Things To Do in Cheyenne, WY
Our Lady of Peace Shrine
One of the largest Marian statues in the United States, Our Lady of Peace Shrine stands over 30 feet tall and weighs 180 tons. An unexpected sight in the small town of Pine Bluffs, along Cheyenne’s Interstate 80, this amazing concrete sculpture breaks up the monotony of fields and grain elevators.
Big Boy Steam Engine
Like trains? Then you’ll love the Big Boy Steam Engine in Holliday Park! This retired Old Number 4004, the world’s largest steam locomotive, used to harness the power of coal to pull a 3,600-ton train along the steep hills of Union Pacific railroad. Although you can no longer climb aboard, Big Boy remains an imposing sight and one of the city's best attractions.
Cheyenne Stampede
Come watch the newly formed Cheyenne Stampede showcase their sports skills on the ice at the Ice and Events Center.
