Splash-Worthy Entertainment
Ahoy, matey! Buccaneer Bay inside Ramada Sioux Falls is no ordinary hotel pool. This indoor water park, which is open year-round, boasts a 35-foot pirate ship and multiple slides. While the little ones get wet and wild, adults can take a dip in the lap pool, unwind in one of two hot tubs or relax in a lounge chair amid faux palm trees. Once you work up an appetite, the on-site tiki bar serves tasty drinks and bites. Bonus: it’s open daily until 1 a.m.
Spacious Accommodations for Your Whole Crew
The rooms and suites at the Ramada Sioux Falls — which were all recently refurbished — include several great options for groups traveling with multiple generations of family members. Make sure everyone has their own space in a family suite with two queen beds and a separate living area with a sleeper sofa. Or opt for the two-bedroom Presidential Suite to enjoy tons of perks, including a whirlpool, a private balcony overlooking the waterpark and a dining area that seats eight guests.
Delicious Food & Drink
In addition to the tiki bar, check out the hotel’s new eatery, Boston's Pizza Restaurant & Sports Bar, where you can watch live sports while sipping blood orange margs and munching on pepperoni pizza, chicken wings and creamy spinach-and-artichoke dip. If you prefer to dine in your room, Boston’s has tons of takeout-friendly options, including burgers, wraps and salads.
Prime Location
The hotel is a quick drive away from many popular Sioux Falls attractions, including Great Plains Zoo, Falls Park and Thunder Road fun park, while Washington Pavilion is home to Broadway shows, the hands-on Kirby Science Discovery Center and a newly opened CineDome and planetarium. Walk across the street to catch a Sioux Falls Stampede hockey match at the Denny Sanford Premier Center; the arena also hosts a bevy of big-name music acts, from Paul McCartney to Jelly Roll to Metallica. Sioux Falls Stadium, home of the Sioux Falls Canaries baseball team, is just a short walk across the parking lot.
Planning an Event?
The conference facility adjacent to the waterpark, which includes the expansive Galley Ballroom, is an excellent place to host family reunions, birthday parties or conventions. To learn more, ask to connect with an event manager at the Ramada Sioux Falls.
