Holiday World & Splashin' Safari

Kids of all ages love Holiday World. It is clean, safe, and a ton of fun. We go almost every year, but this year, we had fewer grown-ups in our group. With just 2 adults, it was hard to enjoy and please the kids with the height differences resulting in long wait times for both age groups until we split up. The food prices have jumped in the past couple of years so we packed our lunch and dinner. They have a nice picnic area by the car park (we parked in "The Legend" parking lot). We always buy tickets in advance for the discount. Happy Halloween Weekends is a fun and festive time to visit, but the water park is closed. They do offer free drinks and sunscreen. Take your debit/credit card because they have a no cash policy. And wear your walking shoes!!!

We love Holiday World! Our family has been going there around 43 years!!! Used to be called Santa Claus. It has grown so much over the years. But it is still a family oriented, clean park. I like the fact that they do not serve alcohol...so you can go have fun without dealing with drunk people. You don't see rowdy behavior either. I think the admission price is reasonable  and parking is FREE!

Great family oriented amusement park. As advertised, free parking, sunscreen, and soft drinks. Several areas for the younger guests to ride and play. The water park is large with many different slides, splash zones, and wave pools. There are wooden coasters for those who enjoy that type of ride. They also have a well versed genre of food courts to choose from including a Thanksgiving style meal. We were there on a Sunday the last week of July and the longest wait time was a little over 10 minutes.

I love this place luckily I went when it was the second to last day for the water park so there was almost no lines. I will 100% be coming back because this is a great place to take your family, friends or even somebody that you could be dating. The roller coaster rides are amazing and the water park is as good as it gets.

A very fun place to go. You will need 2 days to do everything in both parks.
The 1 picture is the swings in Halloween land.  The first one is Turkey whirl in Thanksgiving land. They are building more. Will have a Boomerang ride next year.

Wild Country Safari Park

This was such a FUN place to go with my kids! They absolutely loved our time here and did not want to leave. We rode a bus through the park and they allowed everyone to feed all the animals included with our field trip, they then got to go and pet and feed kangaroos , ostrich , deer , donkey, zebra, CAMELS! And more. The camels were hilarious the kids were screaming and laughing the whole Time! They have a nice lunch picnic area, another petting zoo and playground equipment. For a bunch of wild animals everywhere this place was extremely clean and tidy. We also loved talking to the birds in the gift shop. The only other advice or information would be that if you come I highly suggest you use their tour bus to drive through the park rather than your personal vehicle. I wouldn’t want the animals scratching or getting slobber inside my actual vehicle but the tour was perfect and they tell you a lot of cool animal facts too. Highly suggest a visit here

The other drive yourself through Safari Park I have been to did not allow any feeding of animals and more variety of animals.

That said, this was pretty darn cool seeing the animals look you right in the eye all up close and personal. It was like they were staring into my soul. Relatively inexpensive. I would recommend if you are doing other things in the area, not necessarily making a special trip just for this.

We found this drive-thru safari traveling from Jackson, Mississippi to Shreveport, Louisiana and what an enjoyable stop it was! From the exotic birds, converted safari school bus, variety of animals (camels and ostriches were our favorite) and experiencing feeding them, to the friendly and knowledgeable staff, we had a blast.

We had a fantastic time. Just the two of us on the bus (you defo don't want to drive your vehicle through). I was busy feeding all the herbavores as my hubby took pictures. I managed to get a few of this Zonkey. The Beefalo are spectacular. Bison and Watusi cattle crosses. Such fun!!!

It's a nice place to escape and be with the nature. Animals are friendly, happy, and well-fed. The staff and the owner are very informative and welcoming. Would love to re-visit next time.

Moss Mansion Museum

I loved it! A trip
Back in time, beautiful. Every room is beautiful. Gorgeous woodwork, walls and floors ceilings are enchanting with their intricate designs. The craftsmanship is extraordinary. So much history about this prominent family. A must go see if you like things like that, you won’t be disappointed

Oh my gosh I’m so glad I went here this house is so beautiful there’s a stunning greenhouse and so many beautiful antiques the staff and volunteers are so amazing and helpful and I’m sure every time you go you’ll find something new a self guided tour is $12 and you can walk around as long as you’d like within business hours. It’s well worth the visit!!

Oh my gosh, it was amazing. Lots of stairs, though. I would definitely recommend going. They are doing some repairs so we could not see the whole house. They need support for repairs, which is worth it. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable.

Amazing place!! So much more history to dive into! Absolutely loved this experience! Can't wait to learn more!! Special thanks to an amazing staff! 👏 hope to see you all again soon!!

Fabulous home with incredibly ornate details.  Just beautiful  and so large! I loved the conservatory and the grounds were nicely groomed.

