Wild West of America

Walked in asked to buy a bag for more shopping since outside was a market get told to leave. Try and shop told leave as soon as I asked to buy a tote bag. Ross is nicer and o got something cheaper.

One of the oldest souvenir shops in all of downtown Denver. It honestly feels like a small slice of New York. We plopped right down here. I'd say there's a 50/50 shot of things. Be in the store being authentic and not and it it doesn't really correspond to price. That being said, the cultural status of this establishment is worth the visit alone, it has withstood at least three economic collapses over the decades (so I'm not sure if it's the same family that still owns it). Well this does have the messy clutter problem that a lot of similar stores have. That makes it very stressful for someone with my level of analytical thinking. The creative messy side of myself loves exploring this store and finding all sorts of new things. The combination of fossils, native American paraphernalia, and genuine cowboy products. You'll have no shortage of beautiful trinkets to take home with you to remember your journey to Colorado. That being said, I can't advise spending too much money here. After all, this is just a gift shop in the middle of our Capital. You will find much more unique and more likely to be authentic artifacts by visiting the real sites that are discussed here.

FYI this shares a door with the Souvenir Warehouse where you can walk between sales floors, so they're basically the same store. This is a decent place for finding your typical souvenirs and Denver/Colorado trinkets. It's all imported, but …

I went yesterday with my friend and 1 year old son and surely will be the last time I go. I entered their store with a Denver hoodie I had just bought from another store (where the buffalo roam Denver). A woman working here at Wild West followed us a block away into another store and when we entered the store loudly approached me and said RECEIPT RECEIPT! I then showed her my receipt of my shirt & baby toy I had bought from the other store, they do not have that shirt I was wearing in their store so not sure why she felt the need to chase me down. After that I went back to their store to ask for owner contact information and they continued to give me the stores phone number so when I called they answered the phone & kept saying the owner wasn’t there. Terrible experience, I have never been embarrassed nor judged like this before. She had ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to follow me & harass me the way she did. I believe they are racist. I highly recommend going to “Where the buffalo roam Denver” instead they are professional, friendly and have good quality clothes there! DO NOT GO HERE!

Wild west of America. 16th Street Mall. Denver Colorado. Awesome exploration! Stop on in for a souvenir folks.
