Fabulous museum as the inside is a great design with a great collection of western history. The have the Lone Rangers gun and holster, plus Little Joes gun and holster from Bananza. Took me back to my childhood. It also has the Deadwood Stage.

WOW! What a great place to visit! Plan more than one day if you want to explore it all. This is a really fun place to see how the West was won. A lot of great history and the exhibits are very well described and the entire museum is very well laid out. A great place for the whole family.

I am very sorry to say I am incredibly disappointed in this museums choice of staff.. the harassment I received on my visit there with some friends who were members was disturbing and disrespectful in the extreme.I am not for forced mask wearing and do not like the lack of understanding that I received. There was plenty of room for us to remain 6 feet apart if necessary and I had a drink I was trying to drink. I was rudely spoken to and followed around. I will never return to this museum unless said behavior is corrected and the public is allowed to speak clearly and the staff and workers at the Cody Museum understand the difference between a Law and Mandate. It is illegal to try to enforce something that is NOT a law and therefore a REQUEST to the public if they find they find it necessary for their safety. The disrespect shown to the public that pays to make your museum possible is completely disgusting and you should be embarrassed. I pray for better service and hope I can come back in the future and leave a different review. At this point I’m disgusted and never plan on returning. Thank you, but thank you for nothing!

We were in Cody to visit friends at the beginning of our 9 week journey camping around the country. We spent one day visiting the museum with our friend. There are 5 museums here each totalling a football field sized space. We visited 3 of the museums and were exhausted! You can even have a nice lunch inside the museum which we did.Well have to make another trip to Cody to see the rest of the museum (your pass is good for two or three days so you can see everything).We highly recommend visiting the Buffalo Bill Center of the West when you are in Cody!

The place is quite large inside but what I love about it is that you can do it in a day, or you can do it in 2 days (your pass is good for 2 days regardless). Being that I was only in town for a day and a half, I dedicated most of 1 day (hours were from 8am - 5pm) to the museum and felt that I got everything I needed from all 5 exhibits. The raptor show was also neat, especially if you have kids (and it’s free). Also my souvenir mug from the gift shop was only $5 and it’s good quality so that made the museum even better!

So Im very skeptical of what can be seen as a tourist trap. And this can definitely be considered that, however this was hands down the best tourist trap Ive ever been in. 5 museums in one building, a meet the raptors show which was very cool to see some birds of prey up close that were being taken care of by the place. Your ticket is good for two days and you could easily spend two days here. The gun museum alone could take an entire day for anyone whos an aficionado. They offered masks if you didnt have one and hand sanitizer all over.

These five connected museums are the equal of any place in any major city - maybe superior to a lot of them. There arent enough superlatives to describe the quality of the collections, the presentations, or even the informed staff. I walked in at 9am and didnt stop looking until the 4:30 announcement that the place was closing in half an hour... a second day would have been better to catch everything. I liked it so much I joined; maybe that will help bring me back to Wyoming!

Take your time, so much to see! Very well laid out. Very clean. History worth reading about. Even had the buffalo chili,great & the corn chowder too! Spent 4 hours and we are going back tomorrow.

Wow, this place should take you a full day and you could spend two days if you really looked at everything carefully.Absolutely one of the best museum type outfits you will ever go into, especially if youre into the West5 museums in one! The Firearms Museum alone is worth the price of admission and you will go gun blind and become numb to all the amazingly cleaned up and displayed firearms in this Museumalthough they only claim to display less than 1/3 of the total collection whats on display is more than I probably seen in all the different museums Ive been to put together, Ive never seen so many perfect condition firearms in one place!If the Acres of glass display cases and wall cases Arent Enough, throughout the museum there are drawers you can pull out that have even more displayed and labeled firearms.The Wild Bill Cody Museum is also well worth the time, the old black-and-white videos of the original show are more than amazing and would be well-attended if you could actually put on this kind of Extravaganza today. With all the rules regulations I dont think you could possibly put this kind of show on in todays world. The history of Buffalo Bill the American Road show ,the International Road Show and all the amazing things that were accomplished, is far more than I ever imagined and well worth the read and the time.There is also a natural history museum with dinosaurs and a plains Indian museumPlan a day or more if you can spare it as there is lots and lots and lots to see here

The wife and I spent an easy 4 hours or more here. Lots of wildlife i go, wild west exhibits, and guns!

