Jackson's Town Square is the heart of Jackson, WY and a must-see when visiting the area. The square has a charming Western feel, with shops, restaurants, and plenty of places to relax while taking in the mountain-town atmosphere. The most unique feature is the famous elk antler arches at each corner of the square. Made from thousands of shed elk antlers collected from the nearby National Elk Refuge, these gates are an iconic symbol of Jackson and make for a great photo opportunity. A fun place to walk around, enjoy the local character, and experience a little piece of Jackson's history. read more

This town square is absolutely adorable!! The elk antler arches are super cool to see and really embody the Jackson hole vibe. They have a really cute horse drawn carriage. It's packed with shops and restaurants. The food options are great with more casual as well as more upscale options. The vibes in the square were super fun with lots of people playing lawn games and hanging. They have a couple of cool bars. Super fun place to stop on a trip to Jackson!! read more

We are in the center of Jackson Hole. The square is surrounded by upscale shops and fun restaurants. The stage coach passed and circled the square numerous times. The art galleries are exquisite with a lot of beautiful pieces to admire. We walked through the antler arches & sat in the square watching Jackson Hole pass by. There was war memorial in the center of the Square. read more

Oh so cute place you can't miss....and you won't if you head into the town of Jackson Hole. We stayed just up the hill at the Snow King Resort which has skiing/snow boarding, cowboy coaster (a real roller coaster on the slopes), and tubbing. But just a few blocks away is the town square. Each of the four corners have a gigantic elk antler arch. It's great for that perfect holiday picture. In the middle is a large monument which features a bronze sculpture of a cowboy riding a bucking bronco, representing Wyoming's state symbol and honoring local veterans. During winter time, there's a small ice rink. It's fun to skate around the tree and bench parked right in the middle of the rink. There's a ton of great restaurants that adorn the square including Silver Dollar Bar & Grill, Roadhouse Brewing Co, and the famous Cowboy Bar. If you are looking for souvenirs you can find plenty among the shops too. On one corner is the Mountain Trail Galleria which has very cool life-size statues right outside its doors (favorite is the elk). read more

Jackson's Town Square - Jackson Town Square antler arches!!! - Parks Near Me - Jackson, Wyoming

Before visiting Jackson, I was, embarrassingly enough, obsessed with watching the Jackson Town Square webcam. I was delightfully surprise when we finally arrived in person at how cute this little town square is. There's a lot going on at this town square, even in the off season. Yes, there are a plethora of shopping options around and the Antler Arches are a cool sight but the little park itself, even though there was snow on the ground, always had something going on. Every time we passed by there was some sort of activity happening, whether it was "official" or not. We saw some people set up chairs and start singing. We saw people dancing. We saw some sort of game happening. It felt really homey to see all of this activity. I'm sure there's a lot more during the summer to explore and I'd highly recommend it. read more

The downtown Town Square in Jackson Wyoming is where we spent some evenings since we stayed in downtown Jackson for 6 nights. I was really looking forward to this place, although IMHO found it overpriced, overcrowded, underwhelming, and having an identity crisis. You will find a cowboy theme with the elk antlers on the four corners of the square, the million dollar bar which is a tourist trap, and a stage coach and horses if you want to ride around the overcrowded square by stage coach. It's also trying to be bougie to get tourist dollars so you will find steak houses, art galleries galore, and jewelry stores, etc. for nights you are feeling bougie. It has hiking apparel and shoe shores to appeal to the adventurous travelers and kids stores to appeal to the mass amount of families that come here. In the center is a war memorial because I don't know there just is. I guess the positive thing is you can make downtown Jackson whatever you want for an inflated price because it's a hodge podge of randomness with no identity. The streets are narrow, flooded with people and kids, and all of the hotels are overpriced due to the lack of lodging in the area because all the land is protected (ex. national parks, national forests, etc). We spent most of our time in Grand Teton National Park which we loved due to all the nature, although found it tacky that the National Park has an airport in the center of it all. read more

