The walking tour information was so helpful for our expanding knowledge of the walking through Mount Rushmore. Having the opportunity to take the tour in my time helped immensely especially when you're not as young as the fast pace younger people that were there. Having the information start on its own was amazing and really unique not knowing that it was going to happen. But when they gave you information it was clif hanging information that filled you with knowledge that you never new.

See one of America’s most iconic landmarks up close and delve deep into its complicated history! You’ve seen Mount Rushmore in photos, but seeing it in person is something else entirely. This towering monument to America’s past is truly incredible to behold. But you won’t just be looking—with this self-guided audio tour, you’ll also learn all about this enormous sculpture. Find out who built it, how they built it, and much more as you walk the Presidential Trail. After booking, check your email/text to download the separate Audio Tour Guide App by Action while connected to WiFi or mobile data. Enter the password, download the tour, and enjoy it offline. Follow the audio instructions and route from the designated starting point. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months. This isn't an entrance ticket. Check opening hours before your visit.

Simply amazing!! It was awesome seeing the view in person. Always seen Mt Rushmore on tv but never in person. Well worth the trip and the self guided walking audio tour gives you lots of information and you can do it in your own time. I would definitely do it again.

We liked this audio tour over the official tour provided by the park. Honestly felt this tour explained more about the artist than the official tour.
