The museum has greatly improved since our last visit many years ago. The interactive displays were a nice upgrade. Cant wait to return for a summer visit when the reenactments take place.

I went to Boot Hill in the 80s when I was little. It has definitely had some changes since last I was here, but all for the better. Ill admit it doesnt look as rugged as it used to and a bit more tourist feeling, but the amount of information they have added is overwhelmingly fantastic. You learn about the importance of Dodge City to the West and quite a few of its inhabitants of the Wild West era (Name drop:Wyatt Earp). I hate to say I didnt get to go on a weekend and thats when all the gunslinging I remember when I was a kid takes place. Please for yourselves, go on a weekend its necessary for the good stuff. They have a gunfight in the streets, people dressed in period costumes and they offer things not available on the weekdays (ice cream). The ice cream would have been nice too it was 102F. The kids still loved it and if and when we make it back to Kansas I will stop on a weekend next time. Anyone traveling anywhere in the west side of Kansas should make an effort to go out of the way and stop here if they appreciate Wild West history (Westward Expansion).

If you are a fan of the old west or just have a general interest in American history then this is a must see. You can literally spend the whole day here looking at all the exhibits. Theyve done an awesome job of recreating the look and feel of what it was like. I especially loved the interactive exhibits. The gift shop also has a really cool variety of keepsakes to mark the occasion of your visit. I highly recommend the Boot Hill Museum and will definitely be back.

Living history museum in fantastic shape! There is a small entrance fee that all must pay, regardless if you have a parks pass or not. There are chickens, goats, horses and peacocks on site too. Each room is nearly arranged to give you an idea of life at the fort. 2 sets of restrooms are well stocked and clean.

Really enjoyed our self-paced walking tour through the old dodge city! Lots of very interesting exhibits, some are interactive and fun. Boot hill was formative. Well worth the $14 for senior admission. Dont miss this piece of old west history.

Thoroughly enjoyed this museum, very nicely set up. We loved the interactive museum area. Its a very large museum with so much to see. The staff was very helpful and so sweet. We especially liked the part of the museum set up like a town. You go in thru the bar,have a beer or sasperella and proceed inside through the shops. I felt like I stepped back in time. It is well worth the money and your time. A must see if your going this way.

This place is probably the biggest Museum I have ever been to. Its both indoor and outdoor and has several different rooms to explore displaying different item of Interest.Its not just about the old west, its also about our culture and time in that period of Americas history. Very interesting.Is also pet and kid friendly. There is so much to see there you could not do it in one day. Also, Google only allows me to upload 50 pictures, that is not nearly enough!I would definitely go back there again!

Great Museum! Very interesting exhibits. Neat and clean. People working there were very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend this to anyone an enjoyable experience.

Great museum. Gives a detailed account about living in Dodge City in Days gone bye. Enjoy!

This is an amazing place to visit if you want to learn about the old west and its very informative on things that happened in the late 1800s

They captured the history of the west so well. Gift shop over priced. Food was okay entertainment was awesome. The lady that plays Ms. Kitty is great. We enjoyed the entertainment.

Great place! Very informative and interesting, interactive displays. We went early, no crowd.

This place is excellent. We didnt expect much but were very surprised. The exhibits are excellentand really well done. When you think you have seen it all, there us something else to see. Excellent history of Dodge City and the interesting characters who have passed through here. Can get Sasparilla at the Longbranch Saloon. Gift shop is also pretty interesting but blankets are made in India.

Really nice place. Lots of history and detail with interactive videos. Unfortunately I didnt get to sample the dinner and the evening show but next time Im near I will definitely be doing that.

Very well laid out, with faithful recreations of buildings. I loved the interactive nature, wish I had more time so I could see the gunfight.

I loved this museum! Everything was well set up and beautiful, and I loved having this feel of going back in time! The gunfight show is so awesome too. I totally reccomend staying for that!

