wyoming state museum印象

This modest-sized museum has a bit of everything - natural history, cultural history, wildlife, minerals, the "old West", and when we visited it even had a pretty nice "Governor's" fine art show going on in the lobby. There also was a larger "temporary" exibit linking art and nature upstairs. It is located in the downtown complex of state government buildings and is free to visit. Don't know if I would make a special trip from very far away but if you are in the area it is certainly worth an hour or two of your time.

We took our grandchildren to the museum, they really enjoyed it as well as us. The layout was great, the staff was super. Would recommend, there is no cost that is super with large families, there is a donation box. It is certainly worth dropping a donation as it is a very nice museum and has some really neat history as well.

Visited and found a penny elongater. Needed change and the lady gave it to me and gave a penny to me. I did my coin and then went out to the car and brought back my state quarter (North Dakota) and presented it to her for her being so nice. (Gave her cent back also) Liked the sheep herder wagon presentation.

nice museum , over two floors with a gift shop, free parking available.Covers a lot of information about the state and its people and history. Some interesting dinosaur and fossil stuff, as well as the cowboys and Indians.Nice and friendly staff, well worth combining with the Capitol Building across the road.Free museum but donations expected.

Excellent displays of Wyoming history and people that settled the state. Art work and graphics of very high quality. Easy to view all areas in comfort.

Plan at least 2-3 hours to see everything. Tremendous information on settling Wyoming, even dinosaur bones. A lot of Native American and old west pieces. The beadwork on moccasins and a horse head covering were amazing! Right across the street from the capitol building which is open for tours (but we didn't make it over there.)

My nephew and I took his kids (girl 10, boy 8) here on a Spring Break trip through the western states. The museum was laid out in a very accessible way and the staff was very welcoming. There were a lot of things to engage the kids. When we entered, the attendant gave each of them a map showing items they could find and mark on their sheet. On our way out she gave each of them a wooden nickel for finding 100% of the items, and of course the kids asked us what a wooden nickel was. There is something for everyone here -- the natural history of the land area of the state, prehistoric fossil discoveries, Native Americans, settlement, the coming of the railroads -- all told by exhibits showing what life was like in these various times. All of us enjoyed the hour-and-a half spent here. The kids were studying Lewis and Clark in school so these exhibits illustrated some of their learning. We highly recommend this museum to other families and anyone interested in the history of Wyoming.

We are from Texas and have been teaching our kids American history this year as we homeschool. On our vacation to Colorado, I happened to see this museum on Trip Advisor and thought it might be a good "educational" stop. When we arrived, they were very friendly and asked our kids if they wanted to participate in a museum scavenger hunt (of course, they did). The "hunt" guided them through each of the exhibits in search of key information, and it was a good way to keep them engaged. The museum covered from prehistoric to modern times in an interesting way. There was science, history, and art. The kids earned a special souvenir token/coin for completing their scavenger hunt and it was a great (free!) way to spend about an hour and a half of our time. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Touring our state museum is very aggravating. There is so,so,soooooo much rich history in this building. It. Is as thou the museum is for the purpose of appeasing staff and tolerating the public.It is not organized in a manner to enrich the public with its wealth of amazing history. The gal that runs the museum is so outgoing and loves telling of Wyoming's history. She should be a museum docents and train others. Then it would be of the quality to attract visitors.

Not only were the kids entertained for over 2 hours but we were able to learn so much about Wyoming and it's history. Clean and well put together displays were great. Some Indian bead work, geology and information about cowboys were nice displays. Gift shop is amazing, a little of the local art, some food and bath items and some fun stuff for the kids. All in all glad we put it on our list of places to stop. Was worth the effort.
