Buffalo Bill Center of the West - Cody, Wyoming

Very amazing museum experience would recommend highly, the collection at the Cody museum of firearms is first class with everything from post Renaissance German match and wheel locks to modern military arms, obscure patterns, prototypes and curiosities. Very thorough collection of late 1800s wild West firearms and they even have a few punt guns (look it up they're awesome). Amazing place for firearms history buffs alike and people very new to firearms as well. They have many foreign and domestic firearms at the library downstairs. Can easily spend all day just in the firearms section. Unfortunately the firearms science section was closed off but looking forward to seeing it another day. Also checked out the art museum which is also amazing even for people very new to art, have a lot of fantastic pieces unique to this part of Wyoming. Didn't get to see much of the natural history museum but seemed very cool. Defined plan more than a day if you want to see everything. Gift shop is very nice as well with work made by local craftsmen and artists. This place is amazing and definitely a must to visit if you're in the Cody or Yellowstone area.

Such a fun museum. Had several interactive displays for children. Make sure to watch the raptor show! Staff is very friendly and informative. Spent 5 hours looking through all the displays, definitely an all day adventure!

What a very nice set of museums! We were greeted and checked in by Jeff, who was extremely nice and friendly. As we walked through the museums, we spoke with more employees, who were just as nice and knowledgeable. There’s so much to see, it’s nice they offer the two day ticket. We got to watch the wild raptor presentation which was so informative.

A great place to visit and learn. It's a huge museum where you'll need at least 2 days to be able to see the most. One ticket is good for two days.

There are a series of 5 museums depicting the western frontier within the complex. $23 dollars gets you two days of an amazing experience. This is a must see if you are in Cody, Wyoming. Each museum has a scavenger hunt for the kids. There is a cafeteria if you are hungry. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is also a gift shop with lots of items to buy. I highly recommend this experience.