This museum is outstanding! There is the history of Wild Bill Cody, an impressive studio where you can watch leather smiths make saddles, a wonderful display of guns and the history behind them, and a wonderful section on Native American art, culture, history and beliefs. There is also a cafeteria, coffeehouse and gift shop. Adult ticket is $19.75(but that is for a 2 day admission). Kids 5 and under are free.

This is one great museum. Smithsonian quality displays for adults and children alike. Plenty of interactive stations for children of all ages. The firearm museum has over 7,000 guns and does a great job at showing innovation from the 17th century onward. Make sure to check out the natural history museum, Indians of the plains museum, and the buffalo bill museum; All fascinating. Real food, not just snacks, is available in the cafeteria, the gift shop is expensive but has some cool items.

One of the best museums you will ever visit. Informative and interactive. I could easily spend more than a day there.

5 museums in one. Loved this history. Very clean, informative.I WOULD recommend.

This museum is very deceptive from the outside. Its 7.5 acres of amazing artifacts, history, original art, and so much more. Your ticket will be good for 2 days, and its a good thing. If your like to see it all and read everything like I do, it will take the better part if both days, so carve out some time and make it happen. You will be glad you did!

Every time I go here, I see things I didnt see the last time. This time my friend was more interested in the guns. So many beautiful inlaid barrels , and stocks. Theyve got many guns set up so the children can practice firing them. I tried them all out! So many historical guns that were made even before we could call them guns, more like Canons. I learned so much. The outdoor presentation of the birds was very enlightening. I really love the Cody Museum

I am a natural skeptic of tourist attractions, but this museum is a first class exhibit. Its a must stop if you pass through Cody. Wish I had more time.The Western art collection remains the real treasure of this center. Bit theres something for everyone.Located on a highly visible corner, and you will find adequate parking. Visited this town about 45 years ago. Much is new...and this center is a vast improvement.

What can I say? excellent museum and information center! Definitely stop at the chuck wagon out front and get some of Cookies beans, biscuits and coffee!

This is a fabulous museum, which is actually multiple museums within one big building. If you are a gun enthusiast you will be in heaven. This is a huge collection. There is also a snack bar and tables, so you can take rest if needed. The Buffalo Bill section is very interesting, the art section has some great painting from several different artists. Kids, and adults as well, can learn about nature in the natural history area. Highly recommend stopping here. You can even get your ticket dated and come back to finish your tour on another day if it is too much to do in one day, which it really is.

Its huge inside! Definitely need two days to check out the whole thing! Good thing your ticket can be used the next day! So much history! They have a bold eagle and explain to you about the birds that they have rescue but cant go back to the wild! Cute playground for kids! Has different sections, western, natives and about the wild animals you can find!

Very well set up exhibits. I spent two afternoons there and still didnt see everything. By the way the entrance fee is for two days. And they have an espresso shop and a cafeteria style restaurant (only open 11 to 2). And nice outside areas to relax and give your feet a break. Highly recommend it.

This is a MUST SEE attraction if you are going to Yellowstone. If you love the Wild West you won’t be disappointed. I never knew how much US History Buffalo Bill was involved in! We were in Cody from July 1-4 of 2019 and went here on the 100th anniversary of the Cody Stampede. Great time!

One of the BEST museums Ive ever been to..actually 5 museums in one...Buffalo Bill, Western art, plains Indians, natural history, and firearms. Tickets are good for 2 days...its that big!

Its basically for museums in one! Theres a natural history Museum, (make sure to pick up an adventure passport!), A buffalo bill museum, a firearms museum, and a native American Museum! Its really cool with lots of stuff to see, no matter what your interests are!

Awesome place! Five different museums in one building. We liked the gun museum & the Buffalo Bill Codys museum the best. The Native Indian museum was very interesting too.Everyone needs to visit this attraction when in Cody, WY! Five stars for sure!

Tons of different stuff. artwork, restaurant and gift shop. 5 different museums here can spend all day looking !

Insanely awesome and exhaustive museum. I could spend days here.

