Cool little museum with a lot of railroad and Cheyenne history! The model trains dioramas were cool but it’s a shame they weren’t operating. We didn’t have kids with us but it seems like they might get a little bored since there’s limited things for them to interact with. Lots of awesome detailed reading and history for adults though. The audio tour was cool too since it uses your phone and you just dial in for each area. Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting Cheyenne.

Cheyenne depot museum and plaza is one of the main attractions of Cheyenne downtown. The depot museum is great place preserving the history of this city. Outside plaza is decorated with some great bronze sculptures. I would recommend this place to everyone. pParking could be difficult so find your place before this place get crowded. The museum timings are different so call them before you go.

We decided to drive into Cheyenne and check out their train museum there. The place is priced well and full of great docents to answer questions. There is a nice model train area upstairs that is well worth the time to visit. The layout took more than 30‘years to create/assemble and a marvelous jo!

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.

What a fun and informative museum. The model railroad museum upstairs is really fun. The detail in the buildings and surrounding forests, rivers and rock formations is phenomenal. The conductors are great and provide you with information. There are also 4 tiny dinosaurs hidden throughout the display, which adds to the adventure! Definitely a must see!

Very nice museum. They had a really impressive model train hand carved which was beautiful. Model train set up on the second floor was pretty impressive too. Worth the $8 to go through.

Wonderful for train enthusiasts! Learned a lot about the region and trains. Great activities for kids and adults with displays set up for a wonderful experience. Upstairs is the model trains exhibit where there are very knowledgeable staff waiting to answer any and all questions. It's a fantastic spot as it's location is right next to the railroad tracks and we got to see Union Pacific's Big Boy 4014 coming back from Denver Colorado.

I love the history, but not sure it was worth the $8 admission. May be for others. It evened out as kids were free. The model trains weren’t working today. If you love the history and want to take time to read pictures it will be worth your time. With kids, it’s a bit hard. Lots of items, but could be formatted better.

I LOVE trains! I loved the diversity of displays to view in this train museum! I liked getting to view vintage uniforms, tools, books, and accessories. Another thing I enjoyed viewing was the second floor of miniature trains. The dinosaur scavenger hunt was a cute touch to the experience. And how fun is it to watch trains go by as you tour? Excellent experience.

Beautiful museum. Details the history of the railroad system in the United States. The second floor displays a very detail miniature landscape of Colorado with train and mini towns. The person who put it together, Mr. Harry Brunk, took 30 years in the making, past away this May (2023) at the age of 82. He made this huge project possible by dismantling a manufactured home.

Went here for part of our honeymoon. We absolutely loved it. There is so much history. The gift shop was awesome. I only wish that they had the train t-shirts in women sizes/styles.

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.

Who knew there would be so much more to learn about the history of trains coming to and from Cheyenne! Here's a fun fact, when I was there, there was a video of a train going from Golden, Colorado to Black Hawk, Colorado. I'm from that area and had zero idea! Who knew I would learn about my own backyard in a city 120 miles away!

The Union Pacific oriented museum is loaded with historical information and pictures, which is a blessing for rail fans who want to read it all but a headache creator for those want just the key bullet points. There is a fantastic miniature model railroad exhibit. One of the last Big Boy Steam engines, the largest ever built is in a park 3 minutes by car from the museum.

Great museum for kids and adults - many exhibits and photos with interesting info (there was an article from the 19th century about a new miracle invention - telephone:) ) There is an area for kids to play with wooden train tracks and a place on the second floor where kids can control a model train. The museum run model train is impressive although it wasn't on when we visited. The gift shop has many options for train lovers and Wyoming visitors.

This was truly one of the greatest tours my father and I have ever done. You walk into the Stream Shop and Round House and you're in the presence of true giants of history. The staff were all so amazing and knowledgeable and you can tell they really love what they do. I hope to do this again one day!

Great piece of railroad history. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the wood train area and the HO layout on the top floor. One of the static display Big Boy locomotives is actually up the road a little way. On the top floor there is a great area to watch actual Union Pacific operations in the nearby yard.

We were here on weekend and there was a craft fair/farmers market taking place; lots of interesting items on sale. The museum cost 10.00 a person to go in, we did not visit the museum, but walked around the train depot. The painted boots around the depot are extremely nice to view.

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.

We took the Wild West Trolley tour (about 1-1/2 hrs. The driver-Host was knowledgeable about history of the city. Many fun facts about history of why and how the city was a site for the Union Pacific Railroad. Also history of FP Warren Airforce base. A weird spent time.

Loved it, the history of the Union Pacific Transcontinental is awesome. Great place to take any one who loves trains.

Cool place to stop along the way, a little short and was hoping for some full size trains to explore a little with the kids. If you want to fill 30 min to an hour to break up a road trip it's a solid stop, pretty cheap, $8 adults, 12 under free. Seniors were $7.

There is a wonderful HOn3 narrow gauge model train layout on the second floor of the museum,I love it!

Incredible display of the Union Pacific railroad through the area. Amazing model railway and a collection of memorabilia that any rail or history buff will enjoy.

Wonderful little museum. I especially loved the huge toy train setup upstairs. Cute little gift shop with lots of unique items.

Train nut from Colorado here. There's a lot of history in this building, history of something that built a lot of this country. I think the place is nice, in that there's a lot of stuff to see, but you're not really in a hurry, and the place doesn't feel crowded. Its right on the tracks, so you can watch the live action, as well. I got skunked when I was there, but that was just bad timing, more than likely. The scale, I believe is original to the depot, and still works. This was a fun experience. We'll be back.

It was entertaining, but not what I expected. I wanted to see real trains and hoped to see the railroad roundhouse out back, but we couldn't because of buildings and fencing in the way. The elevator to the top floor of the main lobby also didn't work which I was hoping would give me a chance at a view of it with no luck. The main floor had a lot of history of the town and train station and how they used to make and fix things. There was also a kid play area and a little shop with shirts, toys, postcards, etc. If you like train dioramas though then the second floor is definitely for you. There was also a penny squish machine which made me happy.

Really great museum. My one and only wish is that they had one or two full sized trains and a view of the UP steam shop (hint hint live feed?)
