The museum used wands to provide a selfguiding tour. It was long and the wax figures were average. All in all it was informative but dull
Thank you for the glowing review! We're so glad you stopped by to see us last Fall! If you're ever in the area again, make sure to come see us!Clay KingGeneral Manager The National Presidential Wax Museum
From the first exhibit I had concerns on the perspective slant that was displayed. That wasn't the only one the made me shake my head. Many of the figures looked nothing like who they were supposed to - George Bush, Jackie Kennedy among others were just horrendous. I did learn some interesting facts about earlier presidents. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
The wax museum did a nice job - it was clean and the self guided wands worked well. The wax figures were very lifelike, they almost looked real. My 12 and 10 year old did ok with the tour, they got a little bored towards the end. It took us about 1.5 hours to go through the exhibit.
Thank you so much for taking the time to come check out The National Presidential Wax Museum! I'm so glad you like the displays! Katherine Stubergh Keller really was a pretty incredible woman and the absolute best at her craft. I wish I had the opportunity to meet she and her husband! We are in the midst of some new, exciting improvements for the 2015 season, so make sure you come check it out this summer! Thanks again!Clay KingGeneral ManagerThe National Presidential Wax Museum
This place has a few amazing scenes set up including President Bush addressing the workers at Ground Zero and LBJ being sworn in on Air Force One.
I spotted this after seeing Mt. Rushmore and just dropped in. Great audio tour ($10) and very educational.
This wax museum has a very nice audio tour that you access at your own pace via hand-held speakers. It was nicely arranged with period vignettes, and the audio information was interesting and presented a lot of history. As is always the case, some of the figures uncannily resembled the presidents while others were a bit of a stretch. The gift shop has many unique items.
Thank you for visiting the museum! I'm sorry some of the displays were not for you. Because of the import of the scene being depicted on Air Force One following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, we felt it should be included in our museum and that it should be portrayed as accurately as possible.Our audio narration for some of the displays are longer in order to give the visitors who enjoy history their money's worth and provide those who might not be familiar with the scene depicted a vivid account of the history being portrayed. Thank you again for stopping by The National Presidential Wax Museum.
Thank you so much for visiting the National Presidential Wax Museum. The 911 display is definitely one of our favorites because it's so powerful and tells a story that words cannot. We're working hard to add new and unique displays like it in the upcoming years, so make sure to check back with us if you find yourself in the Black Hills again!Happy travels!Clay KingGeneral Manager The National Presidential Wax Museum
