Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center

Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center is off I-29 exit 149 (Hamilton Blvd.), then s. to 900 Larsen Park Rd.

Rotating exhibits also are presented.

Several gardens contain examples of plant species encountered by the explorers, and the Betty Strong Encounter Center preserves the area's heritage. Life-size bronze animal sculptures also are on the grounds.

Educational and entertainment programs are offered.
