As you walk into the museum you at once feel embraced with the ole true west, you will never forget ,nor want to forget,a must see.

William Reisner

Best collection of wagons in the Rocky Mountain region.

Shane Hays

If you love history of the the old west,this is the place to go.

Erin Mcdonnell

Great little stop in Cheyenne. Great for a day trip. I'm not into rodeo but it was still interesting. There was an art auction/sale while we were there, very entertaining to view what the local artists had to offer, they're very talented.

Ronnie-Tammy Swann

Not worth the price. Sorry.

Heath Webb

Had a great time and will go back.

Blair Perdue

Nice museum to visit! All kinds of old horse drawn wagons

Dan Batchelder

I've been told this is the largest outdoor Rodeo arena in the world it's an incredible experience it's not something that you can do in just one day and go on down the road. It's something that should be experienced over several days since there's so much to see it's kind of like it going for a one-day visit to Disneyland that really doesn't want a lovely experience I recommended for anyone who can stop by.

Larry Hicks

Enjoyed seeing all the exhibit.

Ken Campbell

Andrew Miles

Tired of driving to Denver so I stopped into Cheyenne to see the museum, really good place to take a break. History of bull riding and country living back then is interesting. Can take less than hr to do. Worth taking the break from the road. Nice town.

Outstanding museum which brings the history of the west and Frontier Days to life. There are plenty of displays to touch, videos to watch and kids activities to keep everyone entertained. Additionally, the displays are constantly changing so there is always something new to see and learn.

As West as it gets. Do stop by if you're in the area.

Rob Whittecar

Awesome history of CFD.

Mmustangg Ggnatsumm

A freakin mazing!

Cindy Whitaker

RONNIE Dunn's photo exhibition was well worth the stop! The Lensmen Project (Ron and Ron) takes the rodeo excitement and brings it home as art. The interview portion is 2 good ole boys talking about the rodeo of all rodeos as from behind the lens. Lifesize images are unique. Pieces are selling unframed from 2 to 14 thousand. $ No t shirts or postcards to buy. Just an old fashioned exhibit. Check it out folks!

Tammera Garrett

Parking is tough and they will tow you. I witnessed several. Put your walking shoes on!

Rhonda Rutledge

First time and it was great

Lynn H.

This is must to see every year! Good times and great memories! Different entertainment every night!! That night was Keith Urban!!! OMG!!! The night before was Post Molone!!! Great atmosphere good vibes and one hell of a weekend!!

Debbie Bott

Love the museum and the museum store. There is so much history that I didn't even know and I am a local. Ronnie Dunn's photographs are fantastic (this is Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn). The store has all type of shirts, jackets and jewelry.

Todd Barker

This rating is for the Lane Frost statue only. I made my family let me stop here on our way through town on a long road trip just for this. You can stop here whether the rest of the facility is open or not.

Anthony Souto

The cost is 8 bucks to get in. One section of it was down for maintenance. Not a super large place. Does have alot ot interesting information and videos.

Darrol Tribbie

Lot wagons and the history of the rodeo.

Robert Hamburger

Very cool place, all the old carriages and the history behind them was my favorite part! I wont spoil it with all my pictures but here is a couple. I believe admission was $10 per person One could easily spend 2 hours here reading all the history.

Christina Bloodgood

The art room wasn't open but the rest of the museum was fantastic

Michelle Milnes

Amanda Graves Sanders

Really awesome place for a quick visit. Would love to come to the full festival.

Gman J

9 bucks to get in.

William Berg

Great place for western gifts and Cheyenne Frontier Days merchandise.

Tom D

Tried to get some information from the offices here. Rather than give me 30 seconds of their time I was instantly dismissed. Perhaps they should re read their own mission statement, and focus on being more community driven.

Deanna Quimby

If you like rodeo, western history this is the place. There are so many wagons of old restored and you could spend hours here.

Lee Hoem

Neat place

eric schmidt

Had a great time

Jason Peter

Seems a good place from outside. We were late . It closes at 5 PM

Craig Jack

Overview of one of the oldest rodeos in america

Lorin Lastinger

Had a great time visiting this historic museum!

KatherineBridwell Bridwell

Wonderful. Visited a couple of yrs ago during Frontier Days and enjoyed. Saw items I missed before.

John Truth

Push, shove, be a jerk. CFD officials do not care CFD officials at all levels believe it is a free all. Not one CFD employee or volunteer would support us after we had been in position for hours. Much aggression from them but no support after people pushed in on us after hours of the same position on the concrete.

