This masterpiece is exquisite and getting better all the time. Need several days to fully appreciate all of the history captured in this one location. This is not a two hour hit and run museum. This is a minimum of five museums in one, which is why you need at least one whole day to appreciate, and several days to... More

This had five sectons, so it takes a little time to go through it if you are actually reading the information. If you like the old west this is a must stop. More

There are actually 5 separate museums housed under one roof displaying artifacts and art of the American West and wealth of information about the American Plains Indian history. The fee includes a two day entrance ticket which we definitely needed.... More

The other reviewers have said it all, this is a fabulous museum. We visited it 27 years ago and it has done nothing but improve. Well worth the time and money. More

At first glance, the entry fee for this museum may seem steep. However, it is a two day ticket. The museum is divided into specific areas of interest. With so much information to take in, it is great to divide your visit into two days; trying to do it all in one day may result in sensory overload. The museum... More

We were expecting a small museum with 2-3 rooms and half a dozen artifacts. We were blown away! This museum is a must see. It is huge. Just in the firearms section, they have over 2000 rifles and pistols. More
