Brookings

 
 

                 
  Information about Brookings:  
  Brookings is a beautiful college-town with a population  just over 18,000.  Brookings is the home of South Dakota State University, the largest university in the state.  There are many interesting sites in Brookings including several museums and parks, one of which will be host to our wedding - McCrory Gardens.

Entering Brookings from I-29 will put you on 6th Street which runs the length of the community.  You will find several restaurants on 6th Street between the Fairfield Inn and McCrory Gardens (the east side of town).

We encourage you to drive west on 6th Street to Main Avenue where you will find many interesting shops, restaurants, and bars.  We recommend the Ram Pub for dinner - an excellent steakhouse!  Recommended bars include Jim's Tap, Skinners, and Cubby's.  Skinners has a very nice beer garden outside and antique bar inside but does not serve hard liquor.  Jim's Tap serves all types of drinks and hosts a uniquely medieval theme.  Cubby's is a fun sports bar where you can also order meals - the best hamburgers in town!

Please let us know if we can provide you with any further information!
