Book your getaway with Fireside Resort and read on to learn more about what to do at our local museums:

National Museum of Wildlife Art
The National Museum of Wildlife Art is the only museum dedicated solely to wildlife art, representing animals and artists from around the world. Plan a visit to the museum and see over 5,000 artworks from more than 550 artists from 2500 BCE to the present day. Marvel at the art inside the museum before exploring the outdoor sculpture trail featuring larger-than-life wildlife art backdropped by the scenic National Elk Refuge and the Gros Ventre Mountains. If you visit with kids, we recommend heading to the Children's Discovery Gallery for a family-friendly museum tour.

Jackson Hole History Museum
Step into the past and learn about our fascinating history at the Jackson Hole History Museum. Start your exploration in the Main Gallery and uncover 11,000+ years of human history through text, artifacts, videos, touchable items, and interactive kiosks. Then, walk to the historic log cabin from the set of the 1950s Western Shane before visiting the photo and artifact walls depicting everyday life of the past. Combine your museum experience with a historic downtown walking tour and visit our local landmarks and historic buildings with a local guide.

Jackson Hole Children's Museum
Take the kids to play, create, and discover at the Jackson Hole Children's Museum. Enjoy over 2,000 square feet of interactive arts, sciences, ecology, and history exhibits. This museum is the perfect place for kids to burn off some energy while visiting Jackson Hole.
