This is in downtown Cheyenne. It was an old theater and has been redone. You can still tell inside that it is old but in a good way! Takes you back to old times! Prices are very reasonable! More

This is not a very great place. The now that 2 theaters that takes away from the old style theater. Plus the consession stand SO makes up for the cheap ticket price. And it is dirty and stinks. More

It is great to have a theater like this still open. It is beautiful and such a historic part of Cheyenne. More

Very cool old building. We just stopped in and asked if we could look at the building, reluctantly they let us. The smell of the old building was pretty bad, I don't know if I could sit through a whole movie. It just smelled like an old moldy, musty building. More

This is Cheyenne's oldest theater and still going. They play the movies when they are no longer playing in the new expensive theaters. Can't go wrong with a couple of bucks for a newer movie here. More

I have always been charmed by the art deco. Yes dusty and somewhat threadbare, but a theater to survive of this size to be found in a town like Cheyenne is a wonder. The old theater has been chopped with the main larger floor & screen showing more succesful films, the balcony has been enclosed with a smaller screen, be... More

O.K. theatre. We live in Cheyenne. Been to the Lincoln 20 times -- worn out carpet, tiles missing in scary basement bathroom, overpriced, I mean way overpriced junk food. Cheap, yeah. Occasional decent movie. So I pay for the theatre, whereupon Megan informs me she needs to check my girlfriends purse for any "smuggled in food or drinks." I"m 60,... More

Our family really enjoyed seeing a movie at Lincoln Theater. The atmosphere was really quaint -- and the movie prices were very affordable. The quality of the experience definitely exceeded the price. More

OK - I did not see a movie at the Lincoln. Shrek VIII just was not on my list of must see movies. However, I spent 15 good minutes looking at this incredible movie palace from the outside. This theater will stop you in your tracks! The chaser lights were on and in full working order even though it was... More
