501 Main Street
Wall, SD

A required stop on any Badlands Visit, Wall Drug Store is appropriately located in the hamlet of Wall, South Dakota. Back in the 1930s Dorothy and Ted Hustead brought visitors to their drug store with Burma Shave-like billboards advertising free ice water. Today the operation has expanded, but this iconic drug store still attracts visitors in droves. The most recent incarnation includes everything thing from a life sized-carving of Butch Cassidy and a giant jackalope to a silver dollar bar, a shooting gallery and even a life-sized animated T-Rex. And yes they still have free ice water.

There’s accessible street parking on Main Street near 5th and 6th streets, with level access to most areas of the massive drug store. Stop by and browse, people-watch, shop or have a bite to eat. Stop at the soda fountain for a scoop of their excellent homemade ice cream, and just sit back and take it all in. There’s something there for just about everybody, and there’s truly nothing like it anywhere in South Dakota.
