Find an eatery that caters to every group’s vibe, from casual dining options like Firehouse Brewing Company and Que Pasa Cantina to fine dining establishments such as Everest Cuisine and Kathmandu Bistro. Plus, there are a variety of pubs and local favorites attendees can visit to eat, drink and socialize.

When it comes to attractions, don’t forget how close groups are to the iconic Mount Rushmore, the National Presidential Wax Museum and downtown sculptures of 42 former U.S. presidents. Outside the patriotic crowd-pleasers, there are many other attractions, activities and adventures available to keep your group entertained. From shopping in the city’s indoor mall (Uptown Rapid) and sightseeing Native American monuments to attending an event or exploring nearby parks — like the popular Black Hills National Forest — there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

As you can see, meeting in Rapid City has its perks. This extraordinary destination has the right mix of attributes that enable meetings to reach their full potential.
