History and culture buffs will be delighted by all this city has to offer with the abundance of art galleries, museums, and monuments to be found here.
Sioux City also happens to have been an important stopover for Lewis and Clark on their journey through the American West, and even pays homage to one of the fallen members of their team at the Sergeant Floyd Monument.
Visitors who are not familiar with the details of the famous expedition should head to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center to learn more about it, while the Sioux City Public Museum is another great stop for anyone interested in the general history of the area.
For those looking for a more active way to explore the surrounding locale, the Adams Homestead and State Nature Reserve is a great place for an afternoon walk or a bike ride, while Bacon Creek Park offers opportunities for fishing and bird watching.