The Jackson Town Square is located at the heart of the city. You can't miss it because the entrances have arches made of elk antlers. On my most recent trip, I spend most of my time during the day at Grand Teton National Park. In the evenings, I enjoyed taking a stroll to this park from my hotel. At the center of Town Square is a stone memorial honoring local veterans. There are plenty of benches to sit on throughout the park. Surrounding the park are restaurants, art galleries, and retail shops. This park is also known as George Washington Memorial Park and was dedicated in 1934. In the summer, there is a horse-drawn stagecoach that circles the park for people to ride on. They erect an ice-skating rink in the winter months. After grabbing a coffee from nearby Cowboy Coffee, I enjoyed relaxing in this beautiful park while doing some people watching. read more

Good for people watching (mostly of the rich people). But, there's a bunch of cute shops and restaurants around, the antler arches, horse drawn wagon rides, and a man making balloon animals for the kiddos. But, it is plenty crowded and the parking isn't great. 2023 #43 read more

Jackson is like the Beverly Hills of Wyoming and this area is like a nice stroll for shopping and looking around and a stroll in the park

"I'm gonna snowball Jackson" "See if I care!" -Johnny Cash & June Carter This is the center of the Jackson Hole. This place is a free place to hang out and watch the pressed Wranglers and Lucchese Boots walk by. Each corner of George Washington Park is arched over by a fantastic pile of elk horns, there must be hundreds of 'em at each corner! In the center of this park is the monument to those Jackson soldiers who have lost their lives in defense of liberty and freedom for our country. Along one edge of this park is the old stagecoach stop, where you can hang out and still wait for a stage if you wish. Most of the sidewalks around this town are wooden planks, so this cement walkway is a nice change from all the other walkways around town. The plaza is surrounded by plenty of shops, restaurants, bars- this is really the center of everything going on in this town! I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to visit this town square! read more

You can't write a review for the City of Jackson Hole, so this is the best next thing. It used to be called Jackson's Hole, but that just brings up bad memories for Macauley Culkin. "Hole" is trapper slang for a mountain valley, and beaver trapper Jackson was one of the first white people to spend a whole winter there back in the 1820s. Prior to that, John Colter (of Lewis & Clark Expedition) wrote of the area, including Yellowstone and Tetons, which was met with great skepticism. Rightfully so, it's one of the most gorgeous chunks of America. Though it's 55 miles long, only 3% of the land is privatized, and I imagine most tourists outside their excursions and lodging think of authentically western Town Square, the only in the entire state, as the heart, and hub for local events. Also known as George Washington Memorial Park, named that in his honor on his 200th birthday, as if monument, capitol, a state, the $1 and the quarter weren't enough, the square hosts farmers markets (since 2000), historic carriage rides, walking tours, ice rink/Santa, nightly Town Square shootouts (we have those in Long Beach, too, but they're not staged). The square is bordered by shops and restaurants (one of which serving my favorite pizza in the country), and huge, unique arches made of elk antlers, first built in 1953. Full of cowboy charm, men find it cool and women find it romantic, and though it's a great destination city on its own, it's only 10 minutes from the Grand Tetons and less than 1.5 hours from both Yellowstone National Park (to the north) and Bear World (to the west). read more

Ah! So this is where the iconic antler arches reside!

The town square in Jackson Wyoming lies in the heart of the City. To be precise , Jackson is the name of the city and the area including Jackson is referred to as Jackson Hole mainly because the area is surrounded by mountains. The square is a community park, albeit small in area. There are benches and walkways and some landscaping with lawn areas. The distinctive design element are the Elk antler entrance arches on each side of the square. Great for photo ops, thus the crowds that always seem to be present. Selfie's with the Elk Arches seem to be very popular. On Saturday's an seasonal farmer's market can be found selling produce and crafts, honey etc. around the square. Also surrounding the square are a variety of merchant establishments. Wyoming Outfitters, Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, Snake River Grill, Moo's Homemade Ice Cream * Sorbet and the Stage Stop to name a few. Prices are all over the place but many unique items can be found. The town is very aware of the COVID-19 pandemic and signs can be seen advising social distancing and the wearing of masks. read more

