This grand western rail station is also home to the Cheyenne Farmers Market. They host a company called High Point Bison. I visited with their owner for a bit. She was nice and enjoyable to talk with. Whatever is in the Wyoming grasses helped make for a flavorful meal. In my experience, bison reared on Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming or Missouri grasses is generally fair to exceptionally delectable and rich. A recent experience with Kansas grass-fed bison was passable, however less exciting. read more

This a solid museum for my fellow train enthusiasts. It's clean, has great parking and even sits near a current rail line. They have great toy train displays upstairs and they cover train history very well. I made the three hour round trip from Denver and was mildly disappointed there was not more to see. The Big Boy is kept in a separate building and cannot be viewed unless it's a specific event. It's only ten dollars to get in so that's definitely a plus. I woujd suggest if you happen to be in Cheyenne, stop in, I'm. It sure I'd recommend a trip from far away. read more

We went on a Sunday morning. I went with a friend and her kiddo, who was in a stroller. It was a great morning, nice weather, we found parking easily. We walked toward the entrance and saw the iconic boot statues (so fun)! We went to walk in and the door was already propped. It wasn't open very wide though, so I pulled it open further so my friend could wheel the stroller inside. I messed up the propping of the door and couldn't get the door to stay propped again. I squatted down to try to figure it out, but whatever I did the door would just start sliding. After a few good attempts, I gave up and when I walked inside I said "Hi, I'm so sorry, but I can't get the door to stay propped open." The tall, thin, blonde/white short haired lady didn't even acknowledge me and had the most annoyed look on her face as she walked right past me to the door to fix it. You thought I said "your door prop is poop, you dumb lady," the way she responded to me. I looked at my friend and was like "well, then...." we looked around but were the only people in there and it was just weird with this awkward woman. We ended up using the restrooms (clean) and then leaving. I was glad to get away from that lady's negative attitude that just filled the depot. Whatever was there to see, wasn't worth going for.....stay outside around the fun boots and positive people. read more

Nice little museum regarding Cheyenne's historical importance as transportation hub. Lots of information and artifacts about the trains and railroads and everyone whom was involved. The displays had lots of historical artifacts to peek at. The upstairs was most model railroads displayed in very detailed miniature displays...very entertaining and amusing. read more

Very cool seeing all the different types of trains they used from the mid 1800's until present day! Great layout from start to finish

Beautiful fascinating and amazing. Tells the story of how we (imperfectly) developed this country.

This is a great accounting of the Railroad building process! A lot of pictures, documents, and a couple of videos. The building is something to look at just by itself. The second floor is filled with a miniature train world. Warning---- the city is very serious about the 2 hour parking. We received a ticket that was written 1 minute after our time was up. All the parking around there is limited. Enjoy ! read more

This is a neat little place to visit with the kids or when you are just in town. You need to have some time because there is a lot of information to digest. The staff was friendly and the place was nice and clean. All in all a good time. read more

Cool clock tower, neat building in general, Friday night there was music playing and we sat and people watched, fun spot

While I'm hardly a train enthusiast, I do enjoy most any kind of historical museum, so decided to give the Cheyenne Depot Museum a try. I saw the reviews which say that $7 was too much for the museum (Pro tip - the museum has now raised the price to $8), and frankly those people are right. As a museum, this is probably not worth $8. However, if you consider where the money is going and the important preservation work that it supports, $8 seems like a bargain donation. The museum is not large, but does give a good history of the Cheyenne Depot and of the American railroad more generally. My biggest complaint, though, is that the place was just a mess. There were large chunks of exhibits missing, with the adhesive still on the walls (with no signs of explanation or 'work-in-progress' notifications). There were exhibits (that is a plural) in which one or more information panels had fallen off the walls and were just laying haphazardly on the floor. It all seemed very unprofessional and a little disconcerting. The exhibits that did manage to retain their place on the walls were interesting and descriptive. While it would be nice if the museum put a little more pride in its appearance, it is worth a quick stop next time you're in Cheyenne. read more

This is worth the price of admission. I paid 8 dollars. And there is a lot to see. And they are always updating the exhibits. It has a lot of information and train lovers will enjoy it. Upstairs is great with the working Train display. Downstairs is great for the working exhibits and information. Plus upstairs is the viewing platform for viewing trains as they come and go. And they also have cards on the wall, you dial the number put in the code, and hear about the history. Definitely a Great Museum and dont forget Cheyenne Rail Days when they open up everything. If you dont like the museum you arent into trains, and i dont understand why you would be here anyway. read more

As far as train museums go this place is real nice collection, displayed professionally, in a wonderful location, extremely clean, very nice people, devoted volunteers, and upgrades see to be happening as well. Now that is a lot of information in a single sentence that cuts to the core. This train museum is a leisurely stop and reflection into the train history of Cheyenne. The building is maintained in elegant stature, from the lobby on up. The displays, when paused and soaked in, give pictures and history in a charming way. The upstairs model train area is a forever work in progress with attention to detail that cannot be appreciated without a volunteer showing and describing the work. Committed people are upgrading the models for uncountable hours. A worthy stop for sure. I am glad I stumbled upon the Cheyenne Depot Museum. read more

Great Romanesque architectural gem in the heart of Downtown Cheyenne. The interior although quite empty is still in impeccable condition and is a flashback to the olden glorious days of train travel in the West. Too bad passenger train transportation had gone downhill since the onset of automobile revolution. Hopefully the train depot can make a comeback again and return to its former glory, and Amtrak got a ways to go. read more

$7 is WAAAAYY to expensive for a museum that has practically nothing interesting. I can see that it would be interesting for a train fan. The upstairs portion where they were building the model train stuff was really the only interesting part. The tour part on the main level was pretty boring and could be gone through rather quickly. My friends' kids did not look to happy being there. I actually felt sorry for them, because there really wasn't much to see. read more

Stumbled upon this museum when we were exploring downtown Cheyenne. The museum shows the beginnings of Cheyenne during the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, the Union Pacific Depot and the Railroad it is named after. I believe the cost was 7 dollars per person. I thought it wasn't really worth the 7 dollars. Unless, you wanted to read a novel, you can pretty much walk through the whole museum in 5 minutes. There wasn't much there besides a bunch of photos are descriptions of the photos. read more

WOWEE!! What a great museum about railroad history and technology.

This was a must see if you are a train enthusiast. Great way to kill a couple of hours in Cheyenne. The history of the railway is excellent, the displays are well in order. The have a model train section that is hand detailed. And finally there is a observation deck where you can just sit and watch the mightily Union PacificTrains do there thing. I would highly recommend this museum. read more

We rented the lobby area of the depot for our daughter's wedding. Beautiful and spacious room. Only negatives we can say is it was very hot in the room and couldn't find anyone to adjust thermostat. Also, while we were setting up they allow people to walk through the space to use the restrooms. Overall we were satisfied and would recommend this venue. read more
