It was a wonderful day in Cheyenne, WY. We got to see multiple real trains go by outside the depot and to my surprise there is a real train inside the depot that's been taken apart and put back together. I got to take some pictures outside and then we found the out there was a small store just before the museum. My husband bought me a pair of Jade earrings, & we looked around inside, & found, the only way to go any further is to to pay to get into the Museum. It's $8 for adults, $7 for seniors or military, and children under 12 are free. Once we paid, I took 100's of pictures inside the museum, however those are for my memory, alone, because, I was told, all pictures on the outside could be posted, but, any from the inside should not be posted, that's why they need to come & pay the fee. It's how they stay opened. However, we had so many enjoyable experiences that brought us back to when we were young. There are so many things in the museum that, not only brings you back to a time of the railroads, but also to everything else that was happening during that same time frame. Thank You, Brén

Very cool places to learn about, see, and play with TRAINS! Learn about the history of Cheyenne and how the train depot played a big part in helping to establish it. It also has a lot of history information about Union Pacific. Took us about 2 hours to go through the whole thing. Lots to read and learn about. They also have different spots to sit and watch short videos. You can call a phone number and get a free audio tour through the whole thing. It costs $10 per adult, but kids 12 and under are free. I think 13-17 was about $7? It's definitely worth it. They also have a cool gift shop too. There are two floors to go through, and the second floor has a whole model set up. Look for dinosaurs. 🦖 Also, be sure to check out the Big Boy 4004 down the street after you go through the museum. It's awesome. It's at a park and it's free.

A neat place to go to if you're in town! Definitely worth it. Kids would love this place. If you like trains in any way, or have a kid that does, this is the place to go! If you're lucky, actual trains will roll past, since it is still an official train depot. Upstairs (there are large elevators, so wheelchair accessible) there is a large room with a long, continuous model train and railroad. Due to the time of year we went (winter) it was not running, but in summer it is supposed to. Additionally there was a smaller remote control train that you could turn on yourself. There is also a movie that replays upstairs to watch, if you wanted. It is an older movie. There are some children-safe things to interact with, such as a wooden caboose and train car that they can play in and take pictures.

Whether a local resident or an out of town visitor, the Cheyenne Depot Museum is a must for history buffs, train enthusiasts or just something to do with the kids, admission is easy on the pocket book, $8 or less with kids 12 and under free, located inside the historic Union Pacific train Depot, you can see the history of trains in Cheyenne, their evolution, the crews, equipment and the introduction of new technologies replacing older and obsolete methods, model trains and oral history lessons are located upstairs, gift shop is located downstairs and inside the National Historically Registered depot, worth looking around inside a depot that was once busy with traveller's from a bygone era.

A throwback to the era of steam locomotives. A must-see for all you train buffs out there, especially those enchanted with steam engines, like my father. Coordinate your visit with a tour of the UP steam shop, where they are currently restoring a Big Boy, and also house a Challenger. Unfortunately we did not see the steam shop as tours are very limited and sell out months in advance. You can get tour info directly from the depot museum web site. It was still worth the visit to the museum, even if you can't coordinate a steam shop tour. A bonus can be found just about a mile away where a Big Boy is on display outdoors at Holliday Park in Cheyenne. A great experience!

One of the best train museums we have ever been to and we go to lots of them. Every aspect of the Cheyenne part of Union Pacific history is covered from the surveyors, to laying the tracks, to Big Boy and everything you can think of related to steam engines. The history was excellent and displays were great. It’s located in the historic depot and is quite beautiful. The rooms have audios of men who worked in the train yards and on the trains in various capacities there is an audio tour. The Cheyenne Visitor Center is also located there. A wonderful experience, give yourself several hours. And thank you Michelle for being such a kind and informative staff member.
