The museum is great with a lot of original Pawnee Bill Show items. Also a lot of Indian artifacts and paintings are on display. There is a amazing diaorama of the whole show showing how the show was in it's time. The Pawnee Bill home is beautiful, with many original items from when Pawnee Bill and his family lived there. Don't miss the loop drive through the Buffalo and Longhorn pasture.
We always enjoyed the Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum. However, when we found out about the Wild West Show, which is held in the summer, we sometimes go to more than one performance! The performers are great! Reasonable refreshments available, nice friendly crowd in attendance. You'll just love it! Join the Pawnee Bill Ranch Association as well to help support this fine attraction.
I had know about this ranch and wild west show for years but never been. I took my family including 3 grandsons to the ranch and show last week-end. This is a family friendly atmosphere complete with good food, side entertainment, and fun. It is not a full fledged "Hollywood" event but plenty of local talent and skill. I suspect the cast has as much fun doing the show as those of us in the seats. The show runs the last three Saturdays in June. Put it on your calendar for 2014.
Kids loved the Wile West Show and petting zoo. Tour of the hous is outstanding. Outdoor western skits done.
We finally got to go to the Wild West show and it was all we had hoped! Lots of horses and action. We really enjoyed the trick roping! He is amazing. Can't wait for next year. They only offer the show 3 Saturdays in June. Go early to see all the buildings on site and enjoy a bite to eat.
This museum has improved tremendously over the past five years. It is a really gorgeous spot, and they have recently added some really nice exhibits. There isn't much to do in Pawnee, but visiting the ranch is a good way to spend a few hours. A trip here followed by a meal at Click's steakhouse made my day a blast, and my inlaws from Minnesota loved this glimpse of Oklahoma history.
Dont miss this fun event... Will be held just one weekend this year!!! Timeless fun entertainment... Great for all ages... If you like outdoor entertainment and good horsemanship, or just enjoy a good night out with good friendly people this is your spot..!!Make plans to arrive early with your family for the barbecue dinner. Or spend the day and take in the parade in Downtown Pawnee as well... Check the website for information!
I always take out of state guests to this place. It is very interesting, the tour gives a very good background of the old Wild West Shows. The personal history of Pawnee Bill and his family is thought provoking. The grounds are really nice. Children enjoy this tour and the museum. I have been going there almost every year for the last thirty years and I enjoy it every time.
It was just to "hokie" to be fun, and it was very hot, which may have been the cause for a dismal rating
We were at the Pawnee Bill Ranch for the Wild West Show this past weekend. It was great family fun. We went to downtown Pawnee to watch the Parade before dinner. The dinner was tasty but sort of unorganized as far as to getting your plates. The Wild West show was a lot of fun but the bleachers got a little hard after a bit. Overall I would go back for another visit but would bring cushions for the show.
