For the fourth year in a row, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, has earned the Certificate of Excellence Award from TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel review website. The Certificate of Excellence is presented only to establishments that receive consistently high ratings among travelers.
The Center of the West ranks high with the vast majority of those who review it on the site—more than 2,300 travelers to date—with an overall rating of five out of five. Bruce Sauers, the Center’s Director of Revenue, notes, “This award of excellence is a testament to our dedication in offering the best experience about the American West possible.” He adds, “Visitors rating their experiences with us have uniformly recognized us as one of the finest museums in the world. We are extremely proud of our staff’s dedication in reaching this goal.”
The Center of the West contains five separate museums—the Buffalo Bill Museum, Whitney Western Art Museum, Plains Indian Museum, Draper Natural History Museum, and the Cody Firearms Museum. The combination of these galleries provides all visitors with a comprehensive and authentic view of the American West. Some visitors with specific interests review the museums individually on the site.
Heather Leisman, Vice President of Industry Marketing at TripAdvisor, says, “With the Certificate of Excellence, TripAdvisor honors hospitality businesses that have consistently received strong praise and ratings from travelers.” She adds, “This recognition helps travelers identify and book properties that regularly deliver great service. TripAdvisor is proud to play this integral role in helping travelers feel more confident in their booking decisions.”
The Center of the West, located only 50 miles from the East Gate of Yellowstone National Park, celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2017.
