About The Journey Museum

Located in the stunning Black Hills of South Dakota, The Journey Museum spans 7 acres, and features exhibits on not only the fascinating history of the Black Hills, but also Native American culture too!

As soon as you step in the doors you are taken on a journey through history, real stories, cultures, and heritage.

Enter the Star Room and you are in complete darkness, but then you open your eyes and your ears to the scientific and cultural perspectives on the beginning of time - sounds pretty amazing to us!

Kids can venture into the earth's crust and see the many rock layers that form our planet, right beneath our feet, and kids can even enjoy hands-on fun as they touch and feel the very rocks and gems found right in the Black Hills region!

Love dinosaurs? Of course you do, which is why you'll love to hear that The Journey Museum allows you to dig up dinosaur bones, AND see a working fossil lab in the Paleontology Field Tent!

See pieces of history right in front of your eyes with real arrowheads from thousands of years ago (just imagine who were the people that made and used them), and even jump into an archaeological dig pit!

The learning and fun continues as you marvel at the intricate beadwork of the indigenous peoples, and even step inside a real tipi.

You're in South Dakota, so traveling back through time to see the demise of Wild Bill in Deadwood is a must, and even walk the boardwalk and check out the general store - just like it looked in pioneer times!

There is so much more to see and experience at The Journey Museum, but we'll keep that a secret for when you arrive - but if the above is anything to go on, you know that it will be a fascinating journey through history!
