Playground of the Black Hills

Keystone is now known as the “Playground of the Black Hills,” featuring over 20 attractions, from thrilling zip lines to adventure parks. Hop in a helicopter for an adventure ride to see the stunning views of the Black Hills, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, and of course Mount Rushmore. Enjoy several dining options, explore an array of unique gift shops, and don’t forget to check out the arcades and candy shops. Today, more than 2 million people visit Mount Rushmore each year, and nearly all of them come through Keystone, South Dakota.
