Reviews of National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame (Museum)

בנימן הגלילי

Belt buckles! Conspicuous lack of mention of the faith of these women. If you know museum presentations, this one is lacking.

Chuck Lewis

It was awesome! I luved Cathy Smith's horse exhibit! She's amazing amazing!

Cyrine Cheikhrouhou

Nice museum with a nice story, it taked u to the past to live the same feelings of the women that had been fighting for them rights at that time and to have the right to be a cowgirl and wear pantaloons and not skirts

Shelbie Turner

Such interesting history! Even better I was able to take my toddler without an issue, unlike most museums. Lots of women empowerment stuff. Beautiful details throughout. Definitely worth the visit.

Chance Clark

excellent exhibit honoring the American Cowgirl.

Elaine Brantley

The museum is undergoing renovations so only the downstairs exhibits are open... Which are all AMAZING. The entry fee for adults is $5 and definitely worth it. The installations are now accompanied with holographic projections, each telling a different quip or story. Definitely a fun place to explore!

Elaine Mund

Always fun & informative

Terri Karaffa

A must see! Love Texas!

Alexandra Jones

An amazing, meaningful experience with wonderful insight into the influences on a culture that shaped America.

Jim Driver

Great museum; however, only the 1st floor is currently open. The 2nd floor is closed until this time next year for renovations.

Christopher Laughlin

Very interesting

HEATHER STOEHR

This museum has a great theme and tries hard but there are limited displays and few actual cowgirl memorabilia. I would suggest they acquire a LOT more old ranching gear, outfits, saddles, boots, etc so there is more to look at. Quite a great idea, disappointing how limited the collection is. For the only COWGIRL exhibit, we need more cowgirl gear from all time periods.

Esme Morales

Esta genial este museo !!

tammy sch

Such a treasure. The wonder women costume from the latest movie is awesone!!

Seth Lawson

Matt “Gamer” Watson and his father Dale “The Rock” Watson would approve, very epic

Kelly Biedenharn

Love this place! Definitely visit!

Constance Daniels

Not much to see

Jared Nichols

Amazing place to take the kids!

JOSE NEGRON

Awesome place even for kids

Philipp Froschauer

(Translated by Google) Nice museum about cowgirls their story and known equestrians (Original) Nettes Museum über Cowgirls ihre Geschichte und bekannte Reiterinnen

Shannon Crowson

History baby history. Must see

jan achenbach

Wonderful exhibits that promote "girl power". "You go girl" takes on new meaning to describe the contributions women have made in the West. Kid-friendly but meaningful to grown ups as well.

Betty Relph

I haven't visited this museum in quite a few years. A friend and I visited on the first Sunday after the recent remodel. This place is so very interesting, and the live movie mural of the horses upstairs is breathtaking. It's like you could reach out and touch them. The vistas alternate, and the weather / time of day changes. It surrounds you. There is also a small horse statute with saddle so young ones can practice getting up and down from a horse. We enjoyed being whooping it up on the bucking bronco. It sent a short video to our email. There's also a photo booth where you can choose to have photo taken with Annie Oakley or other Western scenes. All in all we spent over three hours enjoying the Cowgirl Museum. Check out the real Wonder Women costume, and read up on the horse expert that worked on the film. Cheers or should I say Yee Haw

Lyndon Bartlett

Top floor was closed, but my girls still ask every other day if we can go back.

Mickey Moon

Fun for kids and interesting for everyone who likes history.

Barry Henson

Awesome place

Seth Hall

An amazing Museum to bring your kids

K Rhodes

Very inspirational! Wonderful collection of artifacts that exhibit the historical struggle of women in the West to contribute and participate in the daily hardships of establishing themselves in the communities of Texas. Their story is one that everyone should experience through visiting this Museum.

brianda vizcarra

Love taking pictures in the booth. And the walls up stairs are my favorite!!

daniel snyder

Great visit with the family!

Gip Plaster

Seems to be a large events hall surrounded by some exhibits. Those with an interest in cowgirl culture will find it dull with lots of wasted space.

Jodi Ruonavar

Went to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame with a really good friend of mine. We had a great time.

Sara Juarez

Unfortunately the 2nd floor is under renovation

Tania Woodruff

So cool! Exhibits are well curated, and the photo booth is really fun!

Beverly Davis

A great experience! My kids especially loved the historic photo booth!

Dawn Simosky

Cowgirl from birth and still one at heart. Love this history of this museum. From Annie Oakley to current day cowgirls. A must see for any girl, or boy.

