Things Are A Little Off At The Cosmos Mystery Area

Dec 5, 2021 | 0 comments

One of the oldest attractions in the Black Hills is the Cosmos Mystery Area.  Located a short way from Rapid City and Mt Rushmore, the story goes that two college boys were scouting the area for a place to build a cabin and discovered a spot where mysterious things seemed to occur.  So they stayed and built the Cosmos cabins.

This family friendly place takes visitors on a 45 minute guided hike with stops that challenge your understanding of physics and gravity.  Water flows uphill and balls roll the wrong way.  If you are prone to motion sickness, this may not be for you.
