Drove from Edmonton, Canada to see it in August. 10/10 would recommend for everyone to see before they die!!

We had coffee and the mini donuts. The mini donuts were excellent, the coffee not so much.

Yummy ice cream! I tried the choco-mint flavor and it was fantastic. The line was pretty long, but totally worth it—seems like a must-try when visiting Mt. Rushmore!

I got the strawberry cheesecake flavor and I have to say, no other ice cream will ever measure up. This ice cream was so light and creamy and the taste was phenomenal! If I ever come back to Mount Rushmore, it will be for the ice cream 😁

Thank you, Mr. Thomas Jefferson, for the delicious vanilla ice cream! We tried all kinds of ice cream! It was delicious!

During my recent trip up to Mount Rushmore, I got the opportunity to have this great Ice Cream. When it comes to this Ice Cream Place, it is oriented in the same building as the Carver Cafe and tastes the greatest.
When it comes to the Ice Cream varieties that they generally offer, they offer a diversity of distinct flavors that you would not find either way in other prominent attractions that are known to welcome millions a year. I had the Thomas Jefferson Vanilla and the Strawberry Cheesecake, which were both immaculate and a great incorporation of American History in Food and the modern establishment of the Frozen Dairy Dessert following the origins in France during the late 18th century when Jefferson brought the recipe of French Vanilla to the United States during his time as the French Ambassador.

Make sure to come here whenever you are coming to Mount Rushmore at nighttime. And for a great price of $7.50, you could get a large, two-scoop portion for the cost of what one would be at Cold Stone.

Heading into my visit to Mount Rushmore, ice cream wasn’t exactly at the top of my mind but I had heard about the famous Thomas Jefferson Vanilla and knew I had to try it.

During our afternoon visit, I ordered one scoop of Thomas Jefferson Vanilla and one scoop of chocolate. The vanilla flavor truly surprised me, it had a richness and depth that really stood out. I’m usually not a big fan of vanilla, but this one was exceptional. The chocolate was also very good and paired well with it.

We returned the following evening for the nighttime program, and I couldn’t resist going back for more. That time, I had one scoop of Thomas Jefferson Vanilla and one scoop of strawberry, both were excellent.

The portions were generous, and while prices are a bit higher, it’s understandable given the location.

Tip: If you’re looking for a fun, inexpensive souvenir, you can purchase the recipe for Thomas Jefferson Vanilla ice cream for just $1.

Visiting Mount Rushmore is an experience in itself, but enjoying some ice cream while taking in the views definitely made it even sweeter.

We had to try the Thomas Jefferson ice cream and it was absolutely delicious! Now every time we visit Mt. Rushmore we have to get ice cream. We have tried almost every flavor and they are all delicious! (Sorry, I took the pictures part way through eating)

Tasty ice cream. The TJ vanilla and the Huckleberry were highlights. Great staff, cool view!

Tasted good and line went fast. Was more ice cream then expected.

How can you be out of TJ Vanilla Ice cream AT Mount Rushmoore?!? This was actually very disappointing and one of the things we were looking forward to while visiting the monument.