Fabulous!! This is a must go to!! Loved the new museum, the gun fight, and all the buildings. Nice gift shop too.

I am not a big fan of museums, but this one is worth seeing. Interesting, informative, easy to navigate. Several different mediums used to give us information. Careful thought put in to the cemeteries. The western shoot out play was very well done with good acting (they’ve obviously devoted themselves to practicing), improvisations making it fun, and startling gun fire.

Totally worth the $ and time! Great museum, interactive with videos… including a herd of Buffalo running towards you and a rumbling floor to add to the experience. Impressive. Reenactment of old West shoot out that is cool as well.

Nice place to stop with a good gift shop, and interesting museum.

It was very nice. But it was very small and didnt take much time to see. The cost, 18 buck each was too much.

Really Love this place. We are from Puerto Rico. I went with my son during a Road trip. During the visit to the Saloon, one of the guys that work there, took the Piano and Play our National Antem, was really an awesome experience for us, Bravo. Othe person that we talk was an employee that work at the printing room, we talk abou the place and algo about our country, he knows a lot about Puerto Rico. The Cowboy Show was really Really Good, Nice and Funny. We plan to return some day.

Just love this museum, was here 20 yrs ago, its so much better, they have added a ton new interactive exhibits. Great job! Highly recommend visiting this awesome historical sites.

The wild, wild west. A place you must see if you enjoy westerns....especially those with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday and Bat Masterson and brothers. They were real people and they lived here. If you enjoy old shows like Gun Smoke.....yep, this is your place too!

We had a blast here today! I would love to come back and visit so I can see the show!!! The gunfight was cool! I wish my dad was still alive. He would have loved it.

Fun and interesting! Great place to visit, lots of history! Great for the whole family!

Fun and educational. Our timing was off so we didnt get to see the gunfight. Next time we mivht come for a few days during the festival.

So much fun and history. Loved seeing it all.

Anyone interested in the wild west will want to explore this best of western museums.

Great time, very interesting and entertain. Gun fight awesome as always, and dinner and the show was also good time. Fun,friendly workers, and performers.

Been a while but enjoyed the newer exhibits. Nice place to take the kids. They have gunfights twice a day.

Neat place to explore the history of Dodge City. Enjoyed all the displays and especially the videos. Will remember the Conestoga wagon and the stage coach sections as well as the Buffalo stampede shaking the floor. Only reason I didnt give 5 stars, need some signage pointing folks in the direction of the rear buildings. I heard they were very cool but had no idea they were open to tour. Maybe my bad, but I didnt see anything indicating they were open.

I was always fascinated with Dodge City so my dad and I stopped by during our road trip. Kind of surreal seeing the buildings while being surrounded by modern life. I loved seeing the old guns and other things from the period.I enjoyed the bank, such workmanship!The saloon was very interesting as well.

What great museum, tons of fun stuff for the kids and th kids at heart!

Amazing museum and extremely friendly staff!! Definitely will visit again!!

The face..the dalliance...the confidence of the gal in the yellow/red dress at Center stole the show for me. Shes a natural born entertainer who I hope finds her way to Hollywood. Great little play and museum !

Nice museum with lots of old west artifacts, and even a saloon where you can relax and have a beer.

If you are into the 1800s type history and history of guns in that time period, i highly recommend visiting here. You get to was into the real settings and its a blast . i loved it

An awesome place to visit rich with history and artifacts captured perfectly in time. This place is definitely worth the money. You can spend hours looking through the priceless artifacts and memorabilia. The relocated buildings are fully equipped with period furnishings that are a sight to be seen as well. My family enjoyed this museum immensely. I am so happy to have stumbled upon it while travelling back from Black hills to Texas. It made for a perfect pitstop along the way. Thank you guys for showing my family an awesome time ! My only regret is not having more time to spend while we were there.....

Great experience we did the gunfight show with dinner and saloon show

This was a great museum ! Lots of history and artifacts. Even a Long Branch Saloon that was open.

