Things to do while visiting
Laramie is a very welcoming community! It provides great restaurants, bars, and activities. A few great museums to attend are the Wyoming Territorial Prison and the University of Wyoming Geological Museum. For a friendly competition visitors should check out Laramie Lanes Bowling Alley or Bullseye 307 for axe throwing, darts, and minigolf. Visiting the variety of downtown shops is also a great way to pass the time. Laramie is surrounded by beautiful outdoor sites with the Snowy Range Mountains to the West and the Vedauwoo Recreation Area to the East.
