Aberdeen is the hub of northeastern South Dakota, a city built by the railroads that still serves as a center for agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare and retail across a wide farming region. Northern State University brings students and faculty, and the area’s farms, grain operations and equipment dealers keep agribusiness at the core of the economy. L. Frank Baum lived in Aberdeen before he wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and the town celebrates that connection with a Land of Oz in its children’s park.
Aberdeen is about three hours from Sioux Falls and Fargo by car, and the drive across the prairie is long for a quick meeting. Aberdeen Regional Airport is just east of town, so flying private makes it practical to reach farm operations and businesses in the region and return home the same day. The surrounding Glacial Lakes region draws hunters for pheasant and waterfowl, and anglers for walleye and perch, while visitors also enjoy Storybook Land, the Dacotah Prairie Museum and the lakes north of town.

Things to do in Aberdeen
When to go. Fall is Aberdeen’s busiest season, with pheasant hunting starting in mid-October and waterfowl moving through the region. Spring brings migrating snow geese to Sand Lake. Summer is pleasant for fishing and enjoying the parks, with warm days and long evenings. Winters are long and cold, with snow and wind, though ice fishing keeps the lakes busy.