Paranormal enthusiasts would love this place.History preserved! Antiquities everywhere...incredible items preserved from the time period and set up just fabulously! Information posted for all memorabilia, pictures, artifacts. Helpful staff but not pushy. Anecdotes and alot of info on the people who lived and died in Dodge City. Old jail is creepy as heck and many of my pictures are full of paranormal entertainment. Graveyard in the back. Actual general store, bar(sells root beer), and restaurant and ice cream bar...with people in character from time period. Well worth the time and money!

Awesome museum with very interesting history of Dodge city. We got the Museum package that included dinner and a gunfight show and a show with Miss Kitty at the Long Branch. Good food and shows. Dont miss this feature of the museum. The museum itself took us about 4 hours to go through due to there being 3 rooms filled with artifacts and historical information. It wasnt very crowded because we went in September after school started.

Plenty to look at here and you can take it as slowly or quickly as you want. We visited late in the season just after the daily events had stopped but it was still worth the price of admission. Upside of visiting off-season was there were very few people there.

Got the Marshall plan which included entrance to museum, dinner, gunfight & variety show. Had great time & learned about Dodge City history.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. I was only able to make it for the last hour they were open, but the staff were so accommodating and friendly, that hour was the best Ive spent at about any museum Ive been to. The town replica is the original museum, with exhibits within it. Then theres a much newer building in front of it with even more exhibits. The area also features 3 or 4 original town buildings, which were my favorite. I didnt see any of the shows, but wandering around a mostly empty Dodge City replica was really all I couldve hoped for. I had a perfect visit, and highly recommend a visit to Boot Hill.

Fantastic,loved it...really fun

Its a great experience!! So many items to see on their amazing displays!! Well worth visiting!!

A great place to visit! But I am a fan... I of course went in the winter, so they told me the summer is the time to go cause they have gun fights and other shows to see. Ill be back again.

Loved it...self guided tour with so much historical information.

This museum is great! I was worried that my 2 and 8 year old boys wouldn’t be entertained, but they had a great time and were entertained all day! The museum was very interactive and informative. We also loved the gunfights and the deputizing, my sons proudly wore their badges all day! We are ready to visit again soon! I highly recommend visiting the Boot Hill Museum!

The museum is much improved. The last time I had visited it was 40 years ago. I was sad to see that the slanty shanty was no longer there.My one and only complaint has to do with the old west photographic studio there at Boot Hill Museum. Their costume designer needs to make female costumes for big and/or big chested women, which my wife is both. The costume that she was put in barely covered her quite ample chest. Also would have liked some period cavalry uniforms as they would have been period and regionally accurate and appropriate as Fort Dodge is a few miles away.Overall a great place to visit.

Must see if youre driving the Kansas city/Denver trip. Really old west town thats better then an average museum about the old west... Dodge city lived it!

Very informative and interesting! Be sure to get a drink in the saloon. Website said 12pm shootout but it was post-labor day and the shootout was moved to 7pm so we missed it. Otherwise a great visit.

The museum is part outside representation of what old Dodge City would have looked like in the 1870s-1890s and part inside exhibitions with detailed history of everyday life in Dodge. They even have Bat Mastersons pocket watch! Having been to Deadwood, Abilene, and Hays, when one thinks of major Wild West cow and mining towns, one best not forget to visit Dodge at Boot Hill. Make sure to have a beer at the famous Long Branch Saloon.

Good, will be better once tourism comes back. We missed the gun fight.Well done blend of old artifacts (jail, Union church, and 2-story home) and re-creations (bank, store fronts). It was nice that the museum is actually hidden behind the store fronts. A lot of good, historical information that was presented well.We would give it a 5 except for the cost, but we understand they have to survive. $15/adult, $14/senior. Please dont let that deter you. It is an enjoyable place to stop.The gift shop has a wide variety of items from Dodge City souvenirs to associated western items. You want a bracelet made out of beads once bullets? How about a 6-foot set of long horns? What about a woven horse hair or a braided bison leather bracelet? Theyve got it!Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful.Do something old fashioned, send a postcard. I was able to purchase a stamp and mail the postcard from the gift store. My family still loves to receive these. Plus, its an inexpensive souvenir if you send one to yourself.