Lynn Baber

A beautiful installation if you like metal, lucite, and electronics. Several years ago we went and loved all the artifacts on display. We were so impressed with how many pieces the collection offered. Last week we took two guests from out of state. Most of the collection is now accessible from electronic portals. Seeing a tiny photo of a pair of boots isn't the same as seeing the boots. To even see them you first have to know which lady you're interested in, find her on a video screen, CLICK, see the numbered options at the bottom of the little screen and CLICK until you see something interesting. A beautiful generic place that could be anywhere in the world once you walk inside. Except for the video walls of horses running in pasture (nothing about cowgirls...) it could easily be converted to any purpose - just change the video. The main displays upstairs are on five white tables. Our guests were polite and very disappointed.

Dino Ebener

An extremely well kept and clean museum; very interesting and inspiring too.

Brian Dougherty

What a cool museum! If you find yourself here, visit!

Carl Gauthier

Much better than expected! Informative and we'll organized.

Lesli Crandall

We had a great time, here. I really enjoyed the interaction with the exhibits.

gustavo gonzalez

Cool place

benjamin hernandez

I love going to this museum. The permanent collection is lovely and always nice to look at. The traveling collections are always awesome. The museum has programs/activities available during the summer for kids and adults. The best part about the museum is that it is free to the community to experience all types of art and subjects

Liese A Ricketts

Loved it. Amazing gift shop!!!! Liese

Schneider Art

This is such a wonderful museum to take in.

Bradley Simmons

Love it

Chris Chambers

Really, really cool to be able to take my daughter (she's 3) and two sons (they're 2 and 11) here and show her/them all the brave cowgirls! Lots of really fantastic artifacts, clothing, sterling and turquoise jewelry and possibly the most beautiful custom saddle I've ever seen! Nice mix of historical highlights explained and delivered in a way (holograms of Annie Oakley acting out significant historical events, throughout the exhibits) that even my PICKY "know it all" 11 year old was impressed! And that's saying something... The curator of this museum obviously has put in a great deal of time and effort into making sure that what could be seen as a very dry and lackluster page in our history books isn't!! In fact, it's quite the opposite! Make sure to stop on your way out and take your spooky, old timey black and white picture of you and your family alongside a shotgun toting, Annie Oakley as she poses for a picture with you before fading off into the dusty wild wild west... Oh and it's entirely FREE, or at least it was during the FWSS&R!

Sam Lemons

It just talks about clothing that they wore

Reneé Lasswell

Starts off with boy cowboy stuff, but then leads you into the women. It was interesting and had good interactive activities but some areas neat those activities would get really loud making it difficult to hear the exhibits.

Chuck May

Great view of American history and right here in beautiful Fort Worth

Patrick Patterson

Building from outside is nice.

M Frog

Great knowledge staff and curators.

Natasha Norton-chelf

Was a wonderful educational experience.

Maureen Wilson

Very unique!

Casey Bruno

It cost $16.00 but it was worth it.

Roy Farr

Worth a trip

Colin Jones

Fun time

Allison Allen

This is a must see for every cowgirl or cowgirl at heart! Lots to see and do with fun interactive activities. Takes about 3 hours to see it all. And the gift shop is excellent!

The Girls

Though it is not meant for young children, it has some fun interactive displays and a wonderful gift shop. The staff is also very kind.

Betty Ann Mullins

Excellent

thien nguyen

Summary (4/5): a somewhat small, but beautifully designed museum that offers a comparatively small selection of items complemented well with technology. For $12 per adult , the cowgirl museum cannot compete with enormous museums that have multiple exbibits and a hoard of historical artifacts. Yet, the pieces that they do have are well complemented by digital imagery and mini hologram videos. It provides a good overview of the contributions and accomplishments of various cowgirls and the addition of a free photo booth and mechanical bronco is a pleasant surprise. However, the narratives of various cowgirls are not as cohesive as I'd like, and the fact that parking is a flat $10 makes it value diminish.

Diane B

Very beautiful Museum. Great exhibits on Annie Oakley and the Wild West shows. The upstairs has lots of saddle and tack on display from movies, tv, olympians, jockeys, etc. As an equestrian, I had a really great time and would love to go back and spend more time there.

Susan Formanski

Updated museum is beautifully done. Holographic stories make history come to life. Interactive displays make the visit even more fun. Well worth the trip.

Carmen McCullough

IF YOU HAVE NEVER GONE GO.....TAKE THE FAMILY ON A DATE NIGHT

Yuan Zhou

As a female, I really inspired by the spirit from the cowgirls and their stories. Whatever you are doing, stand straight and tall!!!

