Rapid City has a jewel that most locals know about — just check out the reviews — most of them are 4 star or higher. While a fun summer attraction to take the little ones to, it is right after Thanksgiving when Storybook Island transforms into a winter wonderland.

The 15th annual Storybook Christmas is in full swing at Storybook Island. The exhibits are decorated with thousands of lights– it almost becomes another attraction entirely. The best part is watching all the little kids zip in and out among the characters, excited that their favorite summer destination now sparkles and shines.

The train still runs as the “Christmas Express” and rides are only $1.  Hot Cider and Cocoa are available as well as cookies, and the Jolly Elf himself will be there!

Days left to view lights until Christmas….
