Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show was a popular western themed dinner show located near “La Grange”. Visitors would enter the show adjacent to the cinema. A large Mickey Mouse statue wearing a cowboy hat hung above the entrance.

Visitors could purchase tickets for the show at the entrance. Inside the arena, an exciting evening awaited diners as they met Wild West legends such as Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull, along with the spectacle of a herd of buffalos. Prior to the main event, there was live music on a small stage in the pre-show area. Many took advantage of the Western Photo Point to capture souvenir photos before the show began.

Upon entry, each visitor received a seat card indicating one of four colors, signifying membership in one of four clans. These clans were seated separately in the main arena. Once seated, guests were served drinks and food. The meal consisted of authentic Tex-Mex dishes, starting with a serving of chili and cornbread, followed by grilled meat, corn on the cob, and potatoes, and ended with apple crumble and vanilla ice cream.

Each show could house up to 1000 diners and usually ran twice per day.