By way of housekeeping, the elk antler arches that this park is known for, currently have their own Yelp page. They've become so iconic, that they have a review page all to themselves. The larger park, however, is more than just the arches; however, they are inarguably the most well known feature of the entire park, and probably city. The park is lovely, though. Lovely and lively, as it's in the heart of town and it's crawling with people clamoring for a pick under the arches. There are, however, other features including a few shady spots to sit down, historical and informational signage, and monuments to old westy types of things. It's worth noting that you can catch some old west reenactment shootout type show in the evenings around the park. I was here Labor Day one year, which at that time was the last show of the season (no idea current scheduling) and things went off script pretty fast as actors have a lot of pent up creativity and plenty of blank ammo to waste. I'm told there is an ice skating rink here in winter, and I have seen plenty of photos of twinkle lights all up in that arch, so it sounds like there are a full four seasons to enjoy. No matter when, it's just nice having a cute little open spot in the middle of town to enjoy. read more

This is located right in the middle of the town. I walked all over the town and I kept coming back to this park unknowingly. I took a nice place under a tree, spread a linen and sat there, took a time-lapse of the the square and enjoyed my blueberry muffin from Persephone Bakery and ice cream from Moos. Relaxing as it can be, I wanted to take a nap. I felt safe around the area. Tip: bring a nice big blanket or picnic mat with you and enjoy your lunch or dinner under a shade for a relaxing view of the park. You can also read your favorite book and indulge yourself with some fresh air. Ohhh how can I forget.... have a picture taken in front of the Elk Antler Arches!!! You can choose from 4 different sides of the park!!! I unusual like antlers and finding so many of these here in Wyoming makes me feel like I've found my special place here on earth. read more

Jackson's Town Square - Elf antler arch - Parks Near Me - Jackson, Wyoming

Jackson is a town in the Jackson Hole valley of Teton County, Wyoming, with a population of about 9,000 people. It is a popular tourist town especially in the winter. The main points of interest are: -The Grand Teton National Park -Yellowstone National Park -National Elk Refuge -Snow King Resort -The National Museum of Wildlife Art -And the Elk Antler Arches right here in Town Square! The elk antler arches are an iconic backdrop, especially at night, when the arches light up. The first Arch was built in 1953, and today there are a total of four on each corner of the Square. Each arch contains about 2,000 antlers and due to the harsh weather, the arches are replaced about every 50 years. From Snow King Resort, it was only a 10-minute walk to Town Square. It was definitely worth the walk! read more

This little park is in the center of downtown Jackson Hole. Each entrance to the park is framed by huge arches made of elk antlers. If you don't take a photo under the elk antler arch, did you even Jackson Hole?! (The answer is no, you did not.) My friend and I visited JH in mid-March and there was still an ice skating rink set up in the middle of the park, and we saw some little kids skating around on it. The rink is pretty tiny so I don't know how many adult humans could be accommodated on it but it would be fun to see. The arches were all decorated with Christmas lights, which made for great photos in the evening. The park itself was pretty quiet when we were there (it was covered in snow), but I imagine it's a great place to hang out and relax in warmer months. read more

It's a nice park or place to meet and gather. It's touristy but also serene enough to spend a quiet afternoon here.

Formerly known as George Washington Memorial Park. One Elk Antler Arch was cool, seeing four was impressive. All four arches stand symmetrical, one at each corner of the square. Good luck finding one swarmed with tourist. After I grabbed a single scoop from Moo's Ice Cream, I walked over and the place had a sea of people. There was plenty of shade because it was such a hot day! Pros: - Walkable distance from and to various shopping and eateries. - Free - Plenty of benches and/or grass area. - Great for a picnic and people watching. - Instagram worthy Cons: - Can get crowded. - Surrounded by traffic - Parking can be a challenge. Tips: - Come early if you want to get a photo with the arches alone. - Bring a snack and take a break from all the walking. - Visit around Christmas, the arches light up! read more

