This was a very well done centre and if you’re interested in the history the centre is a must do. However, if all you want to see is the jump, skip the $15 ticket, and walk the free lower trail. It’s cheaper than the upper trail and better views.

We weren’t sure about visiting as it was so far off our route driving across Canada. We were very pleased we made the effort. The visitors centre appeared closed when we arrived, but we tried the door, and were welcomed in. This is a brilliantly designed visitor centre, you get clear instructions once you’ve got your entry wristband. Take the lift to the third floor, then up to the sixth, walk the last flight up ( there is a service elevator for disabled access) from here you walk out to the view point 200 m, then return inside and work your way down through the exhibition and various levels. Don’t miss the film on level 2, as it brings to life the events of the hunt.

Had never heard of this and of course the name is intriguing (this does NOT refer to bison's heads, interestingly). We felt a UNESCO World Heritage designation was a pretty big stamp of approval, so made the drive from down near Waterton. Really interesting exhibits and the film describing the buffalo hunt was excellent. I'm not a hunter but feel that this type of hunting was more humane than chasing and spearing buffalo over the plains. Fed the tribal members and provided warm hides for what must surely have been prodigious winters. Recommended for sure.

Set on side of hill, the museum is over several floors. The top floor is level with the cliff top walk where you can see along the cliff. Good views for miles. The museum contains lots of information, films and exhibits. Definitely recommended.
