STEP INTO THE OLD WEST
It’s 1884 and you journey to the Osage Hills where, just decades ago, millions of buffalo roamed…
You arrive to find they’re gone. No one has spotted a buffalo in the wild for more than a year. What happened to the Monarch of the Plains, one of the few species to survive the Ice Age and 500-year droughts?
Join other guests in the search for buffalo before they’re extinct.
