Absolutely phenomenal and truly overwhelming to the firearms enthusiast. I spent half a day in just the firearms wing but the whole Buffalo Bill Center of the West is outstanding. I have given money to them annually since my first visit and will strive to forever.... it?s that amazing.
Not to mention my first born took her very first steps inside the museum ;). So there?s an even more sentimental place in my heart for it.
I enjoyed it as well
Used to live about 27 miles east of there. Was in that area for nearly 10 years. Spent many a day just in that section of the museum. Well worth the visit.
There are also other places in Cody worth spending time looking around. The Irma Hotel and Silver Saddle bar are interesting. Irma was William F Cody's (Buffalo Bills) daughter and he named it after her.
The people who curate the museum and consult with the museum are extremely knowledgeable and have the best stories.
I was there when I was in high school a long time ago.... I was up that way a few years ago for work and really tried to make it to the museum but couldn't swing it.
Take the time. If it's what it was back in the day, it will be a very unique experience.
Went there in 2000. I was an awesome experience. Haven't made it back yet, but maybe later this year.
You could easily spend an entire day at the BBHC and not see it all. Well worth the time.
Visited the museum twice. Best museum i have ever been to. I spent all day in the firearms section. The next day i joined my wife and others in the Buffalo Bill section and then the plains Indian section.
Yes, great museum. Went in not expecting the gun part, but only had 3 hours before close. I need to go back next time I get to Yellowstone.
Thanks for the replies folks.
I haven't been to the museum in Cody but it sounds great. There is a small Museum at Buffalo Bill's grave on lookout mountain, that has a few firearms.
Museum is great. Also visit the dig up gun museum.
Careful if you drive through the town of Mills, they finance the town with tickets.
Looks better than the John Browning Museum in Ogden,Ut. And that is a shame. I enjoyed the Browning Museum very much. But I was in the area and took a liberty to check it out.
Funny... I went for the firearms museum and Yellowstone was the side trip. :)Quote:

Buffalo Bill Center of the West members enjoy free admission!
I have spent the two days a couple of times when visiting. I planned with two nights stay in Cody.
Have been there twice. Most recently spring of last year when much of it was closed for a major renovation. May have to go again to see what it now looks like.
