House of Scandinavia — Local services in Rapid City

I have been wanting to come here since moving here in Oct 2021, finally as a family we decided to brave the rain and go check it out. It was lovely! The selection of goods were lovely and the delicious selection of goodies were so organized and eye catching. I have to give this the one star because the woman who was there was so overwhelming and she was on top of me and my children the ENTIRE time. Every single time my kids hands went anywhere near ANYTHING she was telling them not to touch. I would have been fine with a “you break it, you buy it approach” but she was absolutely awful.

It was a good stop for folks who have been coming to the Black Hills for years and for people who like the...

What a great shop! My friend and I stopped in while visiting the area, and we ended up spending about an hour looking at all of the different items. There's a great selection of things from all Scandinavian countries. We most enjoyed looking at the books and kitchen items, and there are tons of other things, including food items, clothing (like sweaters and clogs), cards, Christmas ornaments, dishes, jewelry... You name it. I love baking and was impressed with how many cake-baking and lefse-making tools they have. The woman (owner?) working in the store was very helpful and friendly, too. Would definitely recommend stopping in and doing a little shopping for yourself or...
