Watch the film at all of the attractions. It helps to understand the history and building of the memorials. read the crazy horse story. very good. I didn't really know the meaning behind the memorial until we listened to the story on cd. the laser show is good. nice museum. very easy to get to from Custer state park.

This is a must see attraction. The monument is incredible in size and scope. Take the $4.00 bus ride to really see it in all its splendor. But the real attraction here is the story of what the monument is, what it means to the Lakota people and the man who dedicated his life and the lives of his family... More

The history alone of this place makes it worth a visit, the movie is so moving too. Take the ride up to the foot of the monument for the little extra money because it's so worth it.

We have been visiting the Crazy Horse Memorial for more years than we can count. Reason? Because it is an honor to join the thousands of visitors to respectfully view the splendid artifact collections, partake in just plain quality food at the restaurant, and to hike up to the memorial each year. The memorial and the bazillions of hours of... More

The sculture is, of course, unfinshed, but the story that you are told in the video and the museum are what is most impressive. Some of the more dense clods reviewing here seem to think if you pay your ten dollars you should get to see a finished statue.... They should stay home and watch their TV. Like so many... More

The history and the stories were engrossing. The story of Crazy Horse and the life and history of the Lakota Indians were well documented and the exhibits were extensive and well laid out. The second and almost as fascinating story was that of the artist who started the mountain carving project in the 30's. his decades of dedication and the... More

We didn't know this existed until it was recommended by hotel. It has an incredible story behind it and it's just amazing in size. Mount Rushmore is not far away about 20 minutes as well as a town called Keystone. .....check it out. Cost is $10 per adult or $27 per car load. Bus trip for closer view is 4.00... More

The cost is per person not per car to get in then another $4 per person to go on a bus up to the base of the mountain. I thought the extra $4 was a little much and did not do that but we still had a great time. The gift shop and area shops were fun and interesting to... More

crazy horse is must to go see; even though it's been taking a long time to get done (no federal funding, just by admissions and donations, i think), it's still a sight to see; you have to watch the video first, and then one understands the history of it and why it's taking so long. got some awesome pics

This memorial was one of the highlights of our trip. Personally I enjoyed it more than Mount Rushmore. Getting up to see the mountain was well worth the extra $4. Learning about the story (that it was all inspired and built by one man and his descendants) was powerfully inspiring. There is an excellent museum about the Native American tribes... More
