Neat spot to cool off and wander during the midday sun. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I particularly enjoyed the dogsledding history and art as well as the giant "untitled" painting with the Bison head at the top of the stairs. If you start your tour on the right hand side of the horseshoe (towards the gift shop) when you come up the stairs, it's placement is perfection. The sculpture garden in the centre is peaceful and the 6 tonne bench is pretty cool. Quite a few of the paintings capture movement and fire wonderfully, you can really feel it! Would love an audio tour through my phone or QR code. They also offer seniors & veterans discounts on admission

We had a wonderful tour guide (Drew) who kept our junior high and high school boys fully engaged for about 2 hours. It was a very enjoyable field trip for our homeschool group.

A wonderful place, with beautiful art and a truly incredible collection of spurs, saddles, weapons and more. A must! Lovely and quiet on a Sunday afternoon before a flight home.

Mainly an art collection capturing the spirit of the west. Interesting record of people, how they lived and places
