This was a great experience and I visited a dozen or so times with I was in the neighborhood. They have some really excellent rare stuff as well as the more common stuff. A little hard to get health food here but you might find something with real sugar and no artificial flavors. Obviously all about nostalgia and walking into a place of wonder and amazement surrounded by candy fun. I also had the latte one time. Great responsive service act read more

It's like Willy Wonka's - almost - nothing but sugary goodness (there are sugar free candies too tho). Had to stop here and try some huckleberry ice cream. Loved the candy by the pound and nostalgic candies they have. Rows and rows of everything as you can see. We bought some taffy for our ride home. Very clean. Has tables to enjoy whatever goody you bought. read more

A fun place full of nostalgia. You can get, not only candy, but gifts and even coffee. We visited on a rainy day, so having a salted caramel cappuccino was delightful. There's something for everybody, and the staff is super friendly. read more

Great variety of candy for all the kids. So much to choose from. Price is a little expensive, though. But we were on vacation, so it didn't bother us. read more

I'm rating it three stars because we stopped for the ice cream and drinks, but it was just specialty sodas lining the wall. I was hoping for fountain drinks too and some sweet tea to go. Also, I was hoping there would be at least one dairy free option for ice cream but none. The candy was cool! There's so much to choose from; however, I didn't even see M&ms and those are advertised on the outside of the building! I love M&ms so I was hoping for something new. Just a few specific items we thought this candy store would definitely have, but they didn't. The overall location is cool to browse though. read more

A tourist trap for sure but a great place to grab something sweet to satisfy your cravings. There is a lot of choices to be found here although I was a little bummed by the lack of some older nostalgic flavors (where my Chik-O-Sticks at???). We tried one of their caramel apples and some flavored popcorn. The caramel apple was well priced at $5.99 for the size, flavor, and amount of caramel and topping on it. The caramel was extra chewy and had a good flavor. If we go back, I would focus on buying something from the fresh, house made confectionary case and not so much on the pre-packaged candy. Prices on the fresh candies were way better than the packaged, marketed stuff and let's be honest here, nothing beats fresh, homemade caramel! read more

This place has it all. Before you make your way to Mount Rushmore, make sure and stop by to grab an enormous selection of candy. This place is a must. Whether you are young, or young at heart, you will find a delicious treat. Everyone here is ready to lend a helping hand. The environment is very inviting. Don't be surprised if you find yourself shopping for a good period of time. With so many selections, it's hard to decide what to purchase. This is definitely a must stop. Everyone will find something to take home with them. read more

Found this along the highway heading back from Mount Rushmore. If you like candy you love this place. Any candy you can think of they have. They even have a "nostalgic" candy section. Tons of taffy flavors and tons of bottled drink flavors. Santa and the Grinch were there to take pictures with kids because it was December. Service was fabulous! Fun slinkies having from the ceiling and swirling lights as you walk in. It's like a party! Spent about 30 mins inside. Have fun! read more

Sooooo disappointed! I spent almost $200 on candy in the place leaving Mt Rushmore and it was terrible. Stay away from the saltwater taffy it is all stale.....not just a few flavors but all! I bought literally every flavor and all were hard...bulk tootsie rolls like bricks..... There are some bright spots ..... hey have a great pre-packaged candy section and an endless inventory of bottled soda......I'm just so disappointed that the center piece of the bulk candy section was old and stale....simple inexcusable in a "bulk " candy store.... I wanted to love this place but man how disappointed especially at $10.99 per pound read more

Fun little stop on the way to Mount Rushmore. Lots of cool options. We got the chocolate covered pickle and bacon! So interesting not too bad. read more

This place has any candy you can think of along with specialty sodas and wine. My kids had a blast here.

It was a fun stop. There are so many candy options. There is something for everyone. If you're feeling adventurous, try their chocolate covered pickle and the chocolate covered chili. I personally love the chili, not so much the pickel. I also picked up some hard candy and coffee. read more

This was one of the most impressive shopping establishments I have ever been to! The entire experience is sure to leave to grinning from ear to ear. I originally came to Rushmore Candy to ask for a donation for the non profit I represent. When I came back to pick up the basket full of candy they had put together for us, I brought one of my kids. We had a blast walking the store and shopping. It was clean and arranged so well! The prices were affordable and easy to figure out for the candy sold by weight. We will definitely be back!!! read more

If you need your candy fix, this is the place to go. There are a couple of reason's why I am giving four stars instead of 5. The first reason is the strobe lights (or whatever they were) that are on the walls that are at the entrance.....it can be very disorienting. The other reason is that when you go straight you are trapped in that area and have to turn around and up and around to get to the upper area. It was very irritating to see something that I might want in that area (and not grab it at the time) and then have to go thru a bunch of steps to get to it when I decided later in my shopping that I wanted it. It would have been so nice if all areas were open to each other instead of having to go around. I really can't describe it better. The walls that were on the upper deck were lined with a bunch of bulk candy, just about anything you could think of. There was also maybe 30 different flavors of popcorn. In the attached shopping area was a bunch of candy that could be called "retro" and a candy counter. We got a caramel apple, and while it was real pretty and had lots of caramel and goodies on it the apple itself was pretty flavorless. We also got some of the bulk candy (no complaints), and we got some strawberry jalapeno jam that I can't wait to try on some crackers along with some cream cheese. It was an interesting way to take a time out from all of the traveling we were doing that day. read more

Rushmore Candy Company - the front of the building - Candy Stores Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

I was so excited to be back in the area and see this building turned into a candy store. It's massive with tons to choose from along with many SD souvenirs and local products. They have a confectionary counter with nice truffles, cake pops, and Bob bins but also some crazy unique items such as chocolate covered bacon, pickles, hot peppers. I didn't try any ice cream but what I saw others eating it looked very good and must have been because many people were carrying around ice cream while shopping. The prices were very reasonable considering this is such a high traffic tourist stop. read more

Biggest candy store I've seen in this country! I stopped there on a cross-country road-trip. Definitely worth the stop! Taffy, Jelly Belly, and many other candies available in bulk or prepackaged. Almost anything out there is a available here. They have a wide variety of soda pop, too. I also bought some nice non-candy gifts. read more
