I think this is a cool place and I feel bad saying this but..... It's over priced for what it is. It's dated and badly needs to be renovated to justify the $12 a person. It's really only worth $6ish a person. Seeing the old wagons was neat. If friends come in town would not say this is a must see unless they *love frontier days. The free botanical gardens across the street are a huge plus for the location and made us feel like it wasn't a wasted trip just for this museum.
Fantastic museum. Their collection of carriages is second to none. Fascinating history of Cheyenne Frontier Days
Absolutely fantastic museum. A real must see. Worlds largest for carriages.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
If your ever in Cheyenne, WY check out the Frontier Museum. It has the largest collection of carriages and buggies in the world. Wow so much to see there. Incredible collection of frontier artifacts. It takes at least two hours to see..but could easily spend more time there.
Took a weekend trip to Cheyenne, this place was definitely worth the trip. Especially if you're an old west or rodeo fan. Not real big, but lots to see.
This place has to be one of our favorite stops. Always hearing about “The Daddy of them all” and getting to stop and see it has only inspired us to come back to CFDs. The museum is great with numerous wagons preserved, memorabilia from past cowboys including Lane Frost. This was a special trip to see the museum. Wish we could have gotten to see inside the arena area, but it was great just the same.
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.
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.
Very friendly staff. I felt like I was stepping back in time with the old carriages and artifacts. Great gift shop. We learned a lot about the rodeo culture here and how important Frontier Days is to this town. Great stop while we were visiting Wyoming.
Had a wonderful time looking at the wagons and displays. The employees were helpful and friendly. We also liked the short film in the back. The only thing left to do is come back during the rodeo.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
