My wife and I just got back from seeing Crazy Horse Monument and the surrounding area and I have to ask myself if they are truly wanting to get this monument finished. They told of the millions of dollars the Fed. Gov. offerd to give to help finish this and the family and board of directors turned them down for... more

The "monument" of Crazy Horse is visible from the road and if you only want to see the carving of the mountain, I would recommend viewing it from outside the gates - especially since they charge $10 a person to get in ($27 a carload)! The price is probably that high because the sculpting of Crazy Horse is privately funded... more

This is a facility that is intented to support the family of the original sculptor and several vendors selling what appears to be Native American Indian crafts. Much of it was beautiful, and I'm sure was handmade. I'm not convinced the hands were from this continent. But the prices reflected local labor. Supposedly some of the money goes back to... more

When we first arrived we thought this was expensive for the entry price but after our visit which could have lasted all day we thought this was an absolute bargain . Interesting,humbling and thoroughly enjoyable. Well worth the entrance fee which all goes to the project. Hope I can see the finished project. more

This is a work in progress and is facinating. The highlight of our trip to the black hills. This family is so commited to this project. Dont belive the bad reveiws for they dont understand commitment. This place is not fed. funded and will take time. more

Travel guides don't explain how wonderful this place is. Huge parking lot, excellent modern facilities in adjacent buildings, good view of the monument. Plan on 2+ hours to enjoy this attraction. Impressive, huge building complex with 2 large theatres showing free introductory film, large first-class Indian and historical museum, not stuffy like many museums, but large, open, sleek modern displays... more

My personal theory on why it's taking so long to complete the carving is that it's a cash cow for the owners -- this thing could line their pockets for generations and I suspect they couldn't care less about finishing it. If you've ever been to a decent museum (or to "South of the Border" on I-95), the visitors center... more

While this is a work in progress, the visitor center and information and artifacts inside were worth the 10 dollars. I learned a great deal about the Lakota People and about the sculptor. We enjoyed this more than Mt. Rushmore which we more or less just drove by. Ten bucks isn't bad compared to the information shared. Learn about the... more

We liked this memorial to a great Lakota leader and enjoyed meeting the artisans and watching the dancers. There is alot more information on the Polish Sculpter and his family than there is on Crazy Horse - or Tasunke Witko as he was really called, and I accept some of what people say about dragging ot out just a bit.... more
