of trips to SD, my husbands home growing up. Love the badlands and Custer etc....... You two are so cute and wishing we could go back in time and be young enough again to do all the hiking that you two do and discovering how beautiful OUR country is! We are retired military so have been around a bit ourselves, wouldn't change a thing but do love to live vicariously through your travels. Thank you and keep up the good work taking me hikes!!
High school sweethearts? That is amazing! We lived in Washington for 3 years and it has our heart. We love it there so much! Thank you so much for watching and virtually hiking and exploring with us! The US has so many incredible spots to explore and we cannot wait to share more!
I lived in Brandon, SD -- right near Sioux Falls -- until I was 9. Eons ago. I would love to go visit.
This is an beautiful country with beautiful people
You guys did a great job in my state! And especially my city Sioux Falls. We love it here and is a great place to raise a family! I love watching your guys videos!! Thank you for such a great South Dakota series! P.s. I had no clue that sculpture place was out there before you get to Sioux Falls lol so I learned some stuff too lol
Thank you so much Lindsey! So happy you enjoyed the series and that we could show you something new! 🙌
wow, it surprises me watching this from a tourist POV. i love sioux falls😊 i’m from chamberlain right in the middle of the state. glad you guys got to visit !
Your area was pretty cool too! We visited the dignity statue the day before this, which was beautiful!
Living in Louisiana and one year we took a trip up to South Dakota and ever since then I’ve been wanting to move up there and this video makes me want to even more...just something bout South Dakota was like home
That is so awesome! We hope you can make it happen!
@@AdventuresofAplusK thank you !
Loved traveling this area! Looks like you had a fantastic time and beautiful weather. I have to agree with the treats, I would have wanted 20 also 😆
Lol! We could've eaten SO many! But our wallet would not have loved that 😂
As always we enjoy watching your videos, specially South Dakota series.
Thank you so much!
I grew up about an hour from SF and now my brother lives there. My son is going to SE Technical college there. Love that City so much to do and see!
That is awesome! What are your favorite things to do?
Dang it's awesome seeing my city on a video like this. I always assumed we never get any tourists but I love the town. It's an outstanding place to raise and a family and the people in Sioux Falls are some of the best around. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
We are so glad you enjoyed seeing us tourists in your city! We had a great time and it was such an amazing surprise!
I love your channel, it feels so genuine, informative, and calming
We really appreciate that. Thank you!
I live in sioux falls and its so cool watching downtown being filmed. My friends and I walk around downtown almost every weekend so that's really cool also we have some pretty good food here 😋
What is your favorite restaurant?
What a great series and makes me excited to visit South Dakota one these days. The company I work for used to have a location in Sioux Falls and I am disappointed that I never got to travel there. Can't wait to see where both of you go next! Also, it is always great when Kona gets some airtime.
We love when she does too! It’s sometimes hard to film with her, but trying to include her as much as we can. And we’re happy we’ve gotten ya excited about SD!
You guys always find the cutest coffee shop. Loved the video!
We love us a cute coffee shop! Thank you so much for watching!
As someone who has lived here my entire life, 17 years, I've realized I actually didnt even know a lot about this place and some of the great food offered downtown. I always just felt this place was really some boring place that no one really cared about besides the falls. But thank you, for actually teaching me more about my hometown and making me feel more excited to live here 💖 I hope ya'll come visit again someday!
That means so much to us! We are so happy we showed you some new spots! ❤️
Omg fr. I didn’t know we had cool restaurants like this downtown. I have to go visit them now lol
Amber D. Ummmm...Sioux Falls unfortunately is very boring...
@@debbiethorson7772 No one asked for your opinion 😗
Lol...I’ve lived here most of my life, prove me wrong !
Wow, I just ran thru your South Dakota series from last Summer. Really nice work showing all kinds of fun historic spots, quirky features and food stops in this "unique" state. I have been looking at a trip to Custer SP but there is so much more to see in the state. Thanks, and safe travels.
Thank you so much! We had such a great time out there! Custer state park was our favorite, so we highly suggest going there 😍
Can't figure out why my mouth is watering! H-m-m-m, wonder why? Awesome video again, you guys!
Hahaha this meal was droolworthy! 🤤
There is one beautiful place that you missed, it's called Devils Gulch, it's the place where Jesse James jumped across the Gulch, and it's only about 20 minutes from SF
We have been hearing so much about Devils Gulch! It’s high on the list for next time!
