Mt. Rushmore & Badlands-Must-See Suggestions
We have only a week to visit & see the Mt. Rushmore & Bad Lands areas. Our plans also include a day trips to Devils Tower & Crazy Horse. What are other "must-see" suggestions? Like Jewel Cave Natio...

Don't waste your time at Wall Drug. There is absolutely NOTHING special about it. The famous glass of ice water is a tiny little thing and they overcharge for everything else in there. And what's in there is a bunch of tacky souveneir stuff made in China.
The Corn Palace in Mitchell SD, is worth an hour or so, if only to see the outside, which is quite remarkable.
Go to Rushmore as early in the day as possible. It gets very hot and there is a lot of rock/concrete with no shade.
The Mammoth Site is amazing, too, and really kid-friendly.
The MinuteMan Missile National Historic Site is worth a trip. If you don't know much about the Cold War era, read up on it a little bit before you go, and get your kids to do that, too.
