Visisted July 18th. I expected a little more from the reviews; however, it was a good starting point for our Yellowstone trip. My kids 17 and 12 were not real impressed but at least gave the kids something to do before going back to the hotel to swim. I did expect more of the building to be covered with decorations... more

Located in Mitchell, South Dakota, the corn palace is pretty amazing. The whole thing is built out of corn!! I wonder how long it takes them to do it each year? more

- Unless you are passing right by, are impressed by corn or are really bored - I would skip it - The previous buildings were a lot more impressive - The designs are cool but nothing like they used to be in the early 1900's - Inside the corn palace is bathrooms, a stadium and a small gift shop more

It's very easy to find as signage to it from the Interstate is wellmarked.There is adequate and free parking in the immediate environs. The outside walls of the palace vary every year and the amazing thing is that the great majority of the corn used in decorating the wall panels is grown in the region! The inside of the building... more

it was on our way and we had the time, so we stopped by. I liked it more than I thought. Quite interesting to see all the murals made from ears of corn and corn stalks. Nice job they do with it. more

The corn palace in Mitchell is a must stop if traveling down I-90 or in the general area. The palace is actually a city auditorium facility that is decorated each year with incredible murials and designs made completely of corn. It really is amazing. Just thinking of the time it must take to design the scheme and implement it is... more

We stopped here on the first day of our South Dakota vacation on our way to Wall. It was well worth the stop. It is amazing to me that this is just a giant gymnasium that is decorated in corn. Not just any corn but all different colors and types. The designs and scenes are beautiful and every year they... more

We stopped on our way to the Black Hills and had a corny time! It's amazing that people would actually take the time to redo the pictures yearly and to do it with corn nonetheless! The building appears to be a community center when not entertaining car weary travelers. It's worth a look if you are passing by on I-90. more

We were driving across South Dakota and decided to stop in Mitchell for lunch. (Well, okay, I heard about the Corn Palace long ago and made sure that I incorporated Mitchell into the trip just so I could indulge my love of kitschy tourist attractions.) I live in the NYC metro area and believe me, there's nothing like the Corn... more

We had the choice of visiting the Corn Palace or the Spam Museum as a stop over on a road trip (corn over spam anyday!!) and the Palace won. To be fair, the palace is not made of corn, its a brick building with corn stuck on top, dont get me wrong, the time and effort that has gone into... more
