Fort Cody Trading Post

This iconic place was part of my childhood. Learn a little bit about Buffalo Bill Cody, North Platte history, the Wild West show, get some fun souvenirs, and be a little silly all at the same time. Lovely volunteers and no entrance fees make this a win for everyone.

The kids had a ton of fun here! We planned to spend maybe 15 minutes, but I think we were here for over an hour. Plenty to look at, both inside and out. Lots of artifacts in the museum side of things, some fun stuff to explore outside, and all the normal western-themed souvenirs. Prices were typical souvenir shop prices, so not especially cheap, but about what you'd expect. Staff were all very friendly. I highly recommend this place for a fun family stop. Just don't be surprised if you end up spending more time than intended. :D

P.S. The reviewer who called this place a dump doesn't know what they're talking about.

A really fun spot for gifts and souvenirs, with a nice outdoor space out back where they have live music occasionally. They also have a really cool miniature wild west show that starts every 30 mins. Definitely worth the stop for snacks, gifts, or just something fun to look at and learn a little!

Absolutely a must for any kind of souvenirs. Very friendly staff and amazing display of Buffalo Bill's wild west shoe figures. If you come at the right time the figures will put on a show for you. Wonderful place to shop.

I don't know how many times I have drove by and never stopped but this time we did! It is a great unique souvenir shop! Many items to choose from! And fun items to read about Buffalo Bill, other Indians and to see women's dresses and men's chaps! It even has a little set up of Buffalo Bill's show! Glad we stopped in!

A fun and free stop along the highway. Great for families and kids. Tons to look at and tons to buy! 2 headed cow, a miniature display, and great taxidermy. They of course have lots of products for sale. Picked up some unique gifts for our family and friends. Would definitely stop again. Employees were very kind and helpful.

A very nice gift shop. In addition, you can watch quite a large exhibition of artifacts about life in these areas in the past. It is worth emphasizing that the prices of souvenirs offered here are not exorbitant. It's really worth going down for a while and visiting this gift shop.

This is a stop you won't regret! The staff is fun and accommodating but that aside it is by far one of the most fun roadside attractions! They have old toys and candy that you will only appreciate if you are over the age of 35! And they have whips...take it from me they work per my husbands lower region. This has many great opportunities for family photos that are rich in history. Lastly, stay to see the miniature show! Very interesting show and history lesson. Never thought I would say miniatures are cool....but I have officially been proven wrong and ....miniatures ARE cool! Have a great time and yeehaw cowpokes!

Very interesting place. Reminds me of the tourist type of places I visited as a child. The outdoor area is great for kids to run around and play in. The indoors is packed with buffalo bill facts, merchandise, and trinkets. It's free to get in but there is plenty of things to buy there as well, so if you bring your kids expect to fight off the constant "can I get this" reaction to the vast amount of kid friendly merchandise. All in all, a nice little break from the road trip.

What an awesome place! A great variety of gifts and spectacular decor! Please check out all the pictures I'm going to share. They have a huge diorama of Wild Bill's show. Worth a trip if you're in the area!

Awesome souvenir shop! We were able to get t-shirts, magnets, and toys for the littles! So many cool things in here! So happy we stopped!
Definitely recommend as a must-see!

This is the wild west gift shop to end all gift shops! It makes a great pit stop off the highway - I ate lunch at the nearby Qdoba and then came over. There are gag gifts, post cards, toys, candy, even jewelry, cowboy hats, and moccasins. I most enjoyed the hand-carved diorama of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show that takes up the entire back of the store. Definitely worth a stop even if you don't buy anything. I ended up with postcards and a bumper sticker myself.

Worth a trip over to see details of Buffalo Bill and a good old country store. Don't kid yourself though they have high-end jewelry. Fun stuff for the kids like slingshots and a Western style whip.

Just passing through but loved visiting! Me and my 2y/o daughter loved it! Thanks guys! We searched 3 different places for a Nebraska mug until those beautiful place!! Definitely have to stop by if driving through!

Always a good stop on the way through North Platte. A true Nebraskan Tourist stop. Full of cool knick knacks for the kids and its always been interesting to watch the miniature show, two headed calf, and museum like items from Buffalo Bill, Cowboys and Local Natives. There were even Rattlesnake belts and such when we went.

Cute Trading Post and Museum right off the highway. Must quick stop if your driving through grabbing gas or staying in the area., especially with kids. Lots of fun unique and reasonably priced memorabilia.

Cool stop along our journey west. Great place to let the kids get out and stretch their legs while learning a little Americana. Not fancy, just a neat little tourist trading post with a solute to Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Show.

We loved this place so much we went twice on our road trip! Great staff and a lot of great gifts to take home. The small museum is nice. You have to see the 2 headed calf!! Mini Buffalo Bill show was good to see, it showed what real entertainment was like back before all the distractions of devices we have today

This was a neat stop! We had fun looking at everything in the store. Lots of knick-knacks and goodies.

Absolutely the coolest place for all your souvenir needs. Also has a handmade model tiny town of the Wild Bill show. Very cool artifacts. Definitely a great place. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
