We visisted July 20, 2009, but just went to entrance and asked if we could turn around. For our family of four the price seemed a little high and the only thing we really wanted after sightseeing all day was just to get a picture. It would be nice if it was further along, then maybe I could see paying... more

We originally went to see Crazy Horse only because we had gone out of our way to check Mount Rushmore off of our "list". I was impressed with great exhibits in the visitors' center. Although the monument is far from finished, it is still impressive. The day we were there a large dump truck was parked under his nose giving... more

This monumental sculpture in granite is much bigger then Mt. Rushmore and though not finished, more impressive. Seeing is from the road is impressive but learning about the artist and his family is twice as interesting. Spend the money to go inside and spend 2 to 4 hours. Everything you see and hear about the amazing man who started this... more

I read some discouraging reviews but I am glad we stopped to see it. Yes, there is much work to still be done but you can feel the creative spirit. It was so interesting to see the film of the early work. And the tribute to the Native American culture is inspiring. more

Crazy Horse monument is a work in progress. It will take a few more years before the figure of the Native American chief on his horse is sculpted out of the mountain. So you have to come back later with your grandchildren to see more of it. The fascinating exhibits and lore in the museum is a discovery of Indian... more

Crazy Horse Memorial, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is a private, nonprofit, educational, cultural, humanitarian endeavor honoring all Native American Indians. It is a work in progress, begun by Korczak Ziolkowski in 1948 and continued today by his wife and children carving the figure Crazy Horse, a Native American Indian in the mountain. I was awestruck by... more

We had been to crazy horse about 20 years ago and decided on this trip to stop and see what progress they had made. We should have looked at it from the road and not gone paid the admission price. THe view was the same from the road as from inside the place and it cost $27.00 dollars to go... more

an attraction in the making. We were there for the blasting of 1000 lbs of the side of the rock. Such a long slow process. what you see from the road is just what you will see inside. At $20.00 per person I do not recommend. Everything inside is quite costly. $5.00 ice cream cones. They even sell chips of... more

but for now, it's over priced. There's a museum there and history of it being done, but... more $$ to get closer and actually see the front of the face. Right now, it's not worth the price, but I still wanted to contribute in order to help along it's completion. Right now, it's disappointing. more

I didn't really want to go as I'd been there back in 1986 and thought it was just a mountain. But my husband wanted to go so we did, and boy am I glad. When we first arrived they had us watch a short documentary on the sculptor and the meaning of the Crazy Horse Memorial. They have an amazing... more
