We had seen things for the Corn Palace as we closed on Mitchell. But our front desk guy gave us the details on it. We were on an overnight stay in Mitchell, June, 2023. So we decided to delay our departure and check it out. I expected a lot of what it was because of the information we got the night before. The most impressive thing for me was the outside appearance. It's great to look at. The inside did have information and such. But was a little cheesy inside. But it's fun and great for kids to be entertained during the visit. The venue also acts as the town entertainment center. There is the theater/arena area that has sports events like basket ball or such, but also has a nice stage for stage acts. When we visited, the main floor was being used for a pretty good size gift shop for the folks visiting the Corn Palace. I'm not going to knock it in anyway, because it was done very nice. And the wife did purchase something. There is also a Corn Palace gift shop right across the street. And to no surprise, there's quite a few other stores near by for your shopping connivence. Another nice feature of the Corn Palace is an outside balcony that allows for really nice views of the street below. It has glass railings to protect you, but not interrupt the views from the street, and down to the street. The Corn Palace does have rest rooms on the first floor. Mens room on one side, women's on the other. But they were fairly large and can probably accommodate a decent amount of people. Well maybe not if there's a big event or such. Something we made the mistake of doing was that we were close by at night, but didn't go to see the Corn Palace lit up at night. We were told it really is great to see the outside at night when lit up. But he said the rest is better in the day. So if you can do both, do it. If you can only go at one time, they probably are both good which ever way you choose. We did the day only and got on the road. We probably should have run over the night before to see it lit up. Anyway, the Corn Palace can be a little corny! Yeah, I had to throw that in. But it was really a much better place to visit than I would ever have imagined. Not everyone is going to like it. But most folks probably will find it worth the time.
