About this venue

Step into the story of the American West at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West—five world-class, family-friendly museums under one roof. Explore the wonders of nature in the Draper Natural History Museum, trace the legend of Buffalo Bill himself, experience the artistry of the Whitney Western Art Museum, uncover the spirit and traditions of the Plains Indian Museum, and journey through innovation and history in the Cody Firearms Museum. Together, these museums bring the epic stories of Yellowstone and the American West to life—all in one extraordinary place, for one price. Through engaging galleries, hands-on exhibits, interactive programs, and kid-approved adventures, visitors discover that this isn’t just the West—it’s your West. Find us at 720 Sheridan Avenue, Cody, Wyoming, in the authentic western town founded by our namesake, William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody.
