Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great history with lots to see! Definitely a two day trip which is nice because you can go back with your proof of purchase. We went on a Monday and Saturday.

This is an amazing Museum... 5 museums in 1! I particularly loved the natural History museum part and loved that it was part of the Smithsonian museums. Very much appreciated that they participated in the Blue Star Museum program for active duty military families to enter the museum for free this summer.

We're in our 60s and into our 2nd week of vaca. 1st week was in Yellowstone. General admission gets us 2 days in there. Today we did the Buffalo Bill Muesum and the Whitney Western Art Museum. Tomorrow we'll do 1 or 2 more then head out of town. The BB Museum had a lot of great history in it. The WWA Museum had some high quality art works. The bronze are ESPECIALLY good. You get a LOT for the admission charge. A top attraction for Cody.

Really well done and curated. Took a few hours to see everything, and everything was worth seeing.

Really cool museum! Not only about Buffalo Bill but about the plains Indians, the guns, art, etc. Beautiful building. Staff is great! Good films about the park but need the volume to be a bit higher. We have great hearing but felt the non comical films needed better sound.

Though limited in subject to the old West, I would compare it favorably with the Smithsonian! It's five separate museums and only one is dedicated to Buffalo Bill, so the name is misleading. If you're visiting Yellowstone, save a day or two for here. You won't regret it.

Very expensive for what it offers. Kids loved the interactive photos.

Allow plenty of time as there is much to see.

beautiful museum full of interesting contents... to see it well you need the 2 days covered by the ticket... if you wander more lightly even a pom is enough like us

Great place to visit. So much I didn't know, very interesting.

Very Informative! Great displays and summaries explaining each exhibit. Great for families!! Highly Recommend!!!!!

As a firearm collector and enthusiast, I've been waiting for many years to get a chance to come to Cody and see this museum. I spent over half a day here checking out all the different museums that are included in this place. It really is a wonderful experience and a must see.

Very impressive. It's actually five museums under one roof. The collections are amazing. One daily ticket gets you in for the rest of the week. Plan on spending more time here than you expected.

Wonderful family stop! We spent a few hours here but could have easily spent more time.

This is a truly amazing place. A lot of thought and effort has been put into how it's arranged and how everything is displayed.

My sister volunteered here it was an awesome experience. Would definitely come back.

Excellent museum has 5 different museums only visited 3 of them so much to see,!

Well worth an afternoon of walking and wondering around.

Five great museums in one place. Worth a visit!

The museums are very well done. Take your time. The firearms museum is worthy of a whole day. Only gave four stars because several displays are broken and have been for a year. Otherwise, amazing.

It's great that the entry fee covers 2 consecutive days. Come and go all day if you want, but you won't want to. The museums are engaging and entertaining. We had sandwiches and salad bar at the Cafe. Also picked up croissants at the coffee and pastry counter. Delicious. Friendly and helpful employees. I'd go again.

Superb museum where you spend an afternoon learning and admiring. We loved the natural museum and the space dedicated to Indians. The collections are exceptional. The space dedicated to Buffalo Bill is also very interesting. A must do if you are in the area. Ideal with children. Catering on site and ample parking.

I could have spent days in this museum. It was wonderful and interactive. I beat my husband at the virtual shooting range! 😎

I didn't think this was going to be my cup of tea but I ended up loving it. It's full of art, historical artifacts, and nature displays. Favorite part of Cody

Absolutely recommended. The 4 exhibitions are interesting and there is something for everyone. Since we were there late in the afternoon, there was a discount on entry.

To much awesomeness to explain! Just go.

Great museum there are 5 museums in one, you have to plan a day there :) there is a catering service on site!

There's so much to say! the heritage displayed in this building was outstanding , and the people were very nice. The raptor show was the frosting on the top. And you actually could use a day or two to actually see it all.

Allow two days to visit, the entrance ticket allows it

Great little museum. The caretaker the day we went was very knowledgeable and great to talk to playing the part of Buffalo Bill and looking the part perfectly.

What an awesome place!! This is a must see when visiting Cody!! Plan on it taking you at least a few hours as the museum is quite extensive. (And you'll still have more to see for a 2nd trip!!)

5 diverse exhibits with a fun raptor show for children.

What a tribute to Buffalo Bill Cody and the history of the plain states. We needed two days to see all the exhibits. What a benefit that the entry fee is a two day pass! Wyoming loves veterans and the museum has a discount for vets! Great experience, great people and great museum. 🤠🐴🐡

Kids should not be allowed to scream and shout in the galleries.. this should be an area of reflection and peace.

A great fun and educational experience. We spent way more time there than we thought we would. Time well spent.

Fantastic. The way they presented the history section is very well done. We all thought the history is worth the most time to walk thru.