This is really a wonderful museum. This was possibly the largest gun collection Ive ever seen. History buffs will love the Buffalo Bill exhibit and the history on Cody itself. My personal favorite was the natural history museum. There are multiple levels and each one presents a different mountain climate. We missed the raptor presentation so heads up be sure to check when the raptors will be out.

The highlight of a week-long road trip that included Mt Rushmore and Yellowstone was actually the Buffalo Bill Center.I particularly enjoyed the natural history exhibit, with the fantastic descent from the upper mountains to the plains, the moving statements in the Plains Indians exhibit, and the sheet quantity of firearms in the gun museum.Theres something here for everyone, and it was well worth the price of admission and the 4 hours we spent.

So awesome an experience for sure. Anyone who is visiting Cody should definitely add this to your list you could easily spend all day here. I personally loved the firearm museum it was overwhelming.

This is a great museum with a lot of interesting history. We only had time for 3 exhibits, but thoroughly enjoyed them. Definitely plan to spend a half day or longer here, or break your trip up into several days. The Buffalo Bill exhibit is a must with so many interesting artifacts! The firearms exhibit is incredibly interesting and offers one of the largest firearms exhibits in the nation.

I can see why the tickets are valid for 2 days. This place is huge. We will definitely come back when we have more time to do the place justice. The raptor show was great

Great museum to visit. Lots of history and interesting exhibits. Amazing Raptors show. Also, they have the largest gun collection in US.

This is the BEST western museum I have ever seen! We flew through all of the sections of the museums and it still took us 4.5 hours. Give yourself 2 days to enjoy all that it has to offer.

Everything is great. I enjoyed all of the exhibits. Lots of arts, guns, and information on the area including wildlife, Bill Cody, and the native Americans. It takes around two days to look through it all.

Great place, very well done! Our kids love it and the staff is so nice! We have a yearly membership, we will be back!

This is a great museum experience! Beautiful, clean, with wonderful exhibits. Give yourself 1-3 hours to enjoy all it has to offer. The firearms exhibit is expansive, impressive, and interactive. The outdoor playground is closed currently for Covid19 restrictions as are some of the other interactive exhibits for kids. Didnt utilize any food amenities but they smelled delicious. A must see if youre in Cody.

We stayed as long as we could. Id definitely recommend going for 2 days if you can! Your ticket will be good for 2 days. We hurried and rushed through all 5 museums in one day, but we couldve easily spent 2 days there. Beautiful museum!

What a wonderful collection of museums, all for one price! Some people may balk at the entry fee, but it is well worth it!

Excellent museum with an interesting variety of topics including the life story of Buffalo Bill, the depiction of western wild life, and the history of firearms. The architecture of the structure was well designed and the restrooms were clean.

This is a must visit if in the area of yellowstone or cody, its absolutely amazing the number of guns,

Unbelievable! Five different areas to visit. Took us 2 days to see it all...luckily the pass was for 2 days! A wonderful collection of authentic old western memorabilia. Also included the Native Americans who lived in the area and their way of life. Just remarkable.

What a wonderful experience. We only had one day but wished we had two as recommended. Will definitely return to see more and revisit favorites.

We had 4 hours to enjoy this complex and it wasnt enough time. Theres a gun/rifle collection, western art museum, Indian collection, Buffalo Bills history, and a natural science wing where you can see all the local wildlife (stuffed) in natural scenes, starting with river life on the ground floor and up to the mountain tops as you climb upwards.

Absolutely beautiful museum with TONS of history from the old west to present. The Whitney Art gallery has the most beautiful paintings by Charles Russell and Fredrick Remington and many others. The firearms gallery contain many guns from old TV westerns like Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Have Gun Will Travel. Absolutely wonderful. The Plains Indian Gallery is awesome. You could easily spend two days there. Buffalo Bills ( William F. Cody) section is full of his personal belongings as well of his Wild West Show. Its more then well worth the trip to Cody Wyoming.

So glad we spent the day here. Very detailed and with so much to see and do. The guns collection is like nothing you have ever seen!

Second visit. Actually several museums under one roof. Terrific firearms displays. Beautiful Western art. A most educational Plains Indian display.

