Winter activities abound! Sioux Falls offers a large mix of both outdoor and indoor activities for people of all ages to enjoy during the winter season.

### Hit the Slopes

[Great Bear](/listing/great-bear-recreation-park) is a true winter destination in Sioux Falls for both locals and visitors. Take your pick of skiing, snowboarding, or tubing; all of which provide the thrill of gliding across the snow! Tubing is a great activity for the kids. Ski and snowboard rentals are available.

 

 

  

 

 

### Go Sledding at a Park

Gear up for an afternoon of sledding at a local park such as [Tuthill](/listing/tuthill-park), [Spellerberg](/listing/spellerberg-park), and [Leaders](/listing/leaders-park). Bring your sled or buy an inexpensive one at shops such as [SCHEELS](/listing/scheels).

 

 

  

 

 

### Ice-Skating

Make plans to skate around the rink this winter. Sioux Falls offers several ice-skating opportunities during the winter season at McKennan Park, Tuthill Park, Sherman Park, Memorial Park, and more.

### Climb the Rock Wall
