The Most Unusual Restaurant In Wyoming Needs To Be Experienced To Be Believed

The Safari Club in Thermopolis, Wyoming offers a unique dining experience with walls covered in taxidermy animals and a menu featuring hand-cut steaks and comfort food.

Wyoming has plenty of restaurants that serve tasty steaks and burgers, but there's a restaurant in Thermopolis that has the most unusual atmosphere that you've ever seen. For a one-of-a-kind dining experience, you need to visit The Safari Club.

The Safari Club is located at the Days Inn in Thermopolis. The address for the restaurant is 115 E Park St., Thermopolis, WY 82443.

From the moment you walk up to the restaurant's entrance inside the hotel, you'll see that it has more to offer than just delicious dining options.

The walls of the dining room are covered with taxidermy animals of all different species.

Many of the animals are arranged in scenes that depict their natural behavior.

Jim Mills harvested most of the animals on display here over the last 56 years, and some are very rare.

You'll find animals from everywhere on the planet, except for the North and South Poles. While Mills spent years collecting the animals you see here, now he focuses on hunting with an archery shoot and release technique. After the animal is shot with a tranquilizer arrow, it's examined by veterinarians, measured, photographed and released back into the wild.

While there's plenty to look at inside The Safari Club, the food is another reason to visit. You'll find juicy hand-cut steaks on the menu...

...along with tasty burgers, sandwiches, seafood, pasta and more.

You might even look up from your plate to see a live animal staring through the window at you! Local deer love to congregate outside, amusing diners with their eavesdropping.
