Buckle up cowboys, and get ready to take the reins at Sioux City Park - an authentic but not-quite-real Wild West town, built in 1972 to shoot western movies. If some of it looks familiar, you'll have seen it on your screens! Engage with real sheriffs, outlaws and townspeople. Look out for the bank robberies and gunfights, and even step up to the Sheriff's office. Everything here is for real - you can even enjoy a cool beer in the saloon. No Wild West adventure is complete without the animals. Kids will love the cachena cows, giant hens, emus and meerkats in the zoo. Everyone will get a kick out of the crocs! If you want some time in the saddle, too, opt for a ride in the "Land of Horses." There's something in Sioux City Park for every cowboy and cowgirl.
