Located in Eastern South Dakota, the World’s Only Corn Palace makes a great stop on any Interstate 90 road trip. This multi-use center hosts stage shows, concerts and sports events, but it’s worth a stop even when there’s no live entertainment. What sets this venue apart are the corn murals that adorn the outside of the structure. Each year they are stripped down and new murals are created, so even if you’ve seen the corn palace once, it’s still worth a return visit.

Accessible parking is available in nearby lots, with level access over to the front entrance. Inside there’s plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair throughout the venue. A free guided tour, which includes a video that tells the story of the corn palace is available. Afterwards, visitors are free to browse through the historic exhibits at their own pace. And if you visit in the peak summer season, you’ll mostly likely see folks adding new murals to the outside facade. Don’t forget to get your photo taken with the statue of Cornelius, the World’s Only Corn Palace mascot. He’s located across the street form the corn palace — just look for the giant ear of corn!