Samantha Nostwich

Only went in to get a pressed penny. The gift shop was nice but didn't make it in the museum. Hopefully next time.

Kate Grace

Great portrayal of western and Cheyenne history. We loved it!!

ron wiley

What a wonderful museum we hope to come back when we can spend more time

Edward Battig

It's a fun family rodeo, fair

S Stinson

Rodeo is King in this area. Wonderful history visit.

Justin P.

First of all I hate Western themed anything, but this was actually pretty cool to go see. I went with my dad and nephew, my dad is originally from Wyoming and wanted to revisit some things from the past and this was one of them. I was skeptical at first, the parking lot was completely bare and it looked like a small building from the outside. Once we got in there we met a elder gentleman who looked at us a little strange with all our city slicker clothes on, but other than that he was probably one of the nicest people I met, he took the time to show us different exhibits after a short while he decided to part ways because he had other customers coming in, upon exploring we learned many amazing things about Cowboy history and the old west, they had a whole section based on the different tribes of Native Americans as well as many others such as bull riding, the normal days on the frontier, and even a little bit about safety and had one of the largest selections of pulling wagons I ever seen it's definitely a great place to check out if you're out in Wyoming and have some free time.

Katie Conway

Educational and loads of fun

Ashley Wiedau

Really interesting and so much information. Many things to see and a very large variety of subjects. Be sure to visit if you're in the area.

Debbie Prosienski

Enjoyed rodeo. Video

Phone Lady

Super fun for the whole family. Great interactive for the kids.

Jim Walter

A must see if you want to learn about the history of Cheyenne and the Daddy of Em All.

Always such a fun experience!!!’

Brittney Emerson

This is a place I would recommend to friends and family as the volunteer people at the front desk are always friendly and willing to give information on any thing cheyenne related.

Marguerite Cory

Exhibits were very good.

Jose Carrillo

It's a great place to visit, me and my wife had the best time ever, we will be coming back..

AMAZING

Ron Van Voast

Wonderful museum. You must visit!

Adam McGovern

Amazing wagon exhibit. Also a really informative history of the rodeo

ann garcia

We loved it, could've stayed there all day, but my feet got tired. Great movie provided a resting place. Oh, wow, what displays.

D&S Cooper

Part of the tour, it was fun.

Lauren Hunt

My parents loved it! They were visiting from CT and we stopped here for 30 minutes during the weekend trolley ride. I know my dad wishes we spent longer there! There are many interesting things to see inside and the gift shop is really nice.

R Scott Weaver

Fun place to view old west history and the story of "Frontier Days" in Cheyenne. Great collection of coaches!

Robert Wardenburg

Great carriage and wagon exhibit. Also wonderful movie about Cheyenne Rodeo days. Well worth the time.

Craig Smith

Awesome place to go. Spent a couple of hours and enjoyed the whole thing. Wish they had a self guided tour book. Lots of rodeo history and an amazing number of old carriages and a few other things from the early 20th century. Very interesting. If you have any I treat in the history of the area you have to go.

Michael Hite

Good people and good show. Free tour.

Norman Devilbiss

All of this year's original art work is on display and for sale. Half to go each year and look.

Brian Valdes

Awesome place to learn about the history of riding and Wyoming's culture. Definitely recommend taking the trolly tour from the depot as it includes free admission into the museum!

Karen Bishop

I love Cheyenne Wyoming. It's like going back a hundred years in time. I would go every year if i could. It was better than the mountains in Colorado or the beaches of Florida. Truly awesome place for a vacation.

Thomas Parker

Not super hands on, but has good multimedia exhibits. Cool place to learn about Cheyenne and frontier days.

Jenn P

This museum is a fantastic and huge compilation of old buggies, wagons, and other turn of the century vehicles. It was so informative and seeing old milk wagons, ambulances, hearses, etc. was great educational fun for us, since we love Americana stuff. The $10 entry price is why it gets knocked down one star. They need to make this a bit more affordable for the location and smaller size of the museum. Bonus is the kids room with toys and fun stuff to occupy kids for hours. It was a lifesaver for our toddler.

Robert Joy

Best show in town. Great people

Anna Thompson

Great place to see CFD history. The carriage and wagon collection is unique and worth the time.

