The park has trails with ample signage and an excellent visitor center with info on the local flora and fauna. The hike to hidden falls is well worth it, the falls were beautiful in the summer and the cold water was a refreshing break from the heat at the time. There are also lots of nice mountain biking trails of you prefer that to hiking. Stop in and check it out if you're passing through!

You don't want to miss the new three story conservatory! It opened in August 2017. The Grand Conservatory features a tropical conservatory, a Navy submarine periscope (only open on Friday & Saturday), and several areas of respite. The Cheyenne Botanic Gardens is Wyoming’s only botanic garden. It exists in one of the most challenging gardening climates in the lower 48 states (high winds, regular hail, high altitude, little winter snow cover and unpredictable first and last frosts). Come explore our brand new Grand Conservatory as well as 27 specialty landscapes, where senior, youth and handicapped volunteers provide a majority of the physical labor. This is also home to Engine 1242, the oldest locomotive engine in Wyoming.

We had a wonderful morning at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens! We arrived a bit before story time and my kids enjoyed playing in the water and teepees! I appreciate how the staff worked to maintain "social distancing" during story time and "planted" pages of the book in flower pots around the garden. We had fun following the arrows to read each page. Each staff member we encountered were friendly and obviously enjoyed their jobs. As a mom of a toddler, I also appreciate the step stool in the bathroom to help my son wash his hands! The gardens are free and a wonderful asset to the Cheyenne community! One of my new favorite things to do in Cheyenne!
