The Monument (444 Mount Rushmore Road, Rapid City, SD 57701) is served by the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center parking structure and a series of surface lots — Lots A, B, and C — that wrap the east and south sides of the complex. Oversized vehicles, including party buses, stage and drop off along the perimeter access roads on the north and east sides of the facility, near the service drives off Mount Rushmore Road close to the main entrance plaza. Because parking assignments at The Monument shift by event type and show, the best move is to call the venue box office at (605) 716-2500 before your event to confirm exactly where your bus should stage.

Check the Monument plan-your-visit page for current event-day guidance before you head out.

The public lots are not the whole access story for a large vehicle: the arena route follows 5th Street to New York Street, then continues north through the gate to Summit Arena Loading Docks 1–5. Your bus parks directly east of the loading docks and west of Lot E3, with the exact approach shown in The Monument Summit Arena production guide.

Summit Arena sits inside The Monument complex, South Dakota's largest arena at more than 12,000 seats. For events at Summit Arena — Rapid City Rush hockey games, concerts, rodeos, and family shows — party buses drop groups at the main entrance plaza off Mount Rushmore Road, on the north side of the complex. The bus then stages in the outer perimeter lots or on the access roads along the east side while your group is inside.

Post-event, arrange a pre-set meet point at the entrance plaza before you go in so nobody is searching for the bus in a crowd. Because drop-off assignments can shift for major events, call the venue at (605) 716-2500 to confirm the current approach for your specific show.

Central States Fairgrounds (800 San Francisco Street, Rapid City, SD 57701) hosts the Central States Fair each August — running August 21 through 29 in 2026 — plus rodeos, concerts, and events year-round. The main vehicle entrance is off San Francisco Street, and the fairgrounds have large open surface lots along San Francisco Street and the surrounding perimeter. Party buses drop groups at the main gate on San Francisco Street, then stage in the outer lots on the west and north sides of the grounds.

During the Fair, lots fill quickly on busy days — plan your arrival early. For large events, call the fairgrounds at (605) 355-3861 to confirm current lot assignments and any oversized-vehicle guidance for your specific date. Check the Central States Fair website for the current event schedule before you go.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial (13000 SD-244 Spur, Keystone, SD 57751) sits about 23 miles southwest of downtown Rapid City via US-16. The NPS operates a dedicated parking structure at the Lincoln Borglum Visitor Center — and buses pay a separate per-vehicle fee at the entrance booth in addition to the per-person admission fee. Per the NPS fee schedule, commercial vehicles and buses are assessed fees at the gate; no advance bus parking reservation is available, so it is first come, first served.

Your party bus parks in the commercial bus parking area near the main entrance, and your group walks through the Avenue of Flags to the viewing area — about a five-minute walk. Here is the critical timing detail: in summer (June through August), the parking structure fills by mid-morning on busy days. Arrive before 9 a.m. on a summer weekend or plan for a wait.

Instead of splitting your group across multiple cars and paying separate vehicle fees for each, one party bus covers everyone together and your group arrives as one.

Large buses have their own entrance lane at Mount Rushmore: Lane Four is marked for buses, trailers, large RVs, and accessible parking, and a staffed attendant directs the bus to the drop-off or commercial bus parking area. Commercial bus parking costs $50 for 24 hours, and overnight parking is not allowed, so your bus unloads, parks near the main entrance, and gets the group moving again without hunting for a separate lot through the Mount Rushmore National Memorial parking page.

Crazy Horse Memorial (12151 Avenue of the Chiefs, Crazy Horse, SD 57730) is about 17 miles from downtown Rapid City. The memorial has its own large surface parking area, and buses and oversized vehicles park in a clearly signed, designated bus and RV parking section of the main lot — separate from standard vehicle parking, and signed on entry. There is no additional charge for bus parking beyond the per-person admission fee.

Your group walks a short distance from the parking area to the visitor complex, the Indian Museum of North America, and the sculptor's studio. The memorial is open year-round, weather permitting, with peak season running May through October. For group rates and to confirm current access details, call the venue directly at (605) 673-4681 or check the Crazy Horse Memorial plan-your-visit page before your trip.

Main Street Square (512 Main Street, Rapid City, SD 57701) is downtown Rapid City's outdoor plaza and event venue — home to concerts, festivals, the winter ice rink, markets, and private events year-round. There is no dedicated published bus loading zone at the plaza itself. Party buses drop groups along Main Street or Saint Joseph Street at the plaza edge with a short-term curb stop, then stage in the nearby public parking areas — the Rushmore Plaza Parking Ramp at 7th and Saint Joseph Street, or the surface lots off 6th Street.

Downtown metered parking is enforced, so the bus does not sit at the curb. Set a post-event meet point on Main Street at the plaza entrance before your group heads in, so everyone knows exactly where to find the bus when the show ends. Call the venue directly at (605) 716-7979 or check the Main Street Square website for current event-day access details.

Book three to six months out for most Rapid City trips, and stretch that to six months or more for the dates that fill the entire region at once. The single tightest window of the year is Sturgis Motorcycle Rally week — running approximately August 7 through 16 in 2026 — when every party bus, hotel room, and vehicle in western South Dakota is in demand simultaneously. The Central States Fair (August 21–29, 2026) follows immediately after and compounds the summer crunch.

Peak Black Hills tourist season runs June through August, so any summer weekend date books faster than the rest of the year. Prom season across Rapid City Area Schools in May fills the local party bus calendar quickly too. For Rapid City Rush hockey at Summit Arena and concerts at The Monument, book as soon as the show goes on sale.

Waiting until the last minute in any of these windows means higher prices, fewer options, or both — so the earlier you call 605-545-9150 or use the online quote tool, the better your selection and your rate!
