Visit Capital City’s state capitol. The Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne is a notable US National Historic Landmark, and has been a part of the community since even before Wyoming officially gained statehood. Architects designed this Corinthian building with the United States Capitol in mind; admire the stunning construction as you walk through this seat of government on a weekday tour.
Cheyenne is filled with small community and neighborhood parks. Lions Park, however, offers more to visitors than simply a grassy area. You can find just about anything a fan of the great outdoors could desire in this city park, including a lake, a beach, boating and fishing opportunities, playgrounds, mini golf, an indoor swimming pool and even the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens.
See real dinosaur skeletons from the University’s archeological dig site at the Geological Museum at University of Wyoming. An amazing 75-foot Apatosaurus (Brontosaurus) skeleton dominates the museum hall, and the remaining space is filled with natural history discoveries like an Allosaurus fossil, a copper-plated T-Rex, hundreds of rock and mineral samples and intricate murals.
