this is a very clean and well kept area . The actual building contains many species and was entertaining. The lake adjacent to the property was absolutely beautiful. I guess I was just expecting a little more because the reviews were so good. But this venue is good to kill an hour or so when traveling. read more

A free and absolutely beautiful place to spend an afternoon. My family and I visited during a Friday afternoon and really enjoyed it. The outdoor gardens are beautiful with bees and butterflies flying about. The pond had large koi swimming around. The grounds are well maintained with many awesome flowers and plants to see. Indoors there is a green house with a special separate area for succulents and dry plants. Staff were friendly. They have programming available to visitors that would make sense for us to learn about if we were locals. I highly suggest a visit. read more

Free parking and free entrance. The gardens are well-kept, with plenty of little pathways to walk through and explore. They have a little wading area where kids can get their feet wet. Inside, there are plenty of plants and flowers to see, as well as koi fish and two turtles. If in Cheyenne, and especially with kids, this is a good place to visit. read more

What a beautiful place! My mother, daughter, and I stumbled upon the Botanic Gardens on a spontaneous trip to Cheyenne. We spent the first bit of our visit outdoors and my daughter had a blast exploring. They have a little wading area for the kiddos to get their feet wet, a little sand pit, and a place with legos/wood logs/etc to play with. Inside was a beautiful scene. So many fun plants to enjoy and two of the most adorable turtles that we thought were statues at first! The lady at the front desk was very welcoming and gave us a ton of information about the grounds/gardens. read more

A nice free attraction to spend a few hours. There are flowers, lakes, statues, indoor attractions, gift shop and more plants and park benches to relax. Enjoy the beautiful day. read more

The Cheyenne Botanic Gardens isn't all that big; it took us just under 40 minutes to cover everything it had to offer on our last visit. Tip: You can't argue with the value proposition of this place - it's free ;-) Despite the small size, we enjoyed our visit, and I'd even consider coming back another time after a sufficient interval has elapsed. read more

This time of year there is not a lot of plants outside of the conservatory that you can see, it's just a seasons thing. Inside the conservatory is beautiful and there were a lot of plants and plaques with information about the gardens. The children's play area seems like it would be really fun in the summer, but right now it was empty. It's hard to say what it would be like at peak season, but right now (early May) it's a little sad. You also have to buy a photography pass if you want to take a lot of pictures to post. I didn't buy it because there's not a lot to see at the moment. For the cheap price of free it was a wonderful experience and the staff was kind and informative. There was an older lady who was SO excited to tell us about the gardens, and it was fun to interact with her. read more

Came here over the weekend on a day trip to Cheyenne from Denver. The Botanical Gardens were highly recommended to see, and was well worth the visit given that it was 100% free. The people working here were super friendly and welcoming, which made the overall experience a great one. At first glance, the Botanical Gardens seem very large especially when just viewing the map. However, as you'll discover, the gardens aren't that enormous, but instead are well-sized and doable for a short hour (or two hour) visit.. giving you ample time to admire the plants and trees located both indoors and outdoors. During summer, the opening hours are longer - closing at 5pm. Plenty of parking (free!). The Botanical Gardens include the conservatory, and outside gardens - which includes areas for children, a nice little lake area, lots of plants, and a locomotive on display. For those of you wanting to find the Cheyenne Boots, there is also one located on site here. If I'm ever back in Cheyenne, I will definitely want to come back here to get a dose of greenery. read more

If you're a plant geek the conservatory is blast with loads of gorgeous varieties. The misters are incredible to walk through and they have incredible color changing lights that light up the conservatory at night and dark days. We walked through in a quick 45 minutes. Its small but its free and located between a beautiful park called Lions Park and the frontier park where Cheyenne frontier days is held. A good one stop area for some of Cheyennes finest ''arractions'. Our dog was also able to walk through the gardens which was great! read more

I could go here everyday if I had that much free time. So beautiful, so quiet, relaxing, overall lovely. Definitely cheyennes hidden gem. Can't wait to see it in the spring and summer read more

This place was wonderful. After having gone to the botanic garden in Denver and in Cheyenne, I can honestly say I liked the one in Cheyenne the best. I loved how well the plants were labeled, and both the indoor and outdoor parts were beautiful, well maintained and organized. We loved the children's area, even though my kids were on the old side for it. But your little kids are going to like that area as well. We were there during the rodeo, which made things pretty wild and wacky. But it was fun, and we ran across the most tame (rabid?) squirrel who was very interested in our lunch as we ate a picnic lunch before going in. This is a 5 star place in every way, I loved it more than I thought I would. Go here. read more

We really enjoyed this location! The flowers, koi, and other little animals were so interesting to wander around and look at. ALSO, my daughter LOVED the children's area and all the activities. She dragged a wheel barrow around for a while and loved digging in the sand. So much to see and do in such a precious little package! I've been recommending this place to anyone that will be in the area! read more

While traveling for work to Cheyenne, WY I was happily surprised to find such a lovely botanical garden in this small community! Not only do they have a lovely conservatory, building for programming and gardens, but they have an amazing children's garden complete with a learning lab. I was also very impressed to learn how they reused so many of the existing materials in their designs and turned a once-paved maintenance depot into a lush garden environment. I can see this garden providing a pivotal resource and respite for the Cheyenne community for generations to come. read more

