Me and My Wife loved going to Custer Park Near Deadwood. We can’t wait to take our kids there!! I would recommend that park as a possibility.

What’s up in Medora? We’re heading back home that route leaving MT this summer and planned on staying in Dickinson. The plan was to make a loop through TR park then dinner and hotel. Should we change it up and stay in Medora?I would highly recommend staying a night in Medora on your way to or from Yellowstone. Check out the town and park during the day and take in the musical at night. Then head down to SD the following day.

Cool that’s exactly what we’d be doing, Half a day/night. That’s the return leg of a 4 week road trip out West so low key activities is all I’m getting out of the kids, I think they’ll be all hiked out! Definitely going to check it out....Medora is located right at the entrance to the park and is just a fun little town. Lots of small shops and fun stuff for the kids. I haven't been to the Medora Musical for years, but I know that people come from all over to see it. Medora is great for one day/night unless you're into hiking and/or mountain biking. There are some awesome trails in Medora with lots of wildlife....including rattlesnakes!
Put the other ndbowhunter as a down vote for medora. It'll be smoking hot in the park
Thanks for the heads up. Heat might be a deal breaker for the wife. ☀
Dickinson is only 40 miles from Medora....If it's hot in Medora it will be hot in Dickinson. If you won't be hiking, just drive through the park and take a quick walk through the town. The musical starts around sundown so you could always head for Dickinson afterwards. I haven't been in Medora for a few years, but I know they have some nice hotels, but not sure about pools for the kids. Lots of hotels with fun stuff for kids in Dickinson.
Dickinson is a bit of a mess after all the oilfield trash came through. Things have improved slightly in the last few years, but there are still some place to stay away from. Medora is just a tourist town with typical tourist attractions. Also, the pitchfork fondue (deep fried steak) is excellent if they are still doing that.
