Our Favorite Jackson Town Square Hot Spots

You can’t come to Jackson, Wyoming, without taking some time to explore the fantastic streets of downtown. Packed to the brim with old western charm, and an exciting diversity of shops, restaurants and galleries, this bustling town center offers fun for everyone. Here are a few of the best places to visit on the Town Square.

Take a Selfie at the Antler Arches

In the heart of Jackson, is the historic town center —  a quiet park lined with the iconic archways made of elk antlers. Every spring the local Boy Scouts collect all the fallen antlers from the nearby National Elk Refuge and each year one of the four Antler Arches is fully replaced with new antlers. It’s easy to spot the most recently replaced Antler Arch by the dark brown antlers (their natural color). The sun, snow and elements take a quick toll on the exposed antlers, turning them white. Around Christmas or at night, you’ll find the Arches covered in white lights, adding an extra something to the feel of being in downtown Jackson. The town center, marked by the four antler arches at each corner, is a great place to relax, people watch and snap an iconic photo. Plus, it’s the center of everything else there is to do in downtown Jackson.

Grab a Scoop at Moo’s

Repeatedly voted some of the best ice cream in Wyoming, Moo’s is a must if you’re into ice cream. Let’s be honest, ice cream is a delicious treat no matter what time of year (or how cold) it is. Moo’s ice cream is famously made with all organic ingredients and with 24 rotating flavors, there’s the perfect match for every kind of sweet tooth. We highly recommend the huckleberry!

Experience Western Art at Local Art Galleries

Located in one of the nation’s most beautiful settings, it’s easy to see how local artists are inspired by the landscape and surroundings of Jackson Hole. Check out amazing art work and craftsmanship at Jackson’s many art galleries. You’ll find paintings, sculptures, and all kinds of unique, western-inspired home decor. Purchasing a piece of local art is a great way to take home a piece of Jackson.

This iconic Jackson watering hole has saddles for bar stools, plenty of pool, and a lineup of weekend entertainment throughout the year. Established in 1937, this is one of Jackson’s most historic establishments. So come on in and enjoy a beer, sip some whiskey and get into that cowboy state of mind.
