Things to do in Cheyenne

Cheyenne's strongest day moves from the Union Pacific Depot through downtown to Capitol Square, then drives north for Frontier Park or east to Big Boy 4004 at Holliday Park.

Wyoming State Capitol

Walk through the restored 1888 Capitol when public hours permit, then cross to the Wyoming State Museum for a broader account of the state.

Cheyenne Depot Museum

The landmark Union Pacific depot explains how rail construction, repair shops, and Sherman Hill power shaped the city.

Frontier Park

The Old West Museum holds carriages, rodeo artifacts, art, and the history of the summer celebration; event weeks require a separate crowd and ticket strategy.

Big Boy 4004

The retired locomotive stands outdoors at Holliday Park, where its scale is immediate even when museum doors are closed.

Stand beneath the Depot clocktower

The 1887 station's red sandstone, Romanesque arches, and rail exhibits make it Cheyenne's most convincing first stop.
