If you are headed across SD on the interstate, stop and see the touristy Corn Palace. It's free and provides a nice travel break! You go into this knowing it's a tourist draw for the town, so just go with the flow. My kids had a good time checking things out for about an hour.

The Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD is interesting. It really does have plant material (corn cobs and other plant material) on the outside (it is nailed onto the existing building) and in the main room of the interior. The design changes yearly on the outside. We were able to see some of the outside material being replaced. It was worth... More

Quite impressive place! We stopped in on our road trip and it was a great break from being in the car. We enjoyed the gift shop the most and the fact that it was free. Just know that it is off the road a bit, which I didn't like but overall it was worth the stop.

We're so glad you stopped in! We're located right off of I-90 approximately 2 miles from the exit, so I hope it wasn't to hard to find us! Next time be sure to try one of our famous popcorn balls! They will definitely have you coming back for more! :) More

This is an amazing venue that has been redone each year to show state pride and corn art. It really is the corn palace in the world and worth a stop if you are in the area. Best of all it's free.

I was so impressed by the size of the building and diversity of corn types and colors! The place is actually a running arena, event center and cinema. We really enjoyed the walk through the place. There are whole murals covering the walls both inside and out, incredible art. There are pictures of each year's palace on the walls. It... More

The Corn Palace is a fun place to see. There is really not much to do there, but it is very unique and worth a stop. The gift shop is a little over priced, but does have some unique items. If passing through Mitchell this is a fun stop.

If you are driving by the area and have an hour to spare (to park, go to concession and use the bathroom) you may consider stopping by the Corn palace. It may have been special during the turn of the century but now it is no more than a sporting venue with murals made from corn.

Free Admission! It has concessions, gift store, periodically hosts concerts, has a small movie room and some various activities to do for kids (there was a combine simulator). It's nothing mindblowing, but worth stopping to see if you're traveling past Mitchell on I-90 (only a few minutes from the interstate through town) and need a place to take a break.
