What to do in Casper

Casper makes a great “college town.”

As Wyoming’s cultural center, there’s plenty to do here. Arts and entertainment options are plentiful on campus, in nearby downtown Casper, and in several commercial districts around town.

Meet your everyday shopping needs at national chain stores, two shopping malls, and numerous local specialty stores. Have your fill at national fast food chains or upscale local restaurants. Join friends at a trendy coffee house. Hear major national acts at the Casper Events Center, or attend a top notch theatrical production right on campus.

Head up Casper Mountain for great skiing minutes from campus, or hop on your boogie board at the nearby whitewater park.
