About this business

A discovery made in 1952 by two college lads, has turned into Rapids City's popular attraction, Cosmos Mystery Area. As the signboard at the entrance aptly reads 'laws of nature seem to have gone completely berserk', nothing in this attraction can be perceived as normal. The tour involves standing on walls, walking around tilted structures, water flowing upwards, unexplainable changes in heights and sizes and much more. If you are too perplexed regarding the occurrences on the tour, then distortion is the answer. While on a ... read more

The absolute worst customer service I have ever seen. We drove all the way here three separate times in order to get reservations and were told different things each time. Zero consistency with staff and guidelines. We were told to make reservations but couldn’t via phone, so we drove there in person and were told we couldn’t get in that day. The next day we were told to come and make reservations but that they wouldn’t make them more than an hour in advance, so we left and came back only to be told that no one could make re... read more

Business response:

I am sorry to hear that your experience was less than desirable. We have been unexpectedly busy this week and reservations fill up fast, often selling out well in advance. We cannot make reservations the same day due to this. Reservation times are available online the day before at our website (cosmosmysteryarea.com). I apologize that you were not informed of this option for your family. We would love to have you visit us, feel free to message the page and I can set up a reservation for your family if you’re still interested... read more

Kari (not sure about spelling I apologize) was very fun. Awesome tour guide. Not for the traveler with mobility problems but definitely fun for kids.

A challenging guided tour that will test your visual and balancing skills. A stop the Kid's fully enjoyed. Don't forget to laugh at the guide's jokes,😂 and Maggie did an excellent job keeping us entertained.👍 Thank You Cosmos crew.

A nice short swift pit stop and visit. The staff are highly professional and friendly. The actual areas of mystery were intriguing to say the least. You can physically feel it when standing around the vortex. The spirit level was always precise and tested by skeptic's. Even the trees bend for the different gravitational pull in the area. our kids had a fantastic time. Didn't take too much time up and wasn't too expensive. Highly recommended!
