If you're going to Rushmore, be sure to hit Needles Hwy. Deadwood doesn't take long unless you want to gamble or shop. The crab leg buffets on Friday nights are good. As mentioned, the kids (and adults) will like the reptile gardens and bear country much more than Deadwood. Yes on Devil's Tower, Beartooth Pass, Keystone Hwy, Rushmore and Needles Hwy. History buffs love the parks and museums but the kiddos might get bored. The caves in the area can be fun to. I was to Wall Drug as a kid but I don't remember enjoying it at all so I've went elsewhere.

P.S. Anyone should swing into Cosmos if kids are along.
