It felt like an all encompassing lesson for Wyoming history from the beginning of known origins to the present time. Very informative displays from the ice age and impressive fossils and an explanation as to the significance of this area for archaeological discoveries. Then the more well known historical records regarding settlers, Native Americans, and the western world evolving in the last several centuries were addressed. Finally, present day concerns and concepts were presented with video viewing in the small theater and displays featuring human interest stories and items. (Photos posted with this review, approx 30+.) Museum is a multilevel building. Fully accessible for all mobility levels. Free street parking. Restrooms were clean and well maintained.

Definitely an unexpected find in Cheyenne, this smaller private museum holds a unique collection of…read moreCheyenne and Wyoming artifacts. Very much worth the $5 entrance fee, I enjoyed the 90 minutes I spent here and would give it a firm recommendation. A number of hunting trophies from smaller to large sized, which definitely is not my thing. I was able to look past those and see the more human-made artifacts. Military uniforms and other clothing for enlisted and officers through several different conflicts. A huge collection of firearms, including some classic pistols and some amazingly well maintained rifles. A collection of law enforcement items including badges, guns and handcuffs.

She was nice and enjoyable to talk with. Whatever is in the Wyoming grasses helped make for a flavorful meal.

A recent experience with Kansas grass-fed bison was passable, however less exciting.

They have a good size Kid Zone. Then they have the history of Fort Collins. Then, I believe, they have a rotating exhibit. At the time was all about Skin. On humans and animals. It was fascinating. Then the best part was the music area. So much interaction! It was great! Definitely recommend. Will definitely be here again.

There is so much to do and explore here! The music section is definitely a favorite as you get to test out so many instruments! Everything was well maintained (minus one or two exhibits that weren't functioning at the time). The toddler area is great for the little ones to be separate. Personally, I was absolutely stoked for the shadow wall - it's just a fun/silly thing to do. When we ventured upstairs we didn't realize there was a theater until a staff member asked if we were there to see the show. Since we had to get going, I asked if I could peak in real quick to check it out and he was totally fine with it. It looks so cool! We will definitely be back to catch a show in the future.

WRONG for two reasons: (1) there are many other buildings besides the actual prison, and some have stuff to see inside; (2) there is a lot of history - especially outlaw history, duh - presented by many poster-sized photos of inmates with their individual stories, plus maps and some historic items. Oh yeah, there's also a guided tour you can take; I recommend it. And finally, there's a gift shop; my wife bought a book of old WANTED posters and has really been enjoying the colorful way outlaws used to be described! Pro Tip: bug spray.

The house itself is stunning; having been beautifully restored to Victorian splendour, it's charmingly reflective of the way its former residents would have lived. But it's the docents who are the real stars here - they're a group of incredibly passionate, lovely people who take every group of visitors around to introduce them personally to both Avery House, and the history of Fort Collins as a city. We especially enjoyed being able to explore and ask questions about all the small details in the house, from the furnishings to the lifestyles and stories behind every item. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone living in, visiting or passing through Fort Collins for how it lets you take a great look at one of the most interesting portions of the city's past.
