Pet Policy

We know that your pets are a part of your family and that it is not fair to leave them in your vehicle.  That's why we welcome well-behaved pets!  All pets must be leashed.

Groups/Meetings/Bus Tours

We will set up tours for 10 or more people by appointment.  You can bring your picnic lunches and sit out by the lake in the shade of towering cottonwood, elm and ash trees, too!  Are you looking for that unique site for a special event? We have it! Our bluff overlooking Lake Mitchell is perfect for weddings, anniversaries, reunions, business events, and much more! There is a fire pit, brick grill, room for a live band and dance floor, and plenty of room for picnic tables. Indoor spaces at the Archeodome or Technology Center may also be available. We welcome bus tours - there's plenty of room in our parking lot for buses, motor homes and RVs.  We offer special pricing for group and bus tours. Call us at 605-996-5473. 

school tours

Schools can schedule tours throughout the year (please keep in mind that South Dakota’s fickle weather may keep us from getting to the Village or the Archeodome during the winter). Admission for school tours is FREE for students and teachers. This has been made possible by a grant from the Elfrieda Frank Foundation. Parents who accompany the school tours must pay the group fee in the amount of $5 each. If you are planning your tour for May, book as soon as you can because dates fill up quickly! All teachers will receive a Teachers Packet after the tour. To schedule a tour, call us at 605-996-5473 or email us at info@mitchellindianvillage.org.