Monument Valley

Stayed at the View Campground in one of the cabins in Monument Valley. Worth it for the amazing sunrise. The drive around the valley was fantastic. I would definitely recommend four wheel drive and decent clearance. We saw some couples in small cars on the rocky sections really struggle.

Beautiful and majestic place with good roads. The scenic route is worth it with many great views! You pay 9 dollars per person at the entrance and that’s it! They give you a useful map. Overall very worth it!

Monument Valley Tribal Park within the Navajo Nation is an awe-inspiring testament to nature's artistry. The towering sandstone formations, with their majestic spires and mesas, create a mesmerizing panorama that seems straight out of a cinematic masterpiece. Driving through the park's scenic loop offers breathtaking views of iconic landmarks like the Mittens, Merrick Butte, and the vast open desert stretching to the horizon.

Exploring Monument Valley is a spiritual journey, immersing visitors in the rich culture and history of the Navajo people while marveling at the geological wonders sculpted by time. The striking red hues at sunrise and sunset transform the landscape into a vibrant canvas, making every moment a photographer's dream.

Visiting Monument Valley Tribal Park is an unforgettable experience, evoking a sense of wonder and reverence for the raw beauty of the American Southwest. It's a must-see destination that leaves an indelible mark on the soul, showcasing the timeless allure of the Navajo Nation's natural and cultural heritage.

I considered Monument Valley to be a “must see” on our road trip. We stayed in one of the cabins on-site so we could see the sunrise. I was not at all disappointed. We had a Navajo guide for our tour; he gave a lot of insight to Native inhabitants and lifestyle.

The place is definitely worth visiting! You pay $15 for vehicle and have a chance to see all these breathtaking rock forms by driving to them. There are several stops on the route for admiring the views and taking photos. I would suggest spending here 2-3 hours.

Writing Rock State Historic Site

Beautiful park with grills, pavilion & playground. Cleanest porta-potty I've ever seen! 😁 So interesting and a cute place to take the kids.

Very beautiful views around Writing Rock State Historic Site.  I enjoyed my time there.

Very cool place to visit, needs a little up keep . Overall worth the side trip.

This small park is a very interesting historical place to visit. It has enclosures with picnic tables to protect you from the wind, restrooms and grills. For the kids it has a play ground and plenty of room to explore! The rocks on the hill are a very interesting piece of history. Don't forget to sign the guestbook and bring the bug spray.

Really high quality little park. It has an incredible and well preserved unique piece of history, park benches, a couple small pavilions, a fairly new playground and basic restroom facilities.

Gone Wild Safari

I went on 11/05/23 around 2:30 P.M., and it was the most fun and exciting zoo experience ever!

The camels are very aggressive...lol
There was a camel that literally took a cup of feed from the floor of the truck by my feet. Lol
I was a little terrified, but my reaction did not freak it out at all...it had a mission, and it took the cup without spilling any of the feed. Lol!!!

You will enjoy yourself here. I intend to go again.

It is very affordable, too. I believe $8.00 or so per person and $4.00 for the cups of feed.

Immersive drive-thru safari experience for all ages without leaving the country! Beware: you’re liable for possible minor damage sustained during the adventure to your personal vehicle. Also, the camels WILL steal the feed cups and we had it scattered in every crevice from one end of the car to the other 😩 Definitely worth it though. The ticket building had birds and reptiles to see, and there was a few fenced in areas to walk around and see animals. We stayed for about 2 hours, went through it twice. Family of 7, with 3 adults and 4 children spent roughly $80

It’s an adventure. Get up close and personal with the animals.  Watch out for the camels. They want the food and they will get it. They will stick there entire head and neck in your vehicle to reach it.  If you don’t mind a little camels slobber, not a problem.  The giraffes are very friendly.

Seriously bypass the camels. They're a$$h0l3s and will steal your cups and bite. They're just too aggressive. The rest of the park is well worth the experience.

Small but it's a fun place to visit. Love the people who work here and care for the animals. Drive through carefully and hold onto your cups tightly!😂 The camels will try to climb into the car and steal the food pellets🤔😉🤪😄

Jackson Town Square

A MUST for ALL ages!!! Man this place is soo cool, quaint, and NOT cheesy touristy at ALL!!! We're from Florida and travel a lot and have seen all aspects of tourist places for families or singles and this is a keeper and you'll wanna go back!!

Cozy center of town surrounded by some decent eateries and overpriced tourist trap bars & shops.
The town used to have meaning. Historic value. Check out Clint Eastwood I. 'every which way but loose' and 'every which way you can.' Much of the second film was made in Jackson and one gets a feel for it's charm. We started having annual family camping trips in the 80's near Teton Village. Now the campground is a private gated community with 7 or 8 twenty million dollar homes. Yeah, they're nice but get real.  When the average citizen cannot gain access, camp with their kids or share an afternoon doing what families have been doing there for centuries, it makes me sick knowing it belongs to the spoiled few who could in all reality care less about the rest of us, the past struggles of ordinary immigrants and trappers, their sacrifices and harsh realities. Not to mention the natives who once inhabited the land with reverence. The idea of 'owning' the land was preposterous to them. You cannot own the land. You take from it and give back. Let's give it all back to them so it can become as it once was: proud, glorious and free

This is a very unique picturesque public space. It is not very big but very beautiful.

