The bus tour and options of breakfast & dinner at Fort Hays isn't for everyone. If Mount Rushmore is on your bucket list and you only have 1 day - this isn't for you - you are only there for 1 hour. The bus is an older model ( the guide said most newer ones are too big to get through Needle Highways) don't expect comfort . We were a group of 6 (2 seniors, 2 adults, 2 boys 11 & 7). My daughter's family added the breakfast and dinner (plus show) at Fort Hays option. We just arrived in time to do the bus tour with them. My daughter said the food was very good at both meals. If you add those meals it is a looong day - the 7 year old was absolutely fried by the end of the bus tour. The guide, Gary, was very engaging and knowledgeable. I was surprised that he shook hands with everyone as we boarded and again at the end when we returned to Fort Hays (pack hand sanitizer). The lunch break at State Game Lodge was a buffet, which I had never thought I would experience again. The tour's website says you can order from a menu, but I don't remember if that was offered as we streamed in to pay at the front and be seated. The food was good. The Crazy Horse was fairly adequate in time, but the way you enter, you never see the part that has actually been completed. Just my opinion, but it seems like Korczak Ziolkowki's family has done pretty well, for a still uncompleted memorial. After touring the Crazy Horse Tourist Center, it is clear that someone is making money hand over fist. The bus tour's drive through Needles Highway is a high point. How often do you see biker's doing the sign of the cross, while other biker's give you a thumb's up, while your tour bus enters a tunnel? When we were going into the tightest tunnel, a crowd gathered a the opposite end, filming us! There are other stops that I haven't mentioned and throughout, Gary would pull over and give folks the option of getting off for a few minutes to take pictures. This tour has good/bad points and tourists just need to evaluate if it would suit their needs.
