The World's Only Corn Palace

Yes, it's corny, but very interesting! The history behind this corn museum is "amazing!" 😉 Everybody that we spoke with prior to this trip, all said we needed to stop here! They were right! It's a sight for everybody to see and witness this piece of history they keep alive! The exterior is corn art, along with the murals on the interior! In addition, there's an auditorium with numerous upcoming live concerts! It's not a shabby lineup, in my opinion! There's also a very nice snack bar with all kinds of goodies! In the auditorium, there's an enormous gift shop that covers the basketball court area! Most impressive! There's so many visitors coming and going the entire time you're sightseeing! It's definitely a popular vacation stop! This building was first erected and decorated with corn in 1852! Enjoy the history and spread the news to others! Impressive!

It was great! The whole place is mostly made of corn. Some of the murals look absolutely astonishing. My favorite was the Mount Rushmore mural. All of them are completely made of corn husks not corn pieces. If I could write it more than five stars, I’d do 100 out of five.

Such a unique place! While we were visiting they were taking some of the corn down on one side of the building. So cool to see how they pull the corn down with a pitch fork! The corn is stapled up on the building with particle board! Make sure to checkout the inside and go upstairs to see all the pictures of the corn palace from years passed. Each ear they do a different design! In the inside they have a huge gift shop that takes up half of the arena floor. And make sure to stop at the concessions stand to get some popcorn to enjoy while walking around!

Nice fun place to stop, especially since it's free. Mitchell is a nice, clean, friendly city. We weren't planning on stopping but needed to stretch our legs. I highly recommend taking a few minutes off your travels and enjoying some nice downtime to stretch your legs and rest your eyes.

If you love road side attractions as much as we do you will love this stop. 🛻Plenty of parking even for large RVs but look up the lot on Google maps and drop a pin to take you there. It's only 1/2 block walk to the corn palace entrance. But no overnight parking so find a hotel, campground or harvest host nearby. 💲It's free to get in and look around. 📸 Several places to get corny photos, everything has a corn theme, even out review. 🚻 Free bathrooms that are nice and clean. 🥪 They have corn dogs, corn chips, popcorn, you get the idea. But you have to try their popcorn balls and Carmel corn cobs they are world famous and ours were delicious. Or there are restraints right across the street. Give us a like 👍 or mark this review as helpful. ✔️If you stop or not. This is a nice roadside attraction

Coming into this, I had no idea what it was going to be like, and I was surprised upon my entrance. Concessions was as concessions is with the usual hot dog and pretzel also with some drinks. They also had popcorn (duh) and popcorn balls along with some other popcorn products. The gift shop was in the middle of the basketball court with a great selection, and I had no idea that it was the college arena. The theme for this year is the world wonders, and it was cool too see the corn murals around the building

I heard about this place and really thought it was just a structure made out of corn. Stopped in Mitchell SD on our way to Rapid City and was pleasantly surprised. It's a huge tourist attraction with tons of corn murals. There are all kinds of souvenirs you can buy. There's a big stage and there have been some well-known artists who have been there to sing. I believe you can have meetings there, graduations, and possibly wedding receptions. It was very cool. There is free parking and it's free to get in.

So glad we stopped to see the Corn Palace! We really enjoyed learning about its history and the farmer-artist who not only designs the artwork for the new theme each year but also grows the corn used in the displays. There’s a cute snack shop, and you can head up to the auditorium to check out the souvenir area. Plenty of parking and lots of charming little shops around the block. The attendant who welcomed us was super friendly and clearly proud of the Corn Palace and the town of Mitchell.
