"Spend a summer day perusing the cute shops in downtown Watertown, SD! Kick your excursion off with some coffee at Gather to give you a boost of energy and then hit the stores. Find new clothes and accessories at Jade + Co or AMJ Style, then satisfy your sweet tooth at the Watertown Confectionery and indulge in their homemade fudge or have them grind up some fresh coffee beans for you. Close out your evening with supper at Dempseys Brewery Pub & Restaurant, a fun Irish brewery!"

"Jump into Watertown's giant waterpark, a blast for swimmers of any age and ability! We've visited a lot of aquatic centers in our day, and this one combines every feature we've seen in one place. The admission price is great for everything the Watertown Family Aquatic Center has to offer!

A couple of bonus features our kids loved:
-Tube slides, including double tubes
-A lazy river
-A giant play structure
-A beach-like sand area
-A drop slide
-Lily pads
-A giant open swimming area
-Plus ample chairs and umbrellas for shade!

The crowd was not overwhelming compared to what we're used to in a larger city. We had a great day in the sun!"
