Million Dollar Cowboy Bar- why bother?
  • Tip Rating:
  • This bar is very famous and I am not really sure why. The bar stools are made of used saddles and there is a breathylzer in the basement. Besides that, it is an overpriced bar with rude staff who are sick of catering to ignorant tourists who come in in droves to check out the wild west motif.

    If you must do it, go in, get your drink, and get out. Saddle bar stools are actually not as comfortable as they sound.

    Check out the Rancher, which hosts "Town Meeting" on Tuesday nights. All the locals come out for the cheap beer specials, there is a jukebox, pool to be played, and friends to be made.

    Ok, this isn't your typical...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Ok, this isn't your typical tourist trap but you have to be careful where you ride a snowmobile. I went flying across what I thought was a smooth field, only afterwards when it was too late I realized I was crossing a ditch. I hit the other side head-on and the snowmobile was stuck and trapped in the snow.

    The million dollar cow boy bar
    Well, that is a bit a too touristy place, but having a beer and observing tourists is also a nice activity for a short time. . .
    You can’t miss it on the west side of Central Square with the neon cowboy on its roof; wooden sidewalk, varnished pine tree pillars at the entrance, but no saloon-type doors as I would have expected. . . A very big room inside, very “classical” with a bar and not real cow boys sitting on the bar stools, and many tables with people sipping a beer or other beverages, eating sandwiches and other sorts of food, not far from junk food.
    I was expecting to find a smoky atmosphere (No, I did not really expect, from outside, it already looked as a tourist trap), with poker tables, horse odour, sawdust on the floor, nothing of all that; very clean, polite, well dressed people, rich atmosphere,. . . Ah, there are billiard pools. . . possibly the only “wild” contribution to this sad atmosphere.
    The beer was good and not more expensive than in other places.

    It is in the tourist trap section, because I was disappointed, but at least it is worth a beer.

    If you get there, have a microbrewery beer!

    There are other bars around, but I did not check.

    Ripley's Believe It or Not
    A familiar tourist trap (for U.S. travelers).
    Not a horrible option for a rainy day or if you broke your arm snowboarding (as I did).

    Info:

    Located in downtown Jackson just off the main square.

    Cost: less than $10 per person.

    jackosn Safari
    Safari to see wild life

    You can save yourself some money by doing this yourself. The Wilson-Mosse Road is a great place to see Moose,Elk and Deer. Bison and Pronhorn Antleope can be see readily by Mormon Row. so save some sleep and do it yourself!

    Stay away from main street...
    Stay away from main street Jackson. Everything is overpriced and overrated.

    Downtown Restaurant and Shops
    The downtown restaurants and shops are fairly expensive. Parking is also not easy.

    Walk around the Pioneer Park - featuring the antlers. Gun Barrel Steak house, China Moon restaurant, other restaurants further down on Broadway (western side of town) and secondary streets are good too.

    Various stores in the two Park's various locations usually have good products and prices.
