Tripadvisor’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.

On Sept. 6 we again stopped here with 15 people on the way back from Yellowstone, figuring the welcome center would be open on a Tuesday. It was and everyone was really glad we stopped as the facility is most interesting, informative and well done, a very worthwhile stop. Most important, the little sign on the entrance doors to the main area now says open every day, unlike last time when we were so disappointed that the display rooms weren't open weekends. I change my rating from 1 to 5.

On Sunday, Dec. 5, I took 15 other people for a day trip from Denver to do two things: see this much praised visitor center/museum and ride the train at Terry Bison Ranch. Good thing the train was running as nothing but the bathrooms open at the visitor center. Our group was VERY disappointed. Website says open 7:30 to 4:30 every day, but when you get there, there's a small sign that says displays not open Weds., Sat. and Sun. Obviously, this should be noted on the website as if people want to make a trip just to see the place, when else would they be likely to do it but Sat. or Sun.?

The Mammoth skeleton is huge. The exhibits about Wyoming both fun and educational. Plan 1/2 hour. Free. Good bathrooms. Lots of state information. We ate our picnic lunch here at shaded picnic area.

This is a REAL rest stop. Free rv dump, fresh water and, unlike the drugged, greedy state that Colorado, which we passed thru without spending money has become In the last 9 years, they have real dumpsters which means travelers don't trash out the place. They have highway signs saying free wifi, but I couldn't find the ssid. Comfortable until the fool from Texas parked his generator right outside our bedroom window and ran it ALL NIGHT LONG. I've been thru Texas too, ignorance runs rampant in Texas so we weren't surprised. We were were even more annoyed when their uncontrolled offspring started running around unchecked, beating on the side of our motorhome and just being a loud and unwelcome nuisance at 6am. Usually though, these types of inconsiderate idiots aren't common and this is still our favorite stop in the region.

My family stopped here, expecting a typical rest stop. What we found, in addition to the cleanest facilities we have ever seen in a public location, was something far different -- an interesting introduction to Wyoming's history. We didn't have time to take it all in, but I would recommend to others that they put some time aside and take advantage of the exhibits both inside and outside the Welcome Center.

Stopping for a bathroom brake can be educational. That's the way these Welcome Centers work. You can learn about the region a lot. There was a display related to drilling for oil and mining the coal - natural resources, which are in this region very popular. There was also a person helping and answering all questions. I really liked this place and this idea of educating the tourists.

Driving cross country with my pup. We needed a break and stopped. Center is clean, modern, and bright. Lots of history there. Facility is 1st rate. Grounds are nice. There is a pet exercise area which is a small corral. Animals can run and play, safely.
FELT LIKE A MUSEUM. So much history to learn about. Nicely decorated. Lots of parking.

We will be stopping in Cheyenne on our way to Yellowstone with our travel trailer. Is there parking for large rigs and can we stay overnight here?
Hello, so sorry for the delay in answering your question. There is parking for large vehicles and there is a time limit of 4 hours.
