An awesome welcome center! I am a pamphet collector and love to read through all the activities and things to do in whichever state I am visiting. This place is like a mini free musuem. They even have a mammoth skeleton and a little prop archelogist dig site. So cool! They've got videos you can select and watch about the history of Wyoming. My kids loved the little jail that had a slide to get out of. Bathrooms were very clean. They have shaded picnic tables outside too. A great spot to come to stretch your legs and start your visit in Wyoming. I would even say just visit even if you are not needed to take the rest stop. read more

Great place to stop and stretch your legs. I love going to the visitor centers and looking for maps. This center is great for kids as it has an entire wing that is an interactive history lesson read more

While on my way from Denver to South Dakota, I stopped in here for a comfort break and to stretch my legs. This visitors center is well decorated, and provides a history of Wyoming through dioramas, exhibits, and even a huge dinosaur! I enjoyed this little place so much I found myself spending nearly an hour here enjoying the exhibits and learning about this area of Wyoming. If you have the time to spare on your drive, check this place out. Kids will love it and you will enjoy the clean, large restrooms. Drive safely! read more

This exceptional welcoming complex rocks. It combines a comfortable venue for travelers with spacious and clean bathrooms and an amazing interior loaded with Wyoming information. It's gorgeous and modern, just miles into Wyoming as you cross into the state and about a mile south of Cheyenne. Be careful of the wind when you leave your vehicle. There is plenty of parking and an area for dog walks and a restful gnosh outside your vehicle. A gazillion brochures are tastily available to the right of the entry. The floors are loaded with cool artwork. The restrooms are immaculate and modern. Great artwork and some incredible history are labeled throughout. There is free WiFi. read more

It's a lovely rest stop and welcome center. Even from the highway you know it's gonna be good. They have potable water and picnic area outside, water fountains inside along with family bathrooms, men's and women's bathrooms, educational and visual information about Wyoming, along with cultural and historical information, and wildlife tidbits. They have interactive displays and pamphlets galore about state parks, trails and hiking and much more. Didn't have much time to investigate but looks like a full service one stop shop for info. Definitely a place to stop along the route to take care of your needs!! read more

Similar to the Colorado Welcome Center a few miles south, this one is located off the highway and there's a roundabout involved. Other than that, easy enough to access and get back onto the highway. It's a few miles from everything and that makes it quiet and ideal for a quick rest. The facility is very nice and very clean. read more

Crossing from Colorado into Wyoming, you notice the "Welcome to Wyoming" sign on I-25 northbound. A few miles away, the state visitor center / rest stop sign appears. It was a good time to take a break from driving, especially when you're coming from Denver / Longmont. The decision to stop here was a good one, since I didn't know that this visitor center was a mini museum as well. It did seem like we were in the middle of nowhere though, but at least there was civilization and shelter from the elements, among other factors. Restrooms are good here, as I'm sure many travelers know well, but sadly, I don't think there's any viable wifi for public use. I arrived here on my way towards Cheyenne and needed to take a break from the drive from Denver/Longmont on a brisk Tuesday morning. There was a few people parked at this rest stop and the mini museum was as quiet as a library on any given day. There were plenty of artifacts and exhibits to comb through. I probably have spent about an hour here, marveling and reading about the area's fascinating roots and the how Wyoming came to be over the decades before and since statehood. It was quite informative to see how this territory had organized from the Louisiana purchase of 1804 to a vibrant state it is today. They also have a tourism outpost here, but I didn't get a chance to visit. They have brochures of what's good to see on southeast Wyoming. This Wyoming welcome center / rest stop is located right off I-25 northbound from Denver, Colorado. Can't miss it really. It's a few miles from the state line. I'm glad that they do not charge admission for the mini museum, so that's always a good thing. There is plenty parking slots here, so there's usually a chance you can get a spot. :) The overall experience here at the southeast Wyoming state visitors center / rest stop is as good as the rest of them. There was a couple of staff here that will answer any questions and concerns you may have. I happen to love the mini museum here and browsed quietly before leaving to Cheyenne and taking a selfie with the sign that's at the entrance. It was surely educational and made me smile to where I can connect what I learned in school many years ago to the exhibits adorned here. That light bulb moment is all I needed to make history come alive. If you are road tripping through Colorado and into Wyoming, consider stopping here for an enlightened visit. Recommended after resting up a bit after a drive and using the facilities. The visitor center and rest stop is as immaculate as they come. Beautiful building and it's not just another outpost. 5.0 stars for the entire experience. Worth it and it's free. Support local! A+ read more

