    FREE museum; Variety of exhibits
    For this to be a FREE museum, I think it is well done. Wyoming territory has a history that goes all the way back to the dinosaurs! People who visit will be taken through the ages and see exhibits on early peoples, the role Wyoming played in westward expansion, national parks in the state, and lots of historically significant artifacts. This museum is conveniently located across from the state capitol building (another FREE attraction).

    Great Western Museum
    We are snowbirds and spend the summers in Fort Collins. We have devoted one day to visiting Cheyenne for the last several years, and this year was a visit to the museum and the capitol building. We highly recommend both. We spent about two hours in the museum which had exhibits that were interesting and easy to read descriptions of all the displays. Being originally from the east coast, we always enjoy learning about "the west" and all it has to offer. Free parking on the streets was plentiful and the museum was free. We highly recommend it.

    Great museum
    The Wyoming museum is really interesting and informative. It has paleo exhibits as well as a restored stage coach which used to take tourists around Yellowstone back in the day. There also is interesting info on mining and pioneer history as well as good exhibits on Native Americans upstairs. It is worth a visit for sure!

Tripadvisorā€™s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This museum is free and has permanent and changing exhibits. There is a cool Yellowstone coach here and a mammoth bone. It has a gift shop and a hands on room for kids.

Great to read about all the history of the area. Itā€™s not a large museum but it had numerous interesting exhibits. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and inviting.

This is a fantastic small museum. My favorites were the models/miniatures and the silver set from the USS Wyoming. Free parking is easily available on the street.

Absolutely a must see when in Cheyenne. We throughly enjoyed the museum. So many artifacts, and great information about the Frontier Days. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

This was a very nice and informative museum that wasnā€™t busy on a Saturday afternoon. We enjoyed the childrenā€™s activities and the history of Wyoming.
The lady at the front desk was very helpful and offered my husband an available wheelchair to use.
The museum is free but we there is a donation box and a very nice gift shop.
Make this a must see on your travels.
