Holiday Open House at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West

The Buffalo Bill Center of the West’s Holiday Open House is an annual tradition in Cody! The event offers two free days to explore the Center’s five spacious museums, beautiful holiday decorations, complimentary hot cocoa and candy canes, discounts in Points West Market to jump-start your Christmas shopping, and more.

Food & Toy Drive
We encourage families attending to share the holiday spirit by contributing to the collection boxes that will be stationed at our front door entrance.

› Bring non-perishable food items; they will be distributed through local food pantries.
› Bring new, packaged toys; they will be distributed through Holiday Helpers.

Santa will be visiting the Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days of the Holiday Open House! Make sure to catch up with him here to share your list.

The birds of our Draper Museum Raptor Experience present a program each day of the Open House at 1 p.m.

We welcome author Bob Berry, who is joining us from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. both days of the Holiday Open House for a book signing for his book, Yellowstone: Yesterday & Today. Find Bob at the entrance of our Points West Market, which has copies of the book for sale.
