This voice-over was really well done. He tells you what to expect on your right or left and the app gives you time to get to your next stop at your own pace. Once you get there, it will continue its audio.

This is a RIP OFF you can walk the falls for FREE! The people at the information desk looked at me like I was dumb for buying it.

Hi Alec This is a self-guided audio tour meant to enhance your experience around the park to the falls. It's a companion guide. We never claimed that the park isn't free to enter. Can you please let us know why you thought you had to pay to enter the park? Thanks, Alicia

This was a fun afternoon activity. We spent about 90 minutes at Minnehaha Falls and park area and saw much more than we would have without the guided tour and directions. The park's signage and sites are not in great repair, so the audio guided tour was essential to really appreciating what we were seeing and knowing how to navigate the area. Kids would enjoy the narration, as well.