I just returned from the first of what will definitely be many trips to the Cheyenne Botanical Gardens. I brought my dog with me, fully aware that I wouldn't be able to enter the main conservatory and not really expecting to see much otherwise. I couldn't have been more wrong! The kids play area, which included wading pools, statuary, an activities center, was pretty awesome in itself, but when I ventured around to the north side of the gardens, my imagination was truly captured. I could go on and on about the Labyrinthe, the color, the myriad quotes on each stone in the ground, but I'm sure my photos will do a better job than my words ever could. On a final note; the employees I met on at the gardens were all very friendly and helpful as well. They wore only smiles on their faces, but then when you work at a place as full of beauty as this is, I'm not sure how it could possibly be otherwise. read more

What a lovely discovery. Even though we just visited yesterday, early November, and not much is growing, the potential of this charming garden in spring and summer is clearly visible. Due to COVID-19 not all areas of the main building are accessible, but we got to see some nice plants and a Dias de los Muertos exhibit, which was well done. There are some interesting outdoor areas, and the children's section must be magical in spring. So we'll designed. The old locomotive and other items sprinkled through the gardens make for a fun and unique visit (the old steam locomotive needs a restoration job badly). Check out the fence around the locomotive, it's quite unique. Coming from Denver where everything is $$$, learning this place was free was a surprise ( you can make a donation though, which we did). The staff was quite friendly and super willing to answer questions. Will have to drive up to Cheyenne next spring to check out these gardens in full bloom. read more

Pretty fun for an hour or two. I liked the various levels of the indoor section but it was a little cramped. I think my kids would enjoy it too, but I just haven't gotten them there yet. Well have to go this summer! read more

This is by and large the coolest thing they have built in Lions park over the years (and there have been a lot of great improvements there). The variety of plants inside the Botanic Gardens is awesome. It's great for families, and has lots of activities to partake in. There is nothing like walking into the garden during the winter, and being greeted by warm humidity and lush vegetation to get a break from the harsh winds, and cold temperatures outside. It's truly one of the gems in Cheyenne that I always recommend visitors to town. read more

While on an afternoon trip to Wyoming we happened along this little slice of paradise. It was not what I expected, it was much more. By winter it's a greenhouse that helps to feed those in need. The handicapable and others who perform community service tend the plants inside. The greenhouse is 100% solar powered and it's about 80 degrees in the winter inside. You will notice your glasses fog up immediately as you walk in on a cold day. All sorts of interesting plants live inside the greenhouse as well as a neat little cactus garden and coy pond. 3 It's located on the properly just behind the frontier days property and next year they will begin a very large expansion and development of the gardens. I will make it a point to visit during the summer months to see the rest of the grounds. Most things were closed for the winter but the greenhouse is open and free to the public. Even though it's free, make sure to leave a donation to help keep this wonderful operation going. read more

Unexpected fun for the family. I really didn't know what to expect from Cheyenne in general and really liked the charm of the whole town. The whole family liked the botanic gardens. I really didn't expect this in a place the size of Cheyenne. Beautiful and fun for the family. We really like the children's garden. And enjoying our kids putting on. Show for us in the small puppet show hidden garden. read more

Cheyenne's remodeled botanic gardens was my favorite hangout while I lived in the city. The tropical garden is beautiful and balmy and I enjoyed having lunch in the orangerie. The "draw bridge" by the children's garden is also fun to hop across. It's a lovely place to end up after a jog around Sloan Lake. read more

We only visited the children's village portion of the gardens. We dropped in as a stop to break up a long drive on the I-80 for our three-year old. Great points- it's FREE. It's surrounded by a beautiful park and there's a playground right across the parking lot. We happened to arrive just in time for Friday morning story time, which was led by a very dynamic staff member. Very cool that they allow kids to wade in the shallow creek. There is a sand box full of construction toys, which thrilled our little guy. Delightful, unique little place. read more

Something I even liked better was the Paul Smith Children's Village area of the botanical gardens. There are tons of things to look at like a raft like thing to pull yourself to another side of a pond, an old windmill, a 'secret garden',(and much more!) and inside the building for the Children's Village there houses a gorgeous little greenhouse with all kinds of plants! The children's area definitely earned the botanical gardens a five star rating after going through there! read more

This is by far the worst excuse of a Botanical Garden we have ever been to!! Nothing more than a bunch of rooms for rent, and hardly any plants to look at. This is why it received a one star rating, it deserves a no star rating but you can not give a no star rating!!!!! read more

We weren't able to tour the inside of the gardens because we went on a Monday - and they were closed. Check the hours before you visit. It was very nice to have access to outdoor spaces even though the gardens were closed. They have beautiful areas to walk through free of charge. Pick a sunny day and you will enjoy the visit and probably get some great photos too! read more

With all the improvements over the years, this place always has something new and innovative. Shane Smith has worked hard and his commitment to the Cheyenne community proves this. I'm an avid supporter of CBG, even though I live in Denver, and will continue to look a bit further north of Denver to get inspiration. Keep up the hard work...you make Cheyenne proud. If you haven't been to the gardens and you're from out of state, you must visit. read more

Such a nice place to go to escape. Enjoy the flowers, the views, children areas, and the waterfall.
