Additionally, the City of Cheyenne has a really neat and extensive bike/ped trail in town. One can go pretty much anywhere in town on the trails.
There's a golf course over near Frontier Park.
Wyoming State Museum in the downtown area by the State Capitol, lots of history of the Cheyenne and Great Plains area, you can spend a lot of time there

There's also the Historic Governor's Mansion downtown.
If you're willing to drive a bit, you could head over to Laramie. There's the Wyoming Territorial Prison Museum, and several others in town, as well as on the University of Wyoming campus.
Food choices are wide open and very subjective. There's some good steak houses in town, some good burger joints as well. Guess it depends on your preferences.