Todd Dunham

My sons and I took my wife to see this museum today. AMAZING!!! WILD WEST MEETS HARRY POTTER High tech LED displays, modern art and historical artifacts. Companies like " Displays Unlimited " played a large role in prepping this must see I you want a glimpse into women of the west... come check out these cowgirls

Emily Goldsmith

Very educational, modern, staff was very knowledgeable

Shawn Davlin

Went there before the rodeo. Great exhibits.

FriscoKidd

Wonderful new exhibits. Technology integration was very user friendly and allowed for a far more enjoyable experience.

Candice Duvall

Took my nieces here and enjoyed the gift shop and all the historic finds! We had so much fun and it truly was a girl powered experience! If you are visiting and want to dog into Fort Worth culture this is a must stop!

Mary Letterman

Inspiring museum with the best media I've seen. Take advantage of the museum made photo opportunities. There are other terrific museums in the complex.

Rachel Tang

lots of good information in a beautiful museum about the cowgirls in the wild wild west showtime era. Have to be a horse lover to fully appreciate it

Jason Browder

An incredible museum. A must see for everyone.

Dorothy Elizabeth Clark

Beautiful place, very modern.

Gloria Sellers

I'm a wanna be cowgirl. It was very exciting to see history on my cowgirl heroes.

Terry Jordan

Not much there. The entire upper level was closed

Felix Rakhmanov

Hey what can be bad about this?

Alain Chotil-Fani

Nostalgique évocation d'un âge d'or vu à travers l'histoire des cow girls. Pas indispensable, mais sympathique et bien fait. Accueil amical.

C Y Cooper

If you're a visitor to Fort Worth, Texas or a resident of the city, take some time and enjoy The National Cowgirl Museum. It showcases the cowgirls of yesterday and today and it's a story that needs and deserves to be heard by everyone.

Troy Britten

Awesome experience

Diny Jut

We have learned a lot about cowgirls

tara archer

Amazing and educational

Greg Noeninckx

Interesting exhibits, especially the Native American aspect.

Rick Newton

Didn’t know what to expect here. The building itself is beautiful outside and the inside is just as well done. Beautiful! The museum is very informative and we enjoyed learning about cowgirls and their contributions and their experiences. The museum is very well laid out and the exhibits are fantastic . You get to hear and see things about cowgirls and the horses. This is a 5 star place that you need to see.

Timothy Wulf

Wonderful experience! Interactive exhibits. The video walls surrounding the exhibits is amazing. My wife fell in love with the museum the moment we walked in the door.

Berry Abundantly Blessed

Super fun place for this Yankee to visit!!!

毛顯鶯

A lot of cool stuff worth seeing

Michael all day

Love the scene great history to learn

Chris Kinberger

Enjoyed the exhibits and history. Friendly staff.

Stacy Barks

The architecture of this museum is wonderful and some of the exhibits are just breath taking. There are many wonderful artifacts, but I would have liked to see more history into the women that opened the sport for future generations.

Robert Brake

It was great history

Lori Hankins

I love going through the museum and it's also a great place to host special events!

Charity Bankhead

We had an awesome tour guide. I think her name was Tad. She is a real cowgirl.

Don Swanson

The Cowgirl Museum was fantastic. Really beautifully designed & everything displayed; art, special exhibits (boots & cowgirl hats) & special mentions we're outstanding. As a previous horseowner I appreciated the wall of video horse scenes very real & personal. So impressive & gift shop was fun & awesome. The artist with special gallery in the museum & photographes & paintings on the walls & stairways we're exquisite. Loved it all!!

Ginger A. Thompson

Great exhibits!

Lisalee Parisi

.A very interactive museum's. Love the tiles on the ceiling and the bucking horse for adults and kids.Love the antique scarves

Caitlin McManus

Half of the museum was closed for renovations. Still saw some cool stuff but not much.

Faye Campbell

Fun informative place

Marla Irizarry

Place full of historical information. Once you walk in you feel proud of the legacy of the ladies who change the story and made a difference. Women who open the door for the new generation. This was the day of the re opening of the museum and inauguration of the second floor where the costume of Wonder Woman dress by Gal Gadot was exposed.

Garry Weber

Smaller museum but EVERYTHING was top notch! Ingid was very kind and helpful. Wonderful art and artifacts depicting women in western/cowgirl life.

Alisa B.

A must visit while Cowtown. Showcasing the history of the cowgirl and all the amazing clothing and artifacts that are part of history. From back in the wild West to TV Westerns and today's modern cowgirl. Loved seeing all costumes and reading all the stories. It's right next to the Fort Worth museum of Science and History too, so you can check out both in the same day.

sisters forever MML

I loved showing my 3 little girls how women could be great, interesting, and powerful

Patrick G

This is a MUST SEE place! It is a state of the art museum and a magnificent tribute to the strong women of the West!

