Gas up with the goats at the Conoco gas station. Sheriff Doc and his buddies are eager to greet you at the pump! They may just try and convince you to get them a snack from the feed dispenser, for only 25 cents.

The 1880 Town is a perfect place to grab fresh snacks, fuel, souvenirs, and drinks on your way to the Black Hills. New this summer is fresh bean to cup coffee, slushies, ice cold fountain drinks and grab and go food.

South Dakota's Original 1880 Town has more than 30 buildings from the 1880 to 1920 era, authentically furnished with thousands of relics and more!

We have been saddened by the tragic fire at Reptile Gardens. Our thoughts and prayers are with the staff and Brockelsby family. Reptile Gardens has been an iconic family attraction in South Dakota for decades. We will continue to keep them in our prayers as they navigate this tragic event. 🙏🏻❤️
