At first I wasn't going to try to review nor was I going to show these photos on Social Media. But I drove five and a half hours to come see Mount Rushmore. I was so pumped so excited, wanted to see it all my life. It was doing the early stages of covid-19. I made the drive all the way out there after being told they would be open. They closed it as I drove up to the check in. So I I was okay with it I got to see side profile of Mount Rushmore. On my way back down is when I noticed the presidential wax museum open, atleast that was something. A Nice young lady at the desk helped me start the tour. I proceeded to get behind the presidential podium, begin to emulate President Obama, we laughed. I moved on with my tour. I proceeded to the left and was meet with Pres. Trumps Wax figure and his section of the museum. It looked almost as if Donald Trump were standing in the display. He was surrounded by his MaGa slogan and well painted backdrop. In front of his Display was a wall full of Trump 2020 MaGa all over it and Cool i thought, cant wait to see President Obamas display. That is untill I turned and saw President Obamas wax figure, and display. I'm going to be frank I was appalled at what I saw. You had a black person who leaning to the side, with white powdery hands. The wax figure you had in that display looking nothing Like President Obama. On top of that he only had two posters in his display. Change and Obamacare. In comparison to what Pres. Trumps display, and just so you know I'm not just picking his display out of the bunch, but all other Presidents had been given the same level of care and detail as Pres. Trump. With that said, just because they have different policies and procedures, you may not have cared for Obama how he ran the country. But he was elected as a president of these United States of America. He deserves the same respect to his display all the other Presidents. I sure hope and pray, that you can try and see how that affected me. I Am a proud American, and yes my skin color is Brown. But I am also a Veteran Of this Country.

“Educational value, must visit”.

My recent visit to the National Presidential Wax Museum located in Keystone had left a lasting impression.

This museum is a fantastic showcase of our great presidents and their key milestones, including a poignant wax statue of President Bush at Ground Zero on the tragic 9/11. It’s a powerful reminder of our nation’s history.

In addition to the presidents, the wax statues also include figures like Alexander Graham Bell, Neil Armstrong, and Thomas Edison.

The highlight of the museum, especially for families, is the replica of the White House briefing hall. Watching kids step into the roles of presidents and parents capturing these priceless moments with their cameras is heartwarming.

The museum also offers an onsite gift shop with a wide range of presidential memorabilia. I appreciated that the representative gave me consent to take pictures for this review, which speaks to their friendly and accommodating service.

I highly recommend visiting the National Presidential Wax Museum; it’s a must-see attraction. It offers a unique perspective on our nation’s history and provides a memorable experience for visitors...

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and all the attention that went into the statues, the scenes in which the characters were displayed, and the amount of history I learned from the wand/number system. Why I'm giving this place 2 stars is because I thought I was coming to a place that would be impartial to the garbage that is happening in politics, but it's very clear the family who own this are Democrats. Their glowing story of Obama and the lying bologna on Trumps, saying he spent the majority of time in his early Presidential career focusing on his family's business, lies. Also they sold many anti-Trump toys and even a doll of Trump that would be used as a anti-stress tool by hitting it against something, a clock counting down Trumps last day in office and a Trump troll doll. They only sold Democrat pins and in no way sold anything mocking or making fun of any other president. Really...

Awesome place. Spectacular. Tremendous. Best you'll ever see. Biggest wax museum in the whole world. No lie. Very epic place. In all seriousness it is really nice and 95% of the figures are extraordinarily realistic. The other 5% are good but you can tell that certain sculptors were better than others. The exhibits are easy to go through and the guided tour is also nice and convenient as well. It's awesome to take a walk through our country's history, the good's bad's and uglies. The gift shop is also pretty cool. Purchased a few items from it and the prices were expensive but it is Mount Rushmore so what do you expect. The whole place is really nice and in an awesome, however busy and touristy, area. Well if you read this whole thing I commend you and wish you good day. Happy travels and enjoy the show.
