Why you should go…
Formerly the National Buffalo Museum, this center at Frontier Village tells the story of the North American bison and its comeback from fewer than a thousand animals in the late 1800s. Galleries cover bison in history, Indigenous peoples and bison, modern artwork and the Buffalo Hall of Fame, and kids get a Bison Calf Play Area. Two small herds graze on both sides of Interstate 94, and the 26-foot World's Largest Buffalo statue stands nearby.