Southeast Wyoming Welcome Center - Visitor Centers Near Me - Cheyenne, Wyoming

Hello Wyoming! We happened upon this building after making the last minute decision to venture north from Denver. The weather was not the best, raining and overcast, but we made the best of it. The lady inside the Welcome Center was friendly and provided us with a few brochures and recommendations. I snapped a photo of the Woolly Mammoth (as probably a zillion people do) and we were on our way. Not much else to say about this place that has not been said. This place is great for taking a break and stretching the legs, walking a dog, etc. read more

Great place to stop on the way to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Get a quick lesson in Wyoming history before you enter the state. Both kids and adults can learn something in the exhibits on different tribes, lawman, resources, and everything else that makes the state of Wyoming unique. The desk clerk was friendly and willing to suggest places to visit. They also have RV parking, a pet area where your companion can relieve itself, and of course a place inside where you can find some relief as well. Definitely stop in! read more

Stopped here simply to use the restroom and was blown away by this awesome place! If you have kids and are driving through here, do yourselves a favor and stop to get a little Wyoming history lesson and lots of fun things for the kids to see and do! read more

This spot is open. I used the bathroom. We got some water today. It was clean. There are things to look at inside it.

When traveling to WY I like to stop in to this visitor center since its part museum as well. Plenty of thoughtfully crafted exhibits guide and entertain you through a brief glimpse of WY history and most exhibits are interactive, you can touch and fully immerse yourself into their creativity. Free coffee, maps, and friendly staff will gladly guide you through places to go and things to see while on your visit. Just be careful of the high winds when you stop in the parking lot! read more

Southeast Wyoming Welcome Center - Full of various exhibits! - Visitor Centers Near Me - Cheyenne, Wyoming

Great environmentally-sound architecture, helpful staff, historic information, clean. It was worth a look if you are driving that way.

I always stop and enjoy visitor centers whenever I can. Look for off ramp one in most states, when going west to east of course, lest it will be different. The Cheyenne Welcome center is epic. It is definitely one of the best in the country. (a little speculation there of course) The closing time was already passed by a few minutes, and the lady was gracious and invited me in to the exhibits for a few minutes (the restrooms never close) The exhibits are quality museum layouts, from a full size woolly mammoth skeleton to billy the kid, they want you to know about Wyoming. There are several displays, featuring current and past Wyoming. Now as I crossed the border from Colorado into Wyoming, there were several hundred buffalo roaming in the fields just off the interstate. Then when sitting outside the welcome center I noticed in the fields to the east Antelope roaming. Wow! I guess the song is true. Off to Cheyenne, a wonderful town read more

We stopped in to take a break from all the traffic during the 2017 Solar Eclipse. This place is AMAZING! Is truly one of the best Welcome Centers I have ever encountered. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the museum! So much so, that some months later, we drove back up from Loveland, CO just to show our visiting relatives the museum. The only negative I have is that the museum is closed on Saturday's, boohoo, shame on you. read more

If you are traveling through Wyoming on your way to a national park (like us!) take a few minutes to stop here. We stopped because we thought it would be a good idea to have a map just in case we lost internet connection on our to Mt Rushmore. Very clean and new. The visitor center has a sweet exhibit highlighting the history of Wyoming. We got lots of maps and visitor guides for every where we plan to go. Our kids loved it too. read more

I simply must applaud the Wyoming Department of Tourism for the resources they allocate their state tourism industry. It's obviously one of their biggest sources of revenue and they seem to put a lot of tax dollars into promoting it. Their visitor information centers have very modern style architecture and are very clean and welcoming. You can get everything here from brochures and pamphlets to postcards and souvenirs. It's more than just a rest stop, inside you will find a mini museum including a full-sized Wooly Mammoth fossil on display and a jail cell you can sit and get your picture taken with the Sundance Kid. It's a great place to stop when you are on the road and need to take a bathroom break and get information about all of the wonderful places to visit in Wyoming and it's also fun for kids. This year they are doing a promotional campaign where you can collect really cool collectible retro-style travel stickers just by visiting information centers throughout the state. Best part is they are free, but you'll have to visit each and every visitor center throughout the state if you want to collect them all, and that's exactly what they are hoping you'll do. Brilliant! read more
