My family and I absolutely loved this museum! The museum offered a stunning tribute to the women who shaped the American West. The museum's beautifully curated displays highlight the courage, resilience, and spirit of cowgirls through a variety of mediums, including photographs, artifacts, and detailed biographies. These exhibits provide a deep dive into the lives of these remarkable women, showcasing their contributions to ranching, rodeo, and Western heritage. The museum's vibrant atmosphere and thoughtful presentation make it a must-visit for anyone interested in American history and women's contributions to it.In addition to its engaging displays, the museum features numerous interactive exhibits that captivate visitors of all ages. Children and adults alike can enjoy hands-on activities that bring the cowgirl experience to life. From virtual rodeo rides to immersive multimedia presentations, these exhibits are both educational and entertaining. The museum's commitment to creating an enjoyable learning environment ensures that visitors leave with a greater appreciation for the legacy of cowgirls and their enduring impact on American culture.

I knew I was going to visit Fort Worth, Texas, and Googled things to do. One of the first things was the Cowgirl Museum. I was like, HOW PERFECT. It was easy to get to, and there was plenty of parking. I really liked the sculptures outside and around the building. Make sure to take a picture with the giant boot outside the front door.The museum inside is gorgeous. It is very clean and easy to navigate. There is a fee per person to enter. The gorgeous dresses, saddles, boots, hats, and other pieces of history on display were amazing. I thought the museum was very informative and good for all ages.I like the interactive areas like designing your out boots or horses on the giant screens. I also really liked the photo booth as a keepsake for visiting the museum that you can text to yourself.

Great museum! We really enjoyed it!There are great exhibits, don't want to spoil anyone's surprise but the exhibits were dry well appointed and organized, took us about 3 hours to go through it, taking our time. The staff was knowledgeable and very personable, 'Texas Friendly', and had great background information on many topics! If you're visiting Ft. Worth, it would be great to visit this first, then head on over to the John Wayne museum, and then visit the stockyards!

People who are into cowgirl culture already know they want to visit. This review is for everyone else. It's worth it. There, I've said all you need to know.Using my wife, who is a normal person, as a baseline, I'd say I go through museums at 3x the pace of other people. I enjoyed not quite an hour here. So that suggests other folks could spend at least two hours, maybe three hours, looking at the history of the cowgirl, fancy hats, TV show props, and whatever else is the special exhibit.I was there with my friend Ali. We ran a half marathon which ended right there. So this seemed like a good choice for the afternoon. It was.I like to take photos. I shot several hundred. There are terrific subjects. The curators are self-aware about the mythology of the west. That is what was most impressive. On the one hand, they catered to, with utmost sincerity, the crowd who is enamored of Manifest Destiny ideology, the frontier as a concept, and the rugged glamour of rhinestones on saddles. On the other hand, the texts gently point out the romanticization of an era by those living several generations later, whose fictions in pulp novels and movies then were accepted as reality several generations further along: for the twenty-first century, the accepted version of the west of the nineteenth century is a twentieth century invention, through and through.

I have always bypassed this museum thinking it would be too dry. Boy was I mistaken!It's beautiful inside and uses the latest technology. There are transparent screens with old pictures and videos showing on both sides. There are fantastic bedazzled rodeo costumed by Nathan Turk. Alexander McQueen and more. An exquisite display of Hermes scarves. Rotating exhibits- at this time of Annie Oakley which is extremely interesting and fun. Definitely worth checking out.

Visited on International Women's Day, thought it would be a great day and honor. Almost didn't get a chance to visit the museum because of a cleaning product used was strong smelling. The worker at the front was asking my daughters and I to return the next day. Although a lady and her mother coming out expressed how they enjoyed the museum. So then I'm standing there with my children wondering why were they allowed in at their own risk but we are not about to be allowed in. Then to be asked to pay for parking again the next day. I explained to the associate we made a special trip out to the museum on our Spring Break. We are not out on break the following week in Plano/Allen and had plans for the next day. Luckily, another associate over heard the conversation taking place and allowed us to come in. Overall, we enjoyed the museum. My children enjoyed riding the bucking horse upstairs. The experience would've earned 4-5 stars but due to the conflict of getting in 3 stars. #CowgirlMusuem#ItsNeverJustaHorse

We stopped in to take in the 1883 exhibit at the museum. We were anxious to see what props they would have on display from the Taylor Sheridan production. Even though there many props, the show's production was well represented. It was a small be wonderful exhibit. All of us enjoyed the visit to the museum. We spent a while going through all the history and achievements that cowgirls had contributed to western culture.

Super cool place to visit. Had a great time they have a lot of interesting history. They play short projector films that include informative background of events. The art work on the walls is great. The photo booth and mechanical bull weren't working during my visit but overall the staff was friendly. Nice attractions outside of the museum as well. Prices are reasonable I would recommend a visit here.

Wow! What an amazing and inspiring place. The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame have been on my bucket list for some time now and I am over the moon that I was finally able to visit this last weekend. Unfortunately, the second floor is currently down for renovations and is estimated to open in the Spring of 2019, so our visit was quick but memorable. Due to the second floor temporarily being closed, the admission is temporarily lowered to $5.00 a person and is worth every bit of the $5.00 and more. The first floor was amazing! We started with the movie that is played right by the entrance and instantly, being a cowgirl myself, I almost started to cry. Call me emotional, sensitive, whatever you will but the video was fantastic. Once you move along to the interactive items such as the photo booth, ipads hanging from the ceiling with action pictures and videos and holograms! Wow. The museum really out did themselves, bringing these cowgirls to life. You really felt like you were there with Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill. Bravo! I am beyond excited to come back and see what is in store for the second floor. Highly highly recommend.

First time coming to this museum. It was nice to see some of the history of women in the cowgirl world. The staff was nice and friendly. The place is quiet and clean. If you want to learn more about the history of cowgirl women, I definitely recommend attending the museum.
