The Buffalo Bill Museum, part of the City and County of Denver's Department of Parks and Recreation, sits in Lookout Mountain Park and follows the life of William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and his touring Wild West show, with early recordings of his voice, advertising posters and programs, show costumes and a hands-on Wild West arena; the museum's site also mentions views from its observation deck. Summer hours (May 19-October 31) are daily 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; winter hours (November 1-May 18) are Tuesday-Sunday 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., closed Mondays and on Thanksgiving, the Friday after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Museum admission is $5* for adults (ages 18-64), $4* for seniors (65 and up) and $1* for ages 6-17, with entry listed as free under age 5; the gravesite and other Lookout Mountain Park amenities are free of charge.
