It was $6 for kids five and under, $7 for everybody else. The pool itself is large, there weren't a lot of people there when we were there so the kids got a lot of space to themselves. There were two diving boards, and the kids had a good time. There is also an outdoor area to eat and a baby kids pool outside. The entire place was really clean, the showers and restrooms were good, not to mention included, so definitely take your shower here if you're staying at Fort Robinson so you don't have to pay to use the shower house. Kids had a great time and we're asking to go back again. I swam and also I had a great time.

It is just like any public pool. Locker rooms. Pay at the door. Life jackets to borrow! The water feels fantastic. We went for our son (who was 5 at the time), but he went down the big slide once and refused to again. But I went down it nearly half a dozen times and had THE TIME OF MY LIFE! I have NEVER went down a giant water slide - always too self-conscious as a kid. If you go, whoever you are, let yourself have fun! For thousands of years, the Lakota Sioux prized the natural warm water springs, the "Minnekahta," in this valley. In 1890, local businessman Fred Evans built Evans Plunge over the site of numerous sparkling springs and one mammoth spring of mineral water and made Evans Plunge the Black Hills' oldest attraction - older than Mt. Rushmore or Crazy Horse.

2 Stars…read more Unfortunately, our visit to Evans Plunge in South Dakota was pretty disappointing. We drove about 45 minutes specifically to enjoy the outdoor pool and water slide, especially since it was over 100 degrees outside. After paying admission, we were then told that the outdoor area wasn't available because they didn't have enough staff to operate it. That was extremely frustrating because this is something we really should have been told BEFORE paying to enter. Had we known the outdoor pool and slide were closed, we probably would not have made the trip or paid admission. What made it even more frustrating was seeing staff who, in our observation, seemed to spend quite a bit of time talking with friends rather than actively watching the pool. From our perspective, it made the explanation about being understaffed difficult to understand and left us feeling like opening the outdoor area simply wasn't a priority that day. Another major issue was the lack of seating. There had to be at least 100 people there, yet I would estimate there were maybe 25 chairs, if that, surrounding the pool. There appeared to be plenty of room for additional chairs, and people were left trying to figure out where to sit or even where to safely place their belongings. For a facility people may travel a considerable distance to visit, communication needs to be better. If a major attraction such as the outdoor pool and water slide is unavailable--especially on a 100+ degree day--guests should be informed before purchasing admission. We drove 45 minutes expecting the full experience and unfortunately left disappointed.