Fun for all ages. The ice cream shop has some awesome choices. I recommend the Campfire Sundae or the Pineapple Upside-down Cake Sundae.

Great Place. Lots of Fun!

One of my favorite attractions when visiting my day and son-in-law. Love the history, the live gunfights The employees that work in the old west wearing clothes of that era. The museum is very interesting. The restored homes, churches and various other businesses of the era.There has been an extensive change in the gift shop. Lots of interesting treasures to chose from.Friendly staff. An excellent ice cream shop that also serves burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches.Several businesses to visit and learn about.

Absolutely amazing and well worth the time to visit. The original Boot Hill Cemetary is included. This is not your ordinary walk inside and tour facility at the beginning, that will be after you walk outside the gift shop and see the reconstructed town of Dodge City. When you walk into the front of the Museum, you will walk into the gift shop and pay for your tickets which include a map, and a real live outdoor performance with dancing saloon girls, singing, snd a gunfight. It is very entertaining. Handicap accessible with clean bathrooms.

It is a very interesting museum. Highly recommend visiting it. A few of the things youd see.

Awesome place wish we had more time to explore the place.

We had a great time here today! They have plenty to look at and loved the gun fights! We had some yummy ice cream at the parlor and even had a small lunch. We were there from 10-3 and still didn’t finish(we have 4 kiddos though) tons of interactive things for kids! A must go!

A step back in history. A beautiful and friendly place.

Fun sto on our way through dodge city. Lots of interesting displays. Its a shame the salon and Ice cream shop were closed, but it was October...

Nice historic town. Has potential to do more as they do with Tombstone. Old artifacts can get boring. If your a fan of cowboys and trails its a fun place.

Theyve done a great job with this museum and we enjoyed it.

Amazing place to visit. Not sure its the actual boothill, but you get the sense of the old west in dodge city. Lots to see and experience here.

Fun and interesting for all ages. The museum itself was great, even without coming back for the show in the evening. People were makes and social distancing. Recommends to try sarsparilla in the salon. We wanted to have ice cream but didnt make it back in time.

Loved it!!! I had a blast! I cant wait to go back during peak season to watch the Gun fight reenactment! What a walk through history! So much fun!🤠

Room for one more rustler?We really enjoyed it

The museum was very informative. Lots of awesome guns and various rooms made up for the time period. They did have a wheel chair for me to use but the floor and at least one room was very difficult to navigate. I really wanted to stay for the 6pm show but was exhausted trying to get around the museum. Specially the boot hill cemetery. Good covid restrictions, they even take your temp at the door.

Fun wild west excursion!

My kids cant stop raving about this museum. Id say its the best old west museum Ive ever been to. Great displays, interactive, events, reenacting, some humor mixed in. Its just all around great and the single scoops are huge!

Great place to visit. Love the museum now that all the construction has been completed on the old town outside.

Fun place! Beautiful museum, to include several shops from that era. We toured the musem, watched a gun fight and attended a dinner theater at a reasonable rate. Food was excellent and show very cute!

Really cool stop for all ages. Be sure to catch the gun fight in the evening at 6:30 if you have Small children.

You only need 30 minutes to see the whole museum.

We really lucked out. Th he museum is great and the happened to have a WWI exhibit as well. Be sure to stop by.

Self guided inter-active exhibits well laid out and informative. Enjoyed the shootout. Found a few fun trinkets in gift shop!

Very fun and entertaining! History of Dodge and Boot Hill with its people is very interesting. People working were very nice.

They have just opened a new wing which is really well done. Lots of interactive exhibits that kids and adults will enjoy. The older section of the museum is packed full of historic artifacts. We had planned to breeze through in 45 minutes, but we ended up staying over 2 hours and there was still more to see. We are really impressed with this museum.

