Make it a Romantic Evening in Casper with These Date Night Ideas
So you’re in love. You’re in Casper. And you want to plan a date night that is anything but cliché.
Whether you’re taking out your new crush or your spouse of seventeen years, the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra. While there’s nothing wrong with dinner and a movie, we’ve got a few date night ideas that you can’t do just anywhere.
Catch A Sunset
Pack a flashlight and hit the trail at dusk! The ever-popular Bridle Trail offers a waterfall and stunning sunset views of the city. The aptly named Lookout Point pull-off on Casper Mountain offers a panoramic view of downtown Casper that just hits differently at sunset. Explore downtown Casper in a new way and climb the spiral Stairway to Heaven, or enjoy a pint and a view on the epic patio of Gruner Brothers Brewing!
Stargaze
Wyoming, the least populous US state, is known for its star-filled skies. Bring a blanket, drive Casper Mountain’s winding roads (we recommend SR 251), find a secluded spot, and drink in the celestial beauty. A little chilly outside? Head to the Casper Planetarium instead. Wyoming’s oldest planetarium offers Saturday evening shows for only $3! Stars in the skies will put stars in your eyes, guaranteed.
Night Ski
On winter weekends, grab your skis or snowboard (and your date, of course) and head to Hogadon Basin Ski Area for a memorable date night on the slopes! Hogadon offers two illuminated downhill runs, and nearby Casper Mountain Trails Center boasts several miles of cross-country trails that are also lighted!
Rock Out
Your relationship rocks, you say? So should your next date. Grab your significant other and catch a show at the Rialto Theater! This historic venue hosts everything from live music to comedy. Or, reminisce about bygone days at a tribute show at the crowd-favorite Gaslight Social!
Escape
Escape boring date nights at Casper’s locally owned Escape307, an innovative escape room complex! With themed, private rooms, including the Old West “Bills and Bars,” no two experiences here are alike.
Hit The "Greens"
The love you have is real, but your golf course doesn’t have to be. Play indoor simulations of some of the world’s best courses until 10 p.m. at The SandTrap. Showing off your skills is a great way to impress (or depress) your date.
Throw Sharp Objects
Offering coaches, classes, and arcade-style axe throwing games, Oil City Axe Company is the perfect date night stop if you like throwing axes, tomahawks, and even ninja stars. Oil City Axe is open until 10 p.m. on weekends!
Hunt Ghosts
Bring your boo for all the boos. On summer nights, join the Casper Theater Company for a walking tour of Casper’s haunted downtown. Or, wait till October and head to Fort Caspar Museum and Historic Site for an evening of ghost hunting on a historic battlefield. At least Casper’s ghosts are friendly!
Eat and Drink
Of course, the Oil City also boasts a slew of fantastic restaurants and bars if you’re looking for a more traditional date night itinerary. Some of our favorites include Silver Fox Steakhouse, Frontier Brewing Company, and The Drinkery!
As you can see, Casper offers a variety of unique and exciting date night ideas. Whether you’re seeking adventure, competition, romantic date activities, or simply a fun night out, you’re sure to find the perfect way to connect with your partner in our charming city.
