mount rushmore is a very cool place to visit it took very lond to make it and one guy even died making it!! if u ever go to south dakota go to mount rushmore or ...

I have lived in the black hills now for 5 years. When I first saw Mt. Rushmore I thought it was breath taking. I take my kids back every year and still feel the same way. It is well worth the $8 yearly pass. Like any place take your own food or please dont complain about the cost and the quality.There are so many places to see in SD. It is a great place to visit!

We made the mistake of seeing the Crazy Horse monument before going to Rushmore. Perhaps I would have found Mt. Rushmore more impressive had I not seen and experienced the powerful work being done at the Crazy Horse site. I came away with he feeling that the Rushmore carvings are a travesty. The ultimate graffiti, created solely as a tourist ...

How can you go to a place that was stolen by the U.S. This is and was Holy ground to the Lakota. It is a discrace, to the U.S. Will not advise. Go to Crazy horse.

took my 84 yr old mom to see mt rushmore. it is the only state she had not been to in her 84 hrs old life. she loved it and was not let down. the last state for her to visit was so dakota and nebraska. now she has been in all 50 states. Hurray..........

I drove out from Rapid City and expected a big deal. Didn't happen. Took about 15 minutes to see EVERYTHING and take some pics just to show I was there. The heads are much smaller than you might think. Went to see the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial and that was much more worthwhile and informative.

My family and I loved the day at Rushmore. Rapid City itself has a lot to offer (civilization) and Rushmore had just the right amount of trails, exhibits, and a gift shop that actually didn't feel like we were getting taken advantage of (steer away from the buffalo burgers however, no pun intended). This was a nice, reasonably priced day with the family!

When I was about 8 yrs. old I had done an essay on Mount Rushmore and always dreamed of being able to see it in person. That dream came true for me at the age of 64 when I visited it. I actually had tears in my eyes when I first saw it and I've got beautiful photos to remind me that a dream did come true. Just with that it wasn't such a commericalized place now....just like what they have done to Stone Mountain, GA.

It was a disappointment, as the movies and pictures make it seem like it is a different atmosphere than it really is. The only good time to go is during the 4th of July, but it is absolutely crazy then, unless you have a VIP pass to park. Everything, like any tourist trap, is expensive. The trails are nice, but not long enough.
