When you arrive, you have to drive through this little frontier village and it was completely deserted when we were there so it was more like a ghost to town. It's a cute little old west themed area with buildings and displays but it was obviously closed when we were there. We had to drive through to the end of it to see the Buffalo. While you can easily view him from the parking area, we walked over to be right underneath him and he is quite big and impressive. It's hard to tell just how large it is from the photos but my husband is 6 ft tall with an impressive wingspan and standing directly underneath with his arms stretched up, he still could not touch it's belly. The singular Rocky mountain oyster protruding from the bottom made us laugh though! There are also displays with images of the building process and history about the monument and I love that they have a phone number you can call if you want to hear the story. We used this function for some of the other stops we made and it's a nice option and would be great for people with kids and the visually impaired. Overall it was just a quick 10-minute stop for a photo op but it was fun enough for us and I imagine when the frontier village is open and there are a lot of people around that it's much more fun with a lot more things to do.
