Located inside the historic Union Pacific Railroad depot, the Cheyenne Depot Museum, also known as the Wyoming Transportation Museum, tells the interwoven stories of the city’s origins and the Transcontinental Railroad. Explore the renovated sandstone train station and its hands-on exhibits and attractions in order to get a real feel for Cheyenne’s history.
Climb aboard an old-fashioned trolley and get a narrated tour of the city with the Cheyenne Trolley Tours. This fun, educational ride is wonderful for those visiting Frontier City for the first time or long-time residents who are curious about Cheyenne’s past. See all the major landmarks, attractions, and museums, and upgrade your tour to a Plus Pass for two-day access to all these sites.
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.
