The trails, gardens, and lower level of the building are not open to the public. The outdoor trails and gardens include plants that are culturally significant to Dakota people and are to be used by SMSC Members only. The gift shop also shares its space with the SMSC library, so guests should be mindful of those around them. The Hoċokata Ti gift shop features a variety of Native-made art, books, music, beaded and quilled items, and craft supplies that build upon the cultural center’s mission to educate visitors about the Dakota people. Tours are offered to guests, where an assortment of Dakota Sioux artifacts can be viewed in the public gallery. Hoċokata Ti’s 3,805-square-foot public exhibit, called Mdewakanton: Dwellers of the Spirit Lake, provides visitors with a cultural experience that enhances their knowledge and understanding of the Mdewakanton Dakota people and their history.

Hoċokata Ti is the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community’s (SMSC) cultural center and gathering space that is used to interpret and encourage traditional Mdewakanton Dakota cultural heritage, language, and history by sustaining this inherent knowledge for SMSC Members through exhibitions, preservation, and education. The walk is long, maybe just over 5 min from casino but they had golf carts running back and forth.A New Gathering Place for the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community All info on Mystic Lake - The Buffet in Prior Lake - Call to book a table. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: 2030 Food: 2 Service: 3. I'm not sure this is offered at every concert, but, there was also a stand to purchase chairs for $15. There was none since 2020, but they did have a restaurant that served turkey. I suppose I should say one good thing about the general admission area: it slopes so you can see over all the placed concert seats in front of you. I know the casino jacks up the price for a room on those nights but I am lucky to live only 15 min away. I will not go back to this venue unless I have a front paid seat. This concert had 4 food trucks and plenty of drink areas and picnic benches. Again, not what I am used to but how could I complain by getting a free ticket? But I am here just to point out some facts for others that I wish I had known. Warning: the general admission is the furthest you can possibly be.

So, i was not happy about their wording that chairs would be away from standing people. I am also 'Minnesota Nice' and don't want to stand in front of someone that is sitting. I normally stand in front at concerts so this detail was important to me to look up before going. Maybe I read that wrong, but found out standing AND sitting people were all the same area. I read ahead that you can bring a chair and that would be a separate designated area. A concert experience is important to me so I'd like to share all the little details of my first experience the Ampitheater.
