"We arrived just before closing time, which was a mistake. I definitely recommend spending plenty of time here. The visitor center is very well done. They have an excellent gift shop with a ton of books.

I appreciated that despite the fact the visitor center was about to close the host told us where we can park to walk up and see the jump after hours.

I think everyone needs to stop here. Great views, great displays, an amazing place to reflect and learn about the first peoples of North American."

"Compact, state park, well organized. Learn all about the plight of the indigenous people of the area. A lot of reading so children may bore easily, but its history is something every American should be aware of. Learn of the Buffalo Jump, read well detailed accounts of area tribes and even see a majestic bison on display.
For us, it was well worth the short trip off the 15 fwy."

"One may decide if it’s worth $8 going 7 miles (partly on dirt road) off of i15 to a barren cliff with the risk of rattle snakes, a small walk path that’s 15 minutes of site seeing with signage of which includes not a single one telling the actual history with a map of how the Native people sent the buffalo off the cliff. Nor the explanation of how they processed and preserved these animals once they had fallen.

I went happily into the visitor center to glean some knowledge about what there was offered at this site before deciding if I wanted to pay this fee cause from what I could tell, it was just a butte. The first question, where are you from? Second statement from worker, you drove into the gate so you need to pay the $8.

The visitor center looks nice, but the reality is non of the info actually talks about the history of this actual site. A lot of panels telling the current tribes and huge panels that probably cost a ridiculous amount to have a small timeline of the disparity in the 1800s that to this day still harbor discord from unforgiveness and a shame we have to live under after 200 years.

If you have a Montana resident in the vehicle with you or if you are working in Montana paying their taxes, but don’t drive into this park with a Montana car plate, you still have to pay. If you have a Montana vehicle in the shop and renting a vehicle that has out of state plates, doesn’t matter, you have to pay.

The National Park system honors entry to any National Parks pass HOLDER, not the vehicle. Because Montana chooses to regulate based on a hunk of metal verses honoring the actual embodied presence of the human being there, I am giving the entire state park system this one star review. There’s plenty of NP’s, BLM, and private tours to explore in MT before getting caught up in the unjustified rules of the state parks.

And the star goes to the young cashier because she actually is a very good worker and sweet person that is just having to be the regulator of the ridiculous way the state chose to regulate their fees."
