Absolutely amazing! The video is great! I didn't know much about it and I learned a lot! Native American made items for sale and they are amazing also! Bit pricey but have to expect that from handmade

Jack Marsh

This is an amazing place. Don't miss out. Once you arrive ask about joining the Grass Roots Club and taking a van ride to the top of the mountain . It's a life-changing experience. Wonderful staff .

Chris

Monument was as expected but the pleasant surprise was the collection of 17th century European furniture and Egyptian artifacts in the sculptor's house! Definitely worth it!

Cindy Parks

Very impressive place, it's a must see for sure... everyone needs to put this on their bucket list!

Kelsey L

This is more than just a giant memorial tribute. The museum of artifacts from various Native American tribes across the US was very informative. A lot of beautiful pieces.

Robert Todd Wilcke

Watch the movie , take the bus tour , walk around the visitor center. Schedule at least a couple of hours. This is actually a neat place if you take in everything else too.

Jacqueline Kocur

Awesome that they turned down federal funding and relied solely on free market tourism to fund a good project. Very friendly and helpful staff . Definitely worth the visit!

Mirah Welday

Plan to stay long enough to look through the entire center. They have an extensive collection of Native American paintings , clothing , and artifacts .

Greg Jones

This is an incredible story about a passionate sculptor and a grand vision of a few great people

Jenny Schepper

They have a laser light show every night about 9:30pm. Lots of history to learn there. Great place to visit over again.

Charlotte Blommestijn

save yourself the 11$ pp, and just pull up on the side of the road - view doesn't really get a lot better up top. Your time is much better spent on Custer 's scenic drives & trails

Liduvino Montero

Enjoyed the Native American dance ...very educational ...awesome experience just being so close to the memorial to Crazy Horse...

Sydney Guilliams

Definitely worth seeing if you are interested in Native American history . Pay the extra $4 for the closer look, well worth it!

Isadore Calderon

Visit the Crazy Horse monument in South Dakota. See the legend immortalized in a 563-foot-high, 641-foot-long sculpture .

Kathleen O'Donnell Grone

Fabulous and interesting. Great restaurant and I love the museum

Patricia Linn

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion . . . . . The fact that the Feds aren't involved? Well that's worth the visit in itself !

Robert Jim Fulner

A wonderful commitment to voluntarism and what you can accomplish without a government hand out.

The Black Hills of South Dakota

Ask visitor center staff if a live blast is scheduled for today. If so, be sure to stick around to watch it. Very cool experience, indeed!

Aaron Johnson

Half done memorial, no hiking trails , can’t get close to the rock, wouldn’t do it again.

Marcia Frost

Made it to the last stop of the day before night activities in Rapid City . @Custer #HiFromSD

John O'Donovan

Worth every penny this effort is supported by fees and donations not a suck on federal or state taxes. Worth the cost to support private enterprise

Michael Less

Crazy Horse is pretty cool, but it hasn't changed much since I first visited in 2001. Maybe I just forgot, but I know it's been a long work in progress.

Lesley DiBenedetto

Interesting but costly to view something you can see from outside...everyone should experience 1x

Chad Hembree

A cool concept and somewhat educational , but extremely boring for the kids who cannot understand why in 80 years there is barely a face finished.

Jordin Warren

Its worth it to go iin, don't miss the museum !

Mary A

Hardly about Native history or assisting current Native peoples in any way- more about the artist . A beautiful monument , but doesn't live up to philosophical expectations.

Em Reid

Kind of cool to see this work in progress, but it's WAY too expensive (over $20/person) for a monument that may never be completed.

Summer

Spend the extra and go to the base, if you can afford it donate and go to the top! The food in the cafe though was awful! Opt for a coffee instead of a meal!

Charles Coachman

If you want to know more about Native American history this is one place that must be visited.

rebecca swanlund

You pay $10 per person to get in the door then $4 if u want to get a closer view . They are 1 million dollars away from their goal but its only 1/5 completed. But I guess there is a laser show at 8:45p

Parag Shah

Admission few is a bit pricey but is worth it for this incredible story and monument

Marizza Witt-Doerring

$22 admission is a bit pricey when the monument is unfinished

Shannon Jeropke

A little over priced but it is dog friendly .

Mercedes Nowinski

I loved the place but work is slow moving.

Tim

$27 to look at a rock in the side of a hill that you can see from the road for free

Shelby Remmers

Laser light show isn't as awesome as it sounds. Don't get your hopes up!

John O'Donovan

See the movie about the carving before walking around the museum

Larry Taylor

Not impressed with the people that works here. Nice to see and appreciate crazy horse.

SNOCRU

Good things come to those who wait

Kevin Whyte

If the ticket offices are busy, stick to the right lane. Generally, there are two TO's that service this lane.

Tim Edwards

I'm at crazy horse with keith

T-dawg

Don't be cheap and donate some spare change.

Ieswk

Still a bit more Togo

Daniel Goulet

If your Active Duty Military , let them know at the entrance.

Rachel

Interesting, to say the least.

Luca Volpicelli

A great delution! 10$ per person to see nothing

Renae Kondrat

SOoooo not worth the cost of entry. Take the same pictures from the street and save yourself the aggravation

Jennifer Jones-Blice

Laser show tonight!!

Arturo Vidrio

Crazy 3 rd time here
