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.

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 Rushmore, Washington Monument & other huge historical monuments it's amazing it's come this far. Someone mentioned Mt. Rushmore was done in 14 yrs ----- i had read somewhere it was never finished. Anyway, I'm just glad to see people are still doing things with family. And yes, they have a decent visitors center, but you need somewhere for people to go & get started. Unfortunately, our society wants for nice things. They would complain if a historical site didn't have nice place for them to go. I look forward to watching the progress.

We stopped here not really sure what to expect.Yes you could see the monument from the road but to really understand what was going on we paid the admission and went in and glad we did. The museum has quite a few items.The displays are well presented and informative .We spent a few hours looking at just the exhibits alone in the main building. There is also a seperate building which has art work and artifacts of native american tribes. You can get a pass that will let you back once into the monument. That is good if you get there early in the day and want to come back and see the light and lazer show which was quite entertaining.
The project is something to behold considering its size .Yes it probably won't be finished anytime soon but we were glad we stopped and will definitely be back. According to the sculptor who started this project,Crazy Horse is a tribute to all Native American tribes and not just Crazy Horse himself.
if you are expecting a amusement park keep going if you want to see a great project and museum of our Natve American culture it is a must stop .

Historians say Crazy Horse didn't even want his picture taken, so how is blasting a mountain with dynamite a tribute to this warrior and spiritual leader?

When I think of the millions being made by this old woman and her family it makes my blood boil. I wonder how much money is going into that old woman's pockets. All non-profit (i.e. taxfree) just like the radio preachers everyone delights in railing against.

Most people don't seem to care or agree or understand. One tourist lady shot me a dirty look as if to say "I'll kill you, you SOB" when I said that the "monument" was offensive.

They say they can not finish the mountain, good things take time, etc. Yet they sure were able to finish the massive visitor's center, rapidly and on schedule.

The film you see ($25 per carload) is a tribute to the sculptor and his family with barely a mention of Crazy Horse.

This "monument" is against the spirit of Crazy Horse, is an offense to the land, and is a tourist trap of the worst order.
