  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Crazy Horse Memorial is an ongoing Native American monument project located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Visitors generally find the site impressive due to its sheer scale and ambitious vision. The memorial complex includes a museum, cultural center, and the in-progress mountain carving.

    Many reviewers appreciate the Native American history and culture showcased at the visitor center and museum. The exhibits provide informative context about the Lakota leader Crazy Horse and the vision behind the monument. The laser light show in the evenings is often mentioned as a highlight.

    However, some visitors express disappointment with the slow progress of the actual mountain carving, which has been under construction for decades. The high admission price is another common critique, with some feeling it doesn't offer enough value for the cost, especially if construction work isn't visible during their visit.

    The site's remote location offers beautiful views of the Black Hills, which many find awe-inspiring. The on-site restaurant receives mixed reviews, with some praising the food while others find it overpriced.

    Overall, the Crazy Horse Memorial offers a thought-provoking experience that combines history, culture, and an ambitious artistic endeavor. While the unfinished state of the monument may disappoint some, many find the ongoing project and its message inspiring.
