More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off Main Street with your phone in hand and the Big Sioux River’s cascade nudging the downtown rhythm — the falls dare you to look up from the screen, and the city answers with murals, statues, and unexpected corners. Wacky Walks turns that energy into a playful contest: your group rotates a King or Queen role, completes photo challenges and item hunts across the city, and racks up points while the app keeps score and a remote host is only a chat away.
