Very fun for the family! You must snag a popcorn ball from the snack bar! Best $3 I've spent in a long time. Definitely go upstairs and on to the balcony overlooking street -- great vantage point. 2016 theme is Rock of Ages!

Just a heads-up: the Corn Palace is being renovated and the domes have been taken down. In addition, they are not lighting the building at night. You can still tour the interior and there are interesting murals on the outside walls. Don't miss the corn statue across the street.
[RK Caton, 07/06/2015]The exterior of the Corn Palace was supposed to be completely renovated by Memorial Day weekend, but various SNAFUs have kept it a work-in-progress well into the 2015 summer travel season.
They are refurbishing, so, most of the exterior corn murals are gone or incomplete. They still have some inside, will be beautiful when done in 2016.