Great museum for families and history buffs. All the exhibits and displays are interesting, informative, and well done. We spent about 3 hours here and loved it. Wish we could have seen some of the gunfights and shows but there was construction going on when we went.

Great place take family

We actually didnt expect to like this place at much as we did. The museum had a lot of details and artifacts and was very well done. The family pass covers 2 adults and 2 or more kids so it makes it more affordable for big families.

Great place to see the history of Dodge City and Boot Hill

GREAT museum MANY interactive displays. Disappointed with only one gunfight daily and its at 7 PM, also the photo studio was closed on our Saturday morning. So, overall it was okay but should be better.

Customer service was great, employees answered all my questions, it was nice to look around the whole museum for the day. Place was well lit, air conditioned, public restrooms available, wheelchair accessible, lemon water for the public on hot hot days, everything reasonably priced for a tourist attraction. Definitely would go visit again soon.

We did not get to go in because we was busy doing other things but from what we could tell and see we know we would have loved it

This is a well put together amalgam of exhibits and historical information. We spent more time at the museum than we expected due to the number of exhibits. We are very thankful for the addition of the awning to provide shade while viewing the gun fight.

This place is really cool! I was impressed with how friendly the staff was. Our kids loved the gunfighters and the parents loved how educational the place was. We spent the entire day here and only missed out on seeing the show. The people working the old time photos did a great job and their prices were lower than other places we have seen. I want to come back when the expansion is finish because then it will be even better! #gettheheckintododge

Really neat. It had been about 13 years since I had been here, and the new museum is really nice. We had fun and the ice cream shop is a must.

There are lots of things to read, & taking pictures inside the buildings is allowed. If you like old rifles & guns, this is the place for you to visit. There were a couple of buildings that were under renovation, so we could not see them. You can pretty much walk from storefront to storefront as if you were in an indoor strip mall. (This is what we did as it was a rainy day). If you want to see Boot Hill, that is behind the street, where they say some from that time period are still buried. The church, I believe they said was an original building. It is equipped with wooden pews, an old organ & some sort of piano. You can even go to the saloon & purchase a beer & you can get the youngsters a sasparilla. ( a.k.a. root beer).

Awesome experience. Sure it’s touristy but the displays are authentic and informative. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The buffet dinner was better than expected with a great smoked brisket. Recommend the package with the can can dancers at miss kitty’s Longbranch Saloon .

Honestly probably nothing I can say that hasnt already been said. After writing a research Paper about Wyatt Earp and Doc Hollidays time in Dodge City in my Kansas History class at Pitt State more years ago then I care to admit I had long been wanting to make the trip and I finally did. We planned to go two years ago and saw they were renovating, so decided to wait, then last year the Rona ruined that, so finally this year we made it. I absolutely loved everything about this museum!

Don’t miss this gem! So many artifacts, from Indian to prohibition. Chock full of historic photos, furniture, clothing, lots of guns, amazing collection. Interactive exhibits turned if. After Memorial Day the saloon is hopping and gun flight and blacksmith shows are on. Tour includes an actual resident house intact for the era, jail, milliners, barbershop, church and more. Gift shop is full of great finds but was disappointed not all was local. Tickets only $7!Oh and if you’re traveling 50/400 from the east be sure to take 50 to 283, following the signs to Boot Hill. Much more scenic route!

2nd visit. Lots to see & learn. Allow at least 4 hours. As far as I could see, nearly all the firearms exhibited were properly labeled. This is unusual in museums..

Very enjoyable. I love the History, but they have made it a kid friendly atmosphere also. Wish we could stay lover to see all the sites at other locations.

Excellent museum. Very interesting history on display. Awesome Gunfight show, great actors.

Had a great time. Great family place to visit. Worth the time. I would go again sometime. Can Can girls show was very good. Dinner was great.