Roy Vartabedian

Took my wife there as part of her Birthday (she loves horses, the outdoors, and history). She loved it! We ran out of time to see and read about everything. There are several interactive parts of the museum that are really fun. You can take pictures of yourself in cowboy/cowgirl settings and print them out and send to your phone. You can ride the bucking bronco and make a video you can watch and see online. The quality of the exhibits is very good and displays are appealing. A few things for kids, too, although we came by ourselves. You may be able to save $7 for parking if you can find a spot and walk in rather than park in the adjacent lot.

Marina Ellen

It's a cowgirl museum, what's not to love? The museum was still under renovation when I went, but the bottom floor was finished. It was gorgeous. Modern layout, clean white walls, and an inviting atmosphere. Personally, I found the small size of the exhibits to be refreshing and not overwhelming. Oh and they have a great photo booth.

mich deva

Architecturally - a gorgeous building. Very new and spacious inside. Amazing artifacts inside and we loved the free photo booth downstairs (the paid one upstairs had less interesting photo options). Upstairs was as inspiring with all the modern era cowgirl featured. Made me proud to be a woman. Too bad it was only visited today by women and their children. Only downside was the gift shop was very pricey.

txmac1966

Currently under renovations so you can only see half of it, on the plus side it's only $5.00

Laura Cannon

Very informative. Badass woman & fun photo ops

harveygirl_horse videos

Well-curated tribute to the American cowgirl. Not particularly child/family friendly. I like this museum but it does have a certain air of pretentiousness about it that seems odd given that cowgirls tend to be about the least pretentious people on the planet.

Brandy L. Haynes

Clean set up for all ppl.... Crowded with happy folks

Jefflyn Davis

The museum was very interesting and it had a lot of amazing exhibits!

Pat Ware

Wonderful exhibits, always changing. An impressive way to teach younger generations the heritage of the women in Western culture.

Brian Swann

I’ve never been there, but my wife is a championship rider. She just started working at the camera store a block away. I hope she goes there on her lunch. Cowgirls rock!

Micki Keathley-purvis

Great place to learn about "Our Women of the West". Truly a inspirational experience for all ages

Mark Gutierrez

Very nice bldg a nd very friendly people

Limor Naim

Very nice quit and funny (buth picture). Like the way they arrange the stories even for people not from USA. Fun for all family. Hope to fly and visit their again.

M V

Went here when it opened and it was pretty good. Now, it seems a boring shell of its former self with obnoxious docents enforcing illogical rules (kids do not seem welcome here). Given the size of the building, you'd assume they could make a museum worth the price of admission; sadly, they only seem focused on selling overpriced trinkets and gimmicky photos. Very insulting to real museums.

Jimmy Oliver

Glad we went !!!

Steve Freeman

As of Jan. 2019, much of this space is under renovation. General exhibit as much about wild west shows as about women in those shows. Surprised that there were few other examples of female ranchers or working cowgirls. Mostly females in wild west shows. Check out the photo booth where you get photo next to Annie Oakley or Buffalo Bill.

Gregg Pachalski

Cool history that I knew nothing about

Elliot Johns

Really cool

Stacey Turner

The museum is the best museum I’ve been to in a long time. It was incredibly well done, not overwhelming at all, and they had holograms of Annie Oakley recessed in the walls at adult eye level, but had toddler stairs with rails for kiddos so they could see too. They have a bronco ride that records your ride that you can text or email to yourself. They also had a photo booth with different scenes you could be added into. Prints and digital images are free! And they had a little bingo game/scavenger hunt thing for kids so the displays would grab their attention. You don’t win anything for finding everything but it was still fun. Out front they even have a little fountain/splash pad! Five stars and ALL the thumbs up!

Quinn Collard

Extremely interesting and inspiring exhibits!

Suzan Iverson

Was very informative, Annie Oakley display was really neat to see. Loved the interaction too. Learned a lot.

Ken Kuhl

The new exhibits are a huge improvement! My daughter loves the digital design room, where she can design cowboy boots, shirts and a horse and then have it projected on the wall. The Bronco Ride and movie maker is also much improved and updated. This is a great stop after a visit to the Science museum.

Joey Wilson

Awesome time they have made so many great updates!

Brandomicon

Here from supermega!

Isaac Murillo

They had great information and beautiful art work but I wish they had more items directed at kids.

Andrea Rice

This is such a pretty museum. I love how it highlights the experience of women in relation to being a cowgirl.