Beautiful collections, especially those at the Plains Indians Museum. Also interesting are the Western Art Museum and the Buffalo Bill Museum. The firearms museum is above all a huge display. As for the natural history museum, although the layout is neat, it is difficult to find a common thread and to be interested from start to finish. Thank you to the curators, who do not hesitate to challenge us and pique our curiosity, making the visit even more interesting. You can easily spend a good half day in this five-fold museum, for example if it rains...

Make sure you have atleast 4 or more hours. This place is massive and every exhibit is really in depth and interesting. Staff is so nice and knowledgeable. Anytime we’re near Cody we will be going back, after 3 and a half hours we had to rush through and didn’t get to see the gun exhibit so give yourself time! They have a cafe for lunch which was really nice as well!

Excellent museum. Managed to visit two of the museums in three hours, could have spent a full day here.

Probably the best museum I have ever been to (and I have been to the Smithsonians.)

So much to see here. Be sure to give at least 2 days to see it all. It is more than just Buffalo Bill. The firearm collection takes a day just to go through. So much to learn about history here. Even if you don't have 2 days. Go and see it! Totally worth it.

Great place to visit with five museums in one building. Unfortunately we were pressed for time and only spent about 4 hours in museums and to thoroughly see it all you’d need two days. Biggest gun collection we’ve ever seen and didn’t really see all of that area. The taxidermy area was impressive with plenty of animals and a viewing area to see taxidermists working. Lots of historic photos, paintings and videos. Very helpful and friendly volunteers to guide and explain different areas of the museums and best way to navigate them.

There are lots of interesting things to see!

So much to see and learn. It's worth an entire day!

Great museum over 7000 sq foot in multi levels.

Great western museum. Tickets are for two days. Make time to see it all.

Don't miss this wonderful place

Super large and well-kept museum. Not only about Buffalo Bill, but also the animal world is impressively presented. Bronze figures, Indian exhibition, etc. You have to allow enough time.

Great lace if you love history and guns

We spent 6 hours in this museum and didn't even realize it! There is so much to see, so much to interact with, kid friendly, a food court, and places to sit. If your in Cody, you gotta stop in!

Cool place! 5 museums in one! Learned a lot and had fun with the interactive! Great, knowledgeable staff!

An impressive museum. The story of Cody aka Buffalo Bill. American Indians and also weapons. Impressive. I recommend

Our family of 4 spent 6 hours in the museum and could have spent another day. We booked an exclusive tour for my 10 year old for his birthday, and both my sons(the second being 6 years old) loved it! Our tour guide Dana did a wonderful job focusing on what interested them and sharing unique facts that they wouldn't probably find out just looking through the museum on our own. They were able to hold and look at guns, which was so fun for all of us. It's definitely worth the extra money.

The Buffalo Bill Center of the West is a must-visit cultural gem! With its captivating exhibits on Western history, art, and firearms, this museum offers a fantastic insight into the American frontier. The attention to detail and engaging displays make it a truly immersive experience. The knowledgeable staff adds to the overall informative atmosphere. Whether you're a history buff or just curious about the Wild West, this center has something for everyone. Don't miss the chance to explore this fascinating collection that beautifully showcases the spirit of the American West.

Amazing museum, take your time when there

Best museum. We love this place. Takes more than one day to see everything. Get a membership the magazine that comes with it is fun. The private tours allow for you to see exactly what you want and get a professional guild to tell you back stories and information not available on self guided walk throughs.

Enormous collection of guns and rifles. Spent quite a few hours there.

Whenever I'm in Cody, my second home, I love spending time here to remember wild west's rich history. Also, this is one of the best places to see incredible art including works by local resident, the great T.D Kelsey.

Great visit with tons of history of Cody. Definitely worth the visit. Admission is $21 for students, $22 for seniors, and $23 for adults.

Soooo much to see and do. Incredible!

Such a cool place. I even made a video for youtube. So many guns, wildlife, advertising, Indian artifacts, and so much more. See my YouTube channel Coolest Life.

Natural history museum was amazing. Art gallery is ranked #1 in the nation, indigenous artifacts with excellent and thoughtful displays.

This place is amazing and huge! It is very well done with many different types of exhibits. You can spend the whole day here and still not see everything. I highly recommend everyone visit!

What a nice facility! They had gun and art, a playground for kids and a raptor yard (although the only raptor they had was an eagle), presenters of your wanted a guided tour, as well as interactive displays. It was an interesting place to spend a few hours at. It thought it was a bit expensive initially at $25 each. But after seeing what they had, it was definitely worth it.

So glad we visited this museum. Something for everyone and every employee was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend and like the price of admission is good days.

