★★★★★Jerry AllenWe were in Dubois for other reasons and looked for something to do with some extra time we had. We choose the Bighorn Center and it was worth it, it was lots more than we thought it would be. Lots of information, history and conservation in a small place. We will return to visit the center again when we come to town again. It looks like a 30 minute museum but go with more time than that because it is full of displays. The staff was super friendly and willing to answer tourist questions with a smile. Thanks for great time and all the things to learn of bighorn sheep.
★★★★★Timothy CalicottVery nice visitors center and museum. Nice store. Very helpful staff. Information on area attractions.
★★★★★michelle murphyFantastic museum! So much information and a beautiful gift shop filled with local craftspeople art. They also offer eco tours. We toured with Ben and it was a highlight of our week. Ben is extremely knowledgeable in history, petroglyphs, and the wild animals. His tours are customized to what you want to see and learn.
★★★★★Aron CorradiWhile driving back from the Wind River Reservation to Jackson, my wife and I decided to make a stop here. I'm not really sure what we were expecting, but it was definitely worth a stop. Between learning more about the life of bighorn sheep, their history and role in the area, and getting to touch their fur and skulls, we both learned a lot. The displays are very well put together and maintained, and the information is very clear but still packed with information. There is a small room with a theatre with informational videos playing as well. We both enjoyed the stop, and learned a lot.
★★★★★M DThis is one of the nicest animal education centers I have ever seen. Tons of information and displays are packed into this center. There are many interactive displays and lots of hands-on activities for the kids. My daughter found some scavenger hunt sheets that helped her explore the center and that helped to enhance her experience even more. Don't miss this stop - it's wonderful!