You have no idea how big this place is untill you get inside. Everything is presented beautifully and the art gallery is something to see on its on. I spent 2 and half hours there and didnt realize it untill my stomach started growling and I looked at my watch..lol Cody, Wy has a treasure here and I hope they appreciate it ,as much as I do.

Incredible museum. Who knew a town of under 10K could have a museum this huge. You cannot see it in one day. Buffalo Bill Museum, firearms museum (best Ive ever seen), natural history, wildlife, western art, women of the west, aviary, saddle and leather works presenters. Seriously, you have to pick and choose unless you have 3+ days. Staff is outstanding.

If your in cody you got to go its so cool

I was surprised at the quality of these museums - In Cody Wyoming. The gun and firearms section was amazing. Well worth the $20 fee.

Great place. Plan a day or more. Rv parking but no overnight. Small food court. One admission gets you two days.

I don’t hand out 5 stars and often go against the crowd in my reviews. This place deserves nothing but the best in its reviews. Plenty of free parking, beautiful inside and out. The gift shop was nicer than I wanted it to be (my kids liked it too much). The gun history section is unmatched as far as I know and all the other areas are amazing as well. You can easily spend all day here but its not overly large. We spent 2 hours here (small children in tow) and didn’t quite see everything. If you are in Cody...spend some time here.

Very informative. A lot to take in. So go at your own pace.

This was the most comprehensive firearms collection and wonderfully documented museum Ive ever experienced. There isnt probably a single person reading this that would have been tolerant to the time I spent in the exhibit alone. There is apprentice leather makers tooling saddles, boots, belts, etc. The art exhibit was everything I find wonderful about nature in a painting, while the wildlife on display we great as well.

Fantastic centre of education. Each wing offers select experiences to maximize visitation. Truly a landmark in museum success and recognising the value points of a diverse demographic.The exhibits in each wing are top tier, ranging from fossils and taxidermy to ten thousand dollar 1860s Realism paintings.It is evident from a single wing how the local school boards make field trips here part of their county curriculum.

This place is a must for any traveler going to Cody. Multiple days to finish if needed. The Gun exhibit is huge to say the least. The natural history museum is also very well done.

Love this museum! Was there years ago and talked about it to everyone back then. Had a chance to go back and took it. They have improved the Center since my last visit. Loved it even more.

This museum was so beautiful & I learned a lot about Native American history & about Buffalo Bill. All the art works, in which theyre partnered with the Whitney Museum of Art is so... beautiful. Even my teenagers who have no intetest in art or history enjoyed this museum.

There is so much to see here that your admission fee is good for 2 days. Which you will certainly need. Some of the ineractive displays ate no longer operational due to covid-19.

A must see. Huge inside with Indian artifacts and the life history of Buffalo Bill with his family and his accomplishments.

Very interesting. We didnt have much time before closing. We appreciated that we were given a reduced price.

Really enjoyed the Buffalo Bill section of the museum along with the wild life and Yellowstone center. A great way to spend a day.

I expected a typical tourist trap, but this place was amazing. Really an amazing place and cool experience.

The most spectacular museum in the west! So much cultural and regional information on display there. The very best gun museum ever, period. This place is worth every penny, and best of all, you get two days of entry because you probably cant see it all in one day. Make time for the raptor show, their hawks and eagles are spectacular.

A fascinating five museums it will take two days to peruse all of them. History, artifacts, art. Background on most everything. Must see at least once when in Cody, Wyoming.

Its HUGE inside!! So much to see and do! If you wanted to know anything about the old west, this is the place! A must when in Cody, WY.

This is an absolute must see! If you love history of out great country. Do it! You need ample time to see it all.. And the gun museum is incredible!

One of the most interesting museums you will ever have the opportunity to visit. Great way to start off your vacation if you are ever passing through Cody, WY. This was my second visit and still havent seen all the museum has to offer.

Absolutely amazing place. Tons of history, kept my kids interested for hours. One afternoon was not nearly enough time to take it all in.If you like hunting/shooting/history the firearms museum is incredible and recently renovated. Lots a ways to teach your kids positive things about weapons.I also found their history exhibits to be fair minded and informative without pushing a particular political or social agenda. Nice to see history told with a fair mind toward both sides. We will be back for sure!

