Buffalo Bill Center of the West

With a mission to connect people to the American West, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West offers plenty to explore. It may take you a couple of days to see everything this site has to offer because the center houses five museums. The Whitney Western Art Museum, recognized by Newsweek as a top art museum, features works by Russell and Remington. Fans of Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley will enjoy the Buffalo Bill Museum, while the Plains Indian Museum showcases artifacts from the 1800s alongside contemporary Native art. The Cody Firearms Museum displays over 10,000 items, and the Draper National History Museum is especially popular with children.

Yellowstone National Park

President Ulysses S. Grant declared Yellowstone America’s first national park in 1872.

Enter through the East Entrance, stay on the well-maintained park roads, and head to the Lamar Valley or the Fishing Bridge. When you see wildlife, pull over to the shoulder of the road to take photos. However, it’s always a good idea to call ahead and check on road conditions, particularly in the spring or fall.

Stampede Park

The Cody Nite Rodeo is a family-friendly event held nightly from June through August.
