Let's face it. We could all benefit from a little retail therapy once in a while, and with the holidays just around the corner, you're sure to find something to satisfy everyone on your shopping list. Stop by the Eastridge Mall, home to more than 60 stores including Target, Macy's, JCPenney, Sears, and Best Buy, or head east to Kohl's where you'll find home goods and apparel for the whole family. Once you've worked up a hearty appetite, why not leave the cooking and cleaning to someone else? Dine out at one of Casper's favorite local restaurants like FireRock or Lai Thai. Or try any number of our delicious national chains including Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse or Red Lobster.
The brisk winter months don't have to slow you down! Dress for the elements and take advantage of all there is to do in the great outdoors. Hogadon Ski Area, just a five minute drive from town, offers the best alpine skiing and snowboarding in the area with a wide variety of slopes perfect for beginners and experienced alike. If it's flat land you're after, be sure to check out our world-class Nordic Center which offers more than 15 miles of winding trails through the Casper Mountain pines. For snowmobiling, head over to Beartrap Meadow where you'll find endless tracks just waiting to be uncovered!
Casper is home to some of Wyoming's finest arts and culture. If you're looking to brush up on some local history, The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center will provide a glimpse into what pioneer life was like traversing some of the most well-known trails in the country. Or, if a local art gallery is more to your liking, browse The Nicolaysen Art Museum and be inspired by their contemporary collections featuring art of the Rocky Mountain Region. And don't forget The Science Zone where kids can participate in interactive math and science exploration and hands-on exhibits!