The different collections at this museum are thorough and well presented. I particularly enjoyed the natural history and Native American collections. Skip the childhood home out back, but make sure you take the time to explore everything else.

World class museum with outstanding exhibits in every wing. The tickets are good for two days because it takes that long to see it all.

Awesome place if there where more stars I would give it!

Fantastic museum and place to learn! Our 6yo loved it and so did we! Everything is very well presented and they have plenty for the younger audience...there’s even a great playground outside of the weather allows! We didn’t eat there but it looked yummy. We really enjoyed our visit.

What an amazing place!! 5 museums in one building and they give you 2 days to go through it.. well worth the money a must see!!!

For a smaller town I was really impressed at the quality of this museum. Excellent information on the area and Buffalo Bill.

Try to carve out a day or two for this exraordinary museum. Its a must see for travelers and Westerners alike. I have been twice in the past few years and would jump at the chance to go again.

Great place! Five museums connected together: natural history, American Indian, Buffalo Bill, art and firearms museum. Your ticket is good for two days and if you read all the information available on all the exhibits it would take that long. But you can see the whole place and investigate the things that interest you in four hours or so. Next time Im in Cody Ill go back!

So much to see and learn. A must if youre visiting Cody

Absolutely love this museum! We always need more time to check everything out!

I love this museum. If you have the time I recommend that you watch the Relaxing with Raptors show.

Great place to visit over at least 2 days. Lots of different aspects of Native Americans Indian culture/torture and mistreatment by white people.

Absolutely awesome! You need more than a day to see everything in it! If you enjoy natural history and the west you will not be disappointedHighly recommend

Amazing facility, very well done and with style. Front desk folks very friendly and helpfull. The contents are amazing... Well worth the trip!

First rate museum. Too much to see in one day! The gun collection by itself is an amazing collection, and the artwork is a comprehensive view of the region.

Your ticket allows you to return within the week which is so convenient, 5 museums under 1 roof

You can spend a whole day here. Kid friendly. I spent 3 hours and saw a bit of everything. I could’ve been there 4 hours or longer though I think. Big spacious and full of wonderful exhibits! There’s something for everyone, 5 museums in one. My mom who’s into art spent 90% of her time in the art section. I enjoyed them all. High quality museum, one of the best I’ve ever been to.

This place is amazing its a must-see make sure you have plenty of time it is huge

Wow!! So much to see and well worth every $$. We were there for over two hours and could have come back to see more!

A must go museum. This has the most Ive ever seen of Buffalo Bill and firearms. Youll learn a lot!

This is by far the best museum weve ever been too!!! Amazing place definitely worth going too️

To much to see in one day. Reserve at least 2 days. Great deal at under 20 dollars.

Its incredible just how large this museum is; its worth adding the day to a Yellowstonew trip to get in a visit.

What an amazing place! We took 4 grandkids and spent four hours and then went back the next morning to finish up for 2 more hours! There is do much to see and several movies and interactive things to try. Kids loved it....ages 7 , 10, and two 13 year olds.

Barely had time to do even 1/5 of what is available here. The gun section is breathtaking if you are a brother of the bolt. Check it out for sure.

This is an amazing museum. We were on a motorcycle trip and staying in Cody for a couple says. It was supposed to rain all afternoon and so we were looking for something indoors to do and decided to check out the Buffalo Bill Center. I seriously wished we had a whole day or two to go through everything. This museum offers so much and does a wonderful job explaining displays and walking you through the history of Buffalo Bills life, WY and the West. If you have a chance do you and your family a huge favor and spend at least a full day here. Its a must see.

Had some really awesome stuff from history worth the trip. It cost 20 per person but the pass last for 2 days. The gift shop had local art and other things from local people which was nice. Worth going if you like history or like the western and native American culture.

Very well done. The Natural History section helped put the Yellowstone experience into perspective. Thanks for protecting the science and minimizing the politics.

Spectacular!! Dont miss it if youre in Cody. Plan on spending at least one or two days.

Outstanding museum! Could spend much more time there. Many premier exhibits. If you like natural history. Or wild west. Check this place out.
