They really have a racket on this one. They scalp you $27 to get in. Once inside they have a fair movie that talks about how things got started on the site-not bad. Then? It is a high priced souvenir shop. It left me feeling down and taken. Skip it and go to Mt. Rushmore. In 100 years when things... more

We happened upon Crazy Horse before we got to Mount Rushmore (it was our planned destination). We paid the fee and went in - I don't even recall what the fee was. We were travelling by motorbikes and I know for sure we paid a discount because of this. Unlike some of the other posters I think it was well... more

What a joke! First $20 for us to enter the site. Then if we wanted to go to the bottom of the monument it would have been an additional $8. All you can see is the profile of Crazy Horse. At the rate they are going the monument will not be finished until 2102. For best results, Park the car... more

We happened upon Crazy Horse before Mt. Rushmore--not planned, but we decided to see it first anyway. We could see it from the side of the road, and if you don't wish to pay money or learn anything about it, then you could choose to do it that way. But we drove in, paid the fee and took our 6,... more

I've watched this monument, along with many, many, many other people, go from looking as if it might never get finished to getting faster and faster every day. The museums are spread out, but very manageable.. and beautiful to say the least. Something new and educational about the Lakota tribe is always being added. And the actual area is breathtaking.... more

I went here before Mount Rushmore. I am not American so perhaps do not have the same patriotic views about Mount Rushmore, but feel strongly about the way the aboriginal people were treated in the early days. I can see where the project was coming from, but is this really what the old Indian Chief wanted? Loads of people turning... more

Maybe it isn't fair to compare, but both times I've been to this memorial was after I went to Mt. Rushmore. Expecting something spectacular, the Crazy Horse Memorial is something of a let down. You can see Crazy Horse's face, but that's almost it. At the rate that they are working on this project, it will be done approximately sometime... more

I first saw this place in the late 70's and last went there in 1997. I will be returning with my kids (6 and 3 at the moment) when they are big enough to take it in and this place changed my life, literally. On my first visit I knew nothing of the people, the Siouxan nations beliefs or the... more

Stopped here after a visit to Mt. Rushmore after picking up a brochure at the hotel. I thought it was definitely worth a trip. Especially good to watch the movie ahead of time to get the history. Sad part is that after 50+ years they aren't even close to being finished. more

Wow. I'm really surprised how many people are against this. It seems if the government isn't involved or it isn't a Disney or Vegas type people are interested. I'm impressed it's being done by contributions & hard work. It may never be completed in my lifetime, but when you look at the monumental size of this project compared to Mt... more