It is surrounded by unique wooden boardwalks, local shops, art galleries and restaurants. One of the most notable features of the town square are the iconic elk antler arches, which were constructed from shed antlers collected from the nearby National Elk Refuge. There is a giant arch at each corner of the square.

The town square serves as a gathering place for locals and tourists, offering a variety of activities and events throughout the year. During the summer, the square hosts farmers markets where visitors can find fresh produce, local crafts and homemade goods. Art festivals, concerts and other cultural events are also held on the square, providing entertainment for visitors of all ages.

In the winter, the town square is transformed into a winter wonderland. Festive lights adorn the trees and an ice skating rink is set up for visitors to enjoy. The annual holiday tradition of lighting the town square Christmas tree attracts locals and tourists alike, creating a joyful and festive atmosphere.

In addition to its attractions and events, the town square is a starting point for exploring nearby Grand Teton National Park and world-renowned Yellowstone National Park. Visitors will find information centers and tour operators around the square, offering guidance and assistance for outdoor adventures.

What a beautiful square. The antler arches, war memorial, historic feeling and statues are great.
Very relaxing atmosphere and clean. All the shops, restaurants, and places of interest are perfect.

I like old places and cities...buildings are built in the old style, cowboy hats and fire water :) at least for a little while you travel in time...:) But the cityJackson was originally populated by Native American tribes including the Shoshoni, Crow, Blackfeet, Bannock, and Gros Ventre...

BrushBuck Wildlife Tours

Booked a full day Grand Teton Wildlife tour a few days before Christmas Eve. Kim from the office called me within a couple of hours for confirmation and pickup details. Had a really great time in the tour; Daniel was a great tour guide, he knows where specifically to spot the different animals, and also helped with getting pictures in his binoculars. We ended up seeing a bunch of elk, moose, Bisons and even a Bald Eagle at its majestic self!! Definitely recommend this tour during winter as most of the other areas of the park are closed!

We booked a dawn half day private tour of Grand Teton in December 2023. We had the best time with our guide, Phil. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the area. We had our almost three year old with us and Phil was accommodating to make sure it was enjoyable for us. We saw coyotes, bald eagles, elk, moose, and bison and had lots of opportunities for photos. We look forward to coming back and doing another tour, hopefully with Phil again!

We had an excellent all day tour with Rachel through Yellowstone Park. She is very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife. She was a fun tour guide and kept everyone engaged. She ensured that we saw as much wildlife as possible. She took pics and videos for us that were very clear. This tour was very exciting and enjoyable. I recommend you get Rachel as your guide. Yellowstone was a very beautiful and scenic park.

Yellowstone day tour.

We had a blast.  The tour exceeded our expectations.    Our guide Dani’s depth of knowledge was amazing.    She took us to all sorts of breath taking locations along the route.   She was always on the lookout for wildlife.    When we spotted a black bear, she pulled over and set up a scope for us to safely watch it.   Her profound love and respect of the wilderness was evident as she shared the day with us.   Thanks, Dani!

Our family did a Yellowstone tour last week with Wade. It was an amazing experience as we were all first timers. I'm so glad we booked the private tour! Wade was knowledgeable, answered tons of questions, and made this experience so memorable! We saw five grizzly bears and lots of wildlife. That day was the absolute best of a week-long vacation. I highly recommend this tour as well as Wade!

Cooke City Montana Museum

We thoroughly enjoyed our stop here.  There is no charge to go through the museum,  but you can make a donation if you like.  This was full of the history of this area. There is also a backyard tour where you can see mining equipment and other items. This location also has information and brochures for the surrounding areas and states.  There are restrooms and places to sit and relax.  There is even a picnic table of you want to sit and enjoy lunch or a snack. The staff was very helpful and very nice.

Nice town super friendly. Visit the welcome visitors center and go through museum.

Museum and visitors center was a pleasant surprise for a quick rest break.  Staff was very helpful and friendly.  Exhibits were relevant, interesting, and informative.  Nice restrooms and picnic tables.  Worth a look if you have just 5 minutes or an hour

It's worth the drive to Cooke City.  Explore Montana and learn about her past and history.

Located just a couple of miles from the North East entrance to Yellowstone Park. Closest entrance to Lamar Valley where you find it full of Bison. Staff was very knowledgeable concerning the area including Yellowstone Park. Recommend stopping in and picking up a state map of Wyoming and Montana.