A very Western Museum to visit if you ever around cody it’s a great way to spend a half morning day. I enjoyed going through the firearm museum to see the evolution of guns and weapons, the craftsmanship the beauty of each era and the weapons of choice is amazing. Got to see the bird show there’s two of them depends on the time you’ll see and Owl 🦉 which we got to learned about and it was pretty cool. I got to see the Buffalo Bills Museum and got to do a scavenger and it was very fun to get to intentionally walk around the museum to get to know it, but when I was done the prize was a sticker so I was terrified. But relieved I got most of the items and got to see most of the museum. There is so much to explore and the Museum ticket is good for two days.

Great museum complex, something for everyone. You can potentially spend all day. The exhibits are very well done and informative. The art section provides an amazing collection of Western art that includes an Andy Warhol too. There is a great outdoor playground for the little ones too. Highly recommend! If you are near Cody or make a detour from Yellowstone, you will not regret it!

Great museum for people of all ages. Very beautiful inside and out.

The natural history museum is magnificent

Great place to take family. Lots of guns to read about and Wild Bill history

Huge facility, very well done museum. Even for those who do not love museums this place was a great stop. I would recommend if you're on the fence.

More of museum as well as a welcome center

Coming thru Cody on way to Jackson didn’t know about it so stopped and was astonished by what we saw. Didn’t have enough time to see all of it.

Absolutely amazing! Been many times, and always impresses!

Lots to see here. My favorite was the Bald Eagle. It was injured and didn't fully recover hence the sanctuary captivity.

There are so many interesting exhibits here! We will have to return!

One of my favorite musuems in the whole world. Can't wait till my next trip back.

A get Museum but plan on the whole day as 4 Museums in one

Amazeballs! Better than many museums I have seen in large cities throughout the Pacific Northwest.

More guns than you could ever see

Plan to spend two days visiting this museum!

Make plans to tour this place with comfortable walking shoes and at least two days. The good news: your paid admission is good for two days. There is something for everyone: the nature lover, those who appreciate art, and a firearms exhibit which is stunning in its numbers and variety of guns throughout history.

There is so much to see that you rapidly discover why they give you a 2 day ticket. The staff are very helpful.

Wonderful place bathrooms are clean everybody very friendly, Lots to see need several days to see it all.

This is an amazing place. 5 different museums for one price. It has an impressive natural history section, the live birds of prey are so beautiful and the firearms museum is out of this world. This is an amazing place to spend the day, especially when the weather is not cooperating in Cody.

We drove in from Grant Village yellowstone to visit the museum. We spent the night in town to finish our visit the next day.

Awesome museum and a must see if you visit Cody Wyoming. Your ticket gets you in the next day and it will take both days unless you spend all day there one full day. Will visit again.

Fabulous displays! Five world class museums under one roof. My favorite was the incredible Draper Natural History museum! Stunning displays! On par with DC's Smithsonian Natural History, actually it is better! Spacious, never seemed crowded, even though we were there on the 4th of July holiday. Super clean, air-conditioned, lots of benches to sit and rest, friendly help. Bathrooms are super clean. The deli was excellent. Amazing place!

Awesome experience, this is a must visit in Cody.

Great museum I especially liked the gun collection there. A gun enthusiast could easily spend hours just In that exhibit but there is so much more. I highly recommend

Excellent museum - educational and interesting.

It's a fantastic museum that manages to continously upgrade its exhibits. We have visited the museum at least 4 or 5 times over the last 30 years.

3 museums in one. Go take a tour of one of its wings, grab a bite, and continue on

I would've expected an attraction of this size to keep up with maintenance issues. Lots of viewing screens were not working. I wanted to "see inside a wolf pup den" but not working and wasn't even labeled as such. Several screens in Plains Indian Museum didn't work either with no signage indicating such. The staff person I asked about wolf pup screen was indifferent and dismissive simply shrugging her shoulders, saying it didn't work, and walking away. I can't comment on cost as I was with a tour group. I was told it would take at least two days to see everything.

Wow, this museum is huge. We didn't even see it all. We learned a lot about Buffalo Bill and his history.

This is an amazing collection of museums, and all are great. Buffalo Bill Cody was a showman on par with the Ringling Brothers, and his museum showcases his art for self promotion. You can easily spent an entire day here,if not two

This is our second time here. It keeps getting better.

The whole museum was spectacular! But I especially loved the Cody Firearms Museum portion. So many interesting prototypes and one offs and different mechanisms that fundamentally changed the future of firearms manufacturing. Really great and worth the stop!

Comprehensive history on not only the life and times of Buffalo Bill Cody, but also weapons, Indian displays of artistry, library with documents. Too much to see in one day, so they give you two days for the price! Very worthwhile!
