From the reviews

The Children's Village is a fantastic place to take your children all year round. However, the event this last week with Santa was so terrific! Were there Friday night. Campfire, marshmallows, carrots to throw on the roof for the reindeer and of course Santa. The guy that coordinates and makes this all happen is Aaron.

Getting married at Paul Smith Children's Village at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens

Paul Smith Children's Village at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