@@AdventuresofAplusK haha good! It's absolutely beautiful and you can get at least a couple miles in if you spend enough time there, along with the big sioux rec area in Brandon!
Sweet! We can't wait!
Don't forget the Palisades just a few miles away from Devil's Gulch, some nice trails next to the river, and actually some decent rock climbing!
I remember going there, its so beautiful :)
Thanks for visiting the city I love. Im happy you enjoyed aSioux falls
Of course! 😃😃
Wow all the food and treats looked so delicious. Take care on the road.
Thank you Wendy! 🤗
Wow!! Sioux Falls My home town. I saw your black hills video and really liked it. I always tell my friends and family visit the falls. I never been to those restaurants maybe we will check them out. Thanks guys well done hope you guys to come visit again. Love
Glad you enjoyed it! We had a great time in South Dakota!
This is awesome!! Thanks for the video of this city! Definitely a good place to live!
Absolutely! We are so glad we were able to visit!
We were visiting Sioux Falls the same week you uploaded this video. We loved it!
And those macaroons were amazing!
Ah yay! So glad you enjoyed it and loved those macaroons too! 🙌🏼😋
Love your food reviews, such detail!
Thank you so much! We have been working on trying to describe food better. Since we can't ship all of y'all the food (we wish we could!), we want to at least make you feel like you're eating it with us 😄
The first time we visited Sioux Falls was in the winter months and the falls were frozen and looked dirty. But the next time we went it was beautiful! Hard to believe they are just steps from the downtown! You guys are so adventurous when it comes to your coffees! That one looked like something the Grinch would drink!
We love how close they are to town! We hear at Christmas they do a cool light show, but I am not sure winter in South Dakota is for us lol! Our favorite coffee shops are the ones with unique drinks, we love trying interesting combos!
Thanks for another great video! It made me laugh, when you’re from Texas you don’t say Macarons you say macaroons LOL. Looking forward to more videos😀
Lol! Macaroons is 100% how we have been saying it! 🤣
@@AdventuresofAplusK me too! I think everyone else MUST be wrong LOL
Cool to see you guys come through here. Glad you enjoyed the experience.
It’s a great city, we really enjoyed it!
i live in sioux falls and falls park is so beautiful you guys really need to go to falls park in christmas the waterfalls are colered green and red with lots of decorations it’s beautiful so
We hear it’s beautiful then! Not sure if the winter climate is for us though haha!
Beautiful description! It's reassuring as I'm traveling there tomorrow and will use your vlog as a guide. Thanks for sharing.
We hope you have a great time!
I found your channel after searching for info on S. Dak. You both do a great job of taking everyone along your adventures. Stay safe and have fun.
Thank you so much Kim! We are so glad you found us!
Thank you for visiting SD! I really enjoy your vlogs! You have shown me things about my own state that I didn't know. Gotta check them out now. I recently discovered your vlogs and plan to check out all of your previous travels. I can't wait to see where you go next! Stay safe and healthy!
Thank you so much Jerome! We are so glad to show you some new spots. 🤗🤗
Always enjoy watching your videos. Hopefully one day I'll share your real life adventures
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for such a beautiful insider of our home 💖
Of course!
Thanks for touring my state! Glad you had a wonderful time here
Thank you so much for watching Ryan! We can’t wait to come back!
@@AdventuresofAplusK you're welcome!
You picked some great local places! I work in Sioux Falls and live close by. Bread and Circus is A+. They have nice outdoor seating, but we are starting to get into snow season. Sioux Falls does have some nice spots to go. Hope you enjoyed your visit!
We had a great time! Lots of cool spots in town!
Wow, I guess this popped up in my recommended after my own South Dakota video. I spent a few days in Western SD but I really wanted to visit Sioux Falls, and this video is the next best thing!
It was a cool town! A lot different than the west, but we loved the food and cool coffee shops and parks!
Great job. We’ve been to Sioux Falls and really enjoyed it.
We’re glad you enjoyed it there too! 😄
Moving there next month! You guys rock! Keep the vids coming!!!
We hope you enjoy it! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Being from south dakota i appreciate the recognition of my home state ❤
You have a great state!
I love that you made it to Falls Park. Glad you mentioned Shoshone Falls (sp?) as I’ve never been to that.
Nailed it on the spelling! 👍 Shoshone Falls is incredible, highly recommend it (and Idaho as a whole)!
