What an interesting place - we drove out from Sioux Falls on 1/27/17 - had a lot of fun reading all the information off the walls, seeing the change of the murals through the years and the evolution of art through corn. The ability to take an ear of corn in multiple colors nail it to a wall, and put it together in a way that the eye can take the color changes and SEE the mural as it was meant to be seen. What was really cool is that we were there on a Saturday afternoon while the High School boys were warming up for the Friday nite game. A great stop along the way.
Pun intended - this place was corny. I was expecting a palace made entirely out of corn, not a gym decorated in corn. We spent about 20 minutes here, which may have been 15 minutes too long. The artwork, however, was impressive, just not what I was expecting.
Definitely in my top 3 corn palaces of all time. Go in the Summer when it's in season otherwise it could be a bit dry and rough. Probably in the top 10 corn based landmarks in the Western Hemisphere. Right near the Corn Exchange if you wish to buy, sell, and exchange cobs of all origins. Overall this is probably a 9.5/10, only missing half a point due to the fact that I was kicked out when I licked the murals.

Reviews
The Mitchell Corn Palace in South Dakota has garnered mixed reviews from visitors. Some found it to be a unique and interesting stop, appreciating the artwork made of corn and the historical movie shown on-site. Others were disappointed by the construction mess during their visit, stale souvenirs, or unmet expectations. However, many praised the dedication of the town to maintaining this iconic landmark and its rich history.Review score

Under extensive reconstruction and should be closed until it's finished! It's off the highway quite a bit to see a construction mess with souvenirs made in China. We bought candy corn that wasn't edible because it was so stale. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I believe it will be interesting once reconstruction is over. But, please, close it until then!!
Well, it breaks up the long drive on the I-90, so it's not all bad, and the historical movie that they show is interesting. The Art they make with the corn is nice, but it's a half hour visit at most.