Saddle up cowboy. You have to visit town square when you are in Jackson Hole (really quite literally because it's the center of town). It feels like the Wild Wild West - bars that have horse saddles as the bar stools, elk antler arches and Christmas lights all year round. I lived in Jackson for over a year and loved just walking around town to window shop, obviously with a cookie in hand from Persephones. There's always something going on in town, whether it's Santa visiting at Christmas or the town square shootout, or you could just eat your way through town too if that's your preference, you can't go wrong there. read more

If you visit Jackson, WY (aka: Jackson Hole) you have to visit Jackson Town Square George Washington Memorial Park is located at the center of Jackson, Wyoming. More generally known as "Jackson Town Square", the park is notable for its elk-antler arches at each corner of the park, collected from the nearby National Elk Refuge by Boy Scouts and periodically rebuilt. The Town Square Shootout wouldn't be complete without the Elk Antler Arches! They serve as the backdrop to the longest running shootout show in the west. Visitors and locals delight in the reenactment of Old West justice carried out by professional actors summer evenings from Monday through Saturday at 6:00pm. There's no shootin' on Sundays! Started by Chamber boosters in the 1960's the Town Square Shootout started with a wild flair that tended toward the violent. Managed by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce with the team from the Jackson Hole Playhouse, the show is now more colorful with period costumes and plenty of playfulness Stagecoach Rides The Stagestop is located on the south side of Town Square, off Broadway. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely Stagecoach Ride and tour of historic Jackson Hole.

After all of that ..... we enjoyed walking the wood plank sidewalks in downtown Jackson, checking out numerous shops, restaurants, and cowboy bars. It's a blast! read more

Like most town squares, Jackson Town Square appears to be the heart of Jackson Hole. Though this park is small, it is FULL. There are four entrances to this square and they are all flanked by giant arches made of hundreds, maybe even thousands, of interlocking elk antlers. I was horrified, until I learned that elk pretty much shed those antlers and grow new ones. There are benches inside where you can enjoy some food from any of the nearby food establishments surrounding the square while enjoying the view and the passers-by. In the evening, probably on weekends only, the local theater puts on a Wild West show complete with a gunfight. Very well done. Very entertaining. read more

Cute little park. Each side has an arch that was made out of 2000 Elk antlers! (What?! How could they collect 8000 of it?) That was very impressive! This was actually a memorial park. In the center of the park, there is a statue of a cowboy with names of those who served the country during wars. Surrounded by various trees, you can actually sit on the one of the benches and enjoy a cup of coffee. Around this park is the "downtown" of Jackson Hole. There are apparel shops, souvenir shops, jewelry shops, and restaurants. You'd not get bored in this town! read more

This is a quaint center of town park - an oasis of quiet surrounded by the bustle of the shops and restaurants. Just a great place to sit down, relax, take in the sights. Each "entrance" is a bridge of elk antlers (enclosing photo). While there, we learned that the sale of antlers from the National Elk Refuge (down the street) raises funds for the maintenance of the reserve with 20% going to charities supported by the Boy Scouts.

Jackson's Town Square - Elk Antler Entrance - Parks Near Me - Jackson, Wyoming

Town square is in the middle of the downtown center of Jackson Hole and it is where the iconic picture of the antlers is taken! They have four different entries that are the same and all made of antlers. Super unique and super authentic when you are visiting a state like Wyoming I think it fits the state perfectly. There's a huge park at the center of the town square and from what I read they normally do different scenes and fun stuff played out there from time to time for entertainment. All the stores are surrounding this area so it seems like town square is the initial middle meeting point. So it's a great place to have your location be if you and your family separate ways to do your own shopping, you know to meet there and whatever time. read more

I think it's all about the antler arches, not much to see here unless like me you look at the old photos and see what progress has brought forth. It's fairly in the middle of the town of Jackson, not much of the past is present. It seems not many places are protected and preserved. I'd say Jackson is part of the theme park our good ol USA has become. read more

Love this downtown area! The elk archways are so neat and absolutely beautiful when the Christmas lights are on. I love walking downtown with all the decorations and lights!
