Crush-worthy Valentine's Day Date Ideas in Casper, Wyoming
When a mid-season snowfall gently covers the town and a new year settles in to stay, we as locals are brought back to what has always made up the matter of the 5150' - LOVE.
Messy yet unconditional, if you jump I'll jump, L O V E love. And you know what that means, locals!? Valentine's Day is back in Wyoming!
Valentine's Day is traditionally recognized for endless heart-shaped chocolates, the color combination of pink and red, and cheesy, commercialized romance that never seems to quite walk hand-in-hand with our reality. But we're here to change that.
To celebrate, we wanted to forgo the gush and put you onto crushworthy Valentine's Day date ideas in Casper, Wyoming, a place not only for lovers, but families and singles, too. We’re here to help you fill this season of love with moments that feel true to you, no matter what you're closing your eyes to in 2026.
Go Wild Together
Call us biased, but here in Central Wyoming we believe that there is no better way to rally around the season of love than to get outside and soak up a place we all mutually love. As locals, we know there is something magical about surrendering to the call of the wild and spending uninterrupted time together in nature. Our backyard always has a way of sparking beauty within even our most mundane moments and bringing us back to what matters most - each other.
We encourage you to get lost in the great wide-open spaces and possibilities of Casper and Natrona County this Valentine's Day. Forgo your chores and errands and opt for an adventure worth slowing down for. Hit a new backroad, take the family out for a day of fishing or go make turns at Hogadon Basin Ski Area.
Craft Your Heart Out
This year for Valentine's Day, we’re embracing the idea of pouring a little love back into our artsy, winter afternoons. If you're feeling the urge to create, here are a few ideas: handmake your own Valentine's Day cards, design your own polaroid photo booth, write a custom poem for your other half or make cupcakes together.
If you're looking for a little hand holding in the crafting department, check out the following: paint at Pottery By You or take a call as Artisan Alley.
Try Something New
What is it about trying something new that brings us home to ourselves again? If you've always felt a little well, BLAH about Valentine's Day (or this season looks different for you), be bold and sign yourself up for something you've never done before. Whether you're a couple looking to tap into new chemistry or you're single looking to revel in all the self-love this year, getting out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself can oftentimes be just what you need.
Head to the Valentine’s Day Sip and Shop event at Black Tooth Brewing, take a restorative yoga class at WyOMing Yoga & Wellness, go axe throwing with Oil City Axe Co. or sign up for a class at the Natrona County Library.
No matter your weekend itinerary, remember that this is your holiday and you are free to enjoy it exactly how you please. You don't have to get caught up in the tradition of love unless it feels right. However, we do hope you take the time to do something that makes you feel alive in the 5150' - partner or no partner! You deserve it, locals!
Dress Up, Share Plates & Clink Glasses
Look, locals, let's spit the facts here...if there is one thing we're known for in this town, it's going out, kicking up our boots and celebrating in style. And Valentine's Day should be no exception.
Consider this your sign to dress up, hit the town and splurge on good food (and a little bubbly, of course!). Whether you and your partner want to lock eyes across a table for two or a good ol' fashioned Galentine's Day get up is awaiting, we fully support leaning in and celebrating BIG.
We recommend starting off with a glass of champagne or a mocktail at The Drinkery, making a reservation at FireRock or Silver Fox Steakhouse and night capping at Gaslight Social (or the beloved Backwards Distilling Company for something more intimate).
Check out a Local Event
Let's set the mood, shall we? If you're dreaming up the perfect night out for Valentine's Day, consider chasing down the 5150's live music scene or attend an event with your V-day crew. From acoustic guitarists in cozy bars and Casper's micro-breweries, there's lots to do in and around Casper during the month of love. A few upcoming activities to put on your radar: Cupid’s Corner at The Drinkery, The Cherub Club at Backwards Distilling Company, Date Night at the Museums or Artisan Alley at Gruner Brothers Brewing. Check out our events calendar and explore all of Casper's upcoming events!
Relax. Rejuvenate. Romance. Repeat.
You know what's really crushworthy? Treating your valentine to a little R&R, 5150' style! Forgo the fuss and fixin' and rejuvenate this year.
