Dr. Zapata

Wow, this place is amazing. There are several exhibitions, the art, the buffalo bill and the firearm sections were my favorites. These were impressive. The native American section is nice but is limited, I have been to the Smithsonian one in the national Mall and it is much better.

This is a fantastic museum! Your ticket is good for 2 days. It's several museums in 1 spot. Make sure you look for the box with the embosser for a unique keepsake. It stamps a seal on your booklet at different stations. The men will even love this stop, it has a great firearms museum. Must see if you come thru Cody.

Very nice museum(s). The different areas were well put together and everything was so clean and well lit. They have done a great job! Take 2 days to see it all...

This place, you don't want to miss, some of the best exhibits we've ever seen. The entrance fee covers x2 days. You will need every minute of those 2 days to see everything. The Gun museum is phenomenal. I learned more than I expected about the guns on display. The Buffalo Bill Cody wing is very detailed and gives an honest view of his life. To include his successes & short falls. Very intriguing. The icing on the cake is the natural history wing. The exhibits give a detailed view of how each animal lived and their habitats. Each one beautifully detailed and educational. On our last visit we were treated to a Raptor encounter. The focus was on Red tail Hawks and Periguin Falcons. Such beautiful creatures. The handlers were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to educate visitors about these raptors. The raptors are there due to previous injuries that prevents them from returning to the wild. They even have a resident Bald Eagle you must see.

This was one of the most informative museums I have been to in a long time! What a find! So much information on. Buffalo Bill and Wyoming history! You could spend a whole day here! The gun exhibit is absolutely incredible. Hundreds if not thousands of vintage and modern weapons that were used. Fascinating to watch and learn the history of them. What an incredible collection. The art exhibits are fantastic with some oil paintings you mistake for a photo. The details are incredible. Its clean, organized and so quiet for a nice stroll to learn something new. They have a cafeteria and great options for your whole family even a salad bar with plenty of seating! Refillable drinks, coffee, snacks.... and even an outdoor playground when the kids get restless. An absolute gem!

Loved this place!! It was so cool! Lots of history and enjoyed a lot of the exhibits. They have a g*n exhibit that was huge if you’re into that sort of thing. Lots of indigenous art, paintings, period pieces and biology lessons. Would go back to spend more time if I could! We spent about 2 hours but could have stayed longer.