Ann Smith

Lovely place. Fun and a lot of history. Just beautiful

Julie Herning

Loved this place!!! Staff was very knowledgeable and nice to visit with. Enjoyed the time we spent there

Flea Johnson

Cute museum with amazing displays! Have to pay a small fee to actually walk around, but they had a little section on Paniolos (Hawaiian Cowboys) that I absolutely loved! Gift shop is a little pricey for my tastes, but has any Wyoming souvenir you could possibly want.

Joey Paulsen

The night shows are great especially PBR

Max E. James

The employees are wonderful and always smiling. The artwork is gorgeous and I loved learning about the old west. Interesting stuff, and I really enjoyed seeing the wagons, carriages, and "cars." Clean bathroom as well. Well vented and air conditioned. The people take pride in the place and ensure keeping it safe and clean for people.

James Euell

Well worth the time and the trip. Enjoyed it. Entertaining.

franne

A must see in Cheyenne.

Sandy Armstrong

Fun place to visit!

Selah Greene

Loved it so much!!! Very fun and informative. So family friendly

Gene Keranen

The museum is not a western history museum but a museum of the annual CFD celebration. That being said I found the carriage and wagon exhibit fascinating

Palma C

Local western history up-close; including many gorgeously restored horse-drawn vehicles and western art.

Chris Dale

Over rated

Sean Alfred

Really cool museum filled mostly with old horse drawn carriages. Really interesting to see all the different types and styles

Jay Young

Are you a big fan of Frontier Days? Then you will love it here! Never heard of Frontier Days, then this probably isn't the place for you.

Melissa Beran

The museum was amazing..I will definitely be coming back

Dani Hackford

Awesome museum a little small but still worth going to

Steve Burns

this is a great venue. Plenty of options to enjoy quality old west and Cheyenne experience. I highly recommend visiting this part multiple times throughout the year not just for Frontier Days. Plenty to do there. I look forward to my annual visit and enjoy people watching here and being reintroduced into the old west Nostalgia and history

Francis Kenny

Kool place

Mary Anne Welch

Great displays. Covers history of Frontier Days through the years

Cyrus Pace

This is a pretty good museum. They have lots of neat things here, like old safes, the old town hall sign from the 1800s and others. They also have tons and tons of carriages from a long time ago and lots of things on rodeos. The only reason I am giving it four stars and not five is that it wasn’t about the “old west” as much as it was about carriages and rodeos. There is nothing wrong with that but I was expecting something a little more about Old Western things. Overall it is a good museum and I would recommend it to people looking to learn or see things on rodeos.

Scott Glenn

Great place to visit staff was very helpful and friendly loved the piece on lane frost

Jolie Hollman

It was awesome to learn about transportation history

Miley Dye

Really fun just u cant do a bunch

Rosalinda Sandoval

Interesting review of the history of CFD

Terra V.

Great place for Wyoming souvenirs.

Glen Coleman

Great stop

William sqor

Good

Mike Paddack

One of the largest collections of carages I've ever seen. Would have been nice to have window light subdued for photos.

Jerrie Montoya

The cariages are wonderful the place is nice and clean and the kid's Room is very awsome my kids had lots of fun.

Colton Lawson

Great place to learn some history. Extremely nice staff I took my 2 daughters for a daddy daughter date

Monica Puerto

Great exhibition to go back in time to Cheyenne’s Old Frontier Days.. the big daddy of them all. I know there is a cowgirls museum but they should have had more information about them especially in the museum representing Frontier Days, since there were quite a few that even were better ropers/riders than men (eg : Mable Strickland, Lucille Mulhall, Lorena Trickery, Bertha Kalpernik. They definitely deserved a section of that museum instead of a small tv monitor of a short video about them.

Dean Dexter

The Cheyenne frontier days museum is really impressive. It has one of the best collection of wagons and carriages of any museum we have been too. It gives a great glimpse into Western history. I was impressed with what they have done. If you haven't visited recently it's worth going back and seeing all the new displays and exhibits.

Kash Loyd

One of the best rodeos I have been in I am so thankful that I was able to ride.

linda jackson

A great museum filled with lots of history. Employees were very helpful and very knowledgeable about the history of Cheyenne days.

Richard Amberson

Outragiously high prices. Carnival and midway is pathetic. Rodeo does a great job but again too expensive night shows are average expense.

Pat Smith

All things rodeo! An excellent collection displayed beautifully. We enjoyed our afternoon there. I would absolutely recommend this museum.

Joseph Krendel

Beautiful worth for visit
