Cute and touristy stop.

Can be mobbed in the summer months.
In a nutshell
Honestly? I didnt mind the stop. I enjoyed walking around after being in the car for 8 hours, and everyone I encountered was friendly.
Toughluck Says: The 'badlands'! They claim that until these badlands became known around the world, there was no consistent name for this type of landscape. Now, there are badlands in North Dakota and Alberta (Canada), as well as Turkey.Go to my Badlands National Park%l page
Minuteman Missle National Historic Park
Toughluck Says: The ICBM program was one of three programs to counter a Soviet threat during the Cold War Years of (1946-1995). All three programs continue, but the START Treaty of 1995 (?) called for the elimination of many delivery vehicles. As a part of the treaty, each nation was allows...
apbeaches Says: After 100 miles of road signs we were happy to get to Wall Drugs. It was a fun, silly stop between attractions for lunch, a maze of gift shops with everything from western wear & gear, toys, home goods, tee shirts, magnets, yes a pharmacy and free ice water.
DSwede Says: Due to the simple word of mouth advertising, the bumper stickers and road-side billboards for hundreds of miles, Wall Drug became popular with almost sort of a cult following.As time went, many people started sending their photos from all corners of the world, all with a...
vincentf Says: If you're on the I-90 between Rapid City and Badlands National Park, you will go through Wall. Wall Drug Store is the biggest drug store in the world and even offers free ice water!
Sagespot Says: This avearge wax museum has over 50 life-size figures, including James Gang, Wild Bill, Annie Oakley, Sitting Bull and Wyatt Earp which are displayed in scenes that depict life as it was in the late 1800's to the early 1900's.The wax figures are not the best, but not the...
Sagespot Says: As you enter South Dakota you will probably notice the increase in Wall Drug signs. For those of us who have traveled much of the world - you can find these signs at the far reaches of the globe, from Tahiti to China. Wall Drug is a staple of the South Dakota tourism...
Sagespot Says: Highway 240 south from Wall is the Western entrance to the Badlands National Park Scenic Loop. This road takes you through Interior and put you out again at Kadoka on I-90.This road is a WONDERFUL trip! There are many scenic overlooks, its an easy drive, and wildlife...

Cactus Cafe & Lounge: Salad Bar
apbeaches Says: It was nice to find a salad bar; there was a nice selection of fresh veggies and prepared salads. The lunch buffet was $8.99 and we were one of the few weighing under 300 lbs. The regular, pepperoni, mushroom & also sausage pizza was a nice change but not inspiring. There...
jluv41 Says: The real treat in Wall are the Wall Drug Donuts which are made fresh daily. A must stop for any trip across the state of South Dakota. Also free ice water! Yeah!
Mocha Moose: Best Coffee Around
Sagespot Says: A cute little place near Wall Drug that offers coffee type drinks, ice cream, and a few treats. Very comfortable atmosphere with great service! The iced coffee was simply a dream while I was there - it was the perfect thing needed to walk around the extensive grounds of...
DesertRat Says: Getting around Wall's no problem. You can walk. But getting to it, you'd better have a car. There are at most two Jackrabbit Lines buses that stop here each day on runs between Rapid City and Sioux Falls, but the schedules are lousy, and you'll have to be prepared to stay...
Buffalo Gift Shop: Cheaper T-shirts
Sagespot Says: This medium sized store just up the street from Wall Drug has cheaper prices than the drugstore. T-shirts are touted on the store windows as being reasonably priced at USD9.99. This is a much better deal than at the Wall Drug stores.They had a great selection and were of...
Wall Drug: The Infamous Drug Store
Sagespot Says: Wall Drug has been featured on many magazine covers and television shows throught the years. You can find signs pointing the way and noting the distance to the drugstore everywhere from China to Tahiti. It has become an American icon. I found reasonable prices for Black...
DesertRat Says: If you can time it right, try to be in Wall on the 10th of July, which is an annual event that only peripherally has anything to do with the local tourist trade. This is an authentic SD celebration with a parade that starts about 10:00 a.m., a "carnival" (a roving fun fair),...
truffy1024 Says: The signs go on for miles but don't stop! Wall Drugs is a drugstore made into a mall. There are multiple stores within the store selling everything from cheap toys to Indian moccasins to tourist t-shirts. The only thing they want is your money. Eat at the restaurant and...
Wall Drug, a monument to high American kitsch
DesertRat Says: On one level Wall Drug in the tiny town of Wall, SD, on the edge of Badlands National Park is a tourist trap, what with its Six Foot Rabbit (actually a stuffed burro), the tacky Cowboy Orchestra and Chuck Wagon Quartet (glassed-in tableaux with animated, life-size statues).....
Wall DrugI can't judge Wall...
WFTR Says: Wall DrugI can't judge Wall Drug harshly enough to call it a tourist trap, and I don't want to elevate it to the status of 'must see.' It's hardly 'Off the Beaten Path' because it has put Wall, South Dakota on the map, but I think this category is best for it. Wall Drug may...
Ice : Give it and They Will Come
DSwede Says: Any person who visits Wall will be amazed by its size (nearly two blocks). Most visitors will remember that they give out free ice water, but few know why. The history goes that when Wall Drug was first started in the rural area business was hard, particularly in the...
BLSM Says: Lots of soveniers, western stuff and Western scenes. Also a soda fountain. Not really a drug store any more. These picture were taken in late Sept after the tourist season was officially over. During the summer you have to hunt to find a parking place.The main enterance is...

If you are on your way to Rushmore about to pass through the Badlands, you have to go to Wall Drug. There are so many signs, you have to go, just to see if it is worth all the advertising.

Wall-How many miles away are you?
Wall, SD has always been a stop for us whenever we have been in the area as I was growing up. The main reason for going was of course Wall Drug but the town is a nice little community in itself....

Wall is a little town on I-90 with a big marketing budget. For miles along the interstate in both directions, one can see signs advertising the famous Wall Drug. I'm sure that it can be a madhouse in...
