Where wander meets wonder - 11/3/2021

Wyoming is an interesting place. From vast mountains that pulls you towards them to flat plains as far as the eye can see. The people are same as every where else other than the people here tend to keep there heads down due to the windy days. The wind dancing with the cold can beautiful but also remind you how nice it is to be somewhere warm. I’ve been through many towns across Wyoming and I’ve been living in Casper all my life. If you were to ask me how much I like Wyoming as a kid I would have said many negative things. But as I grew older and started to appreciate the outdoors more and after traveling to other states I have learned that Wyoming may be my favorite place I have every been. From random historic markers scattered across the state to the luxurious resorts and restaurants this state has it all. Enjoy at your own risk!

Just don't - 9/19/2021

I've lived here 3 mo..... this place is run my retired Republicans that have nothing better to do then mess up other people's day. The town is very poorly taken care of.. the sidewalks and roads are not well managed, the whole town smells of sewage, there is NO ECONOMIC GROWTH. The only way to make it here is either to already have money or inherit it and believe me they ALL inherited and bred people just like them. This town has plunged into poverty, these people are in a delusion. There are very few creature comforts... literally only thing to do is drink or go up the mountain. I'm moving after winter, if you're thinking of moving here DONT! Move to Cheyenne or something, Casper has the number 1 suicide rate in the state for a reason. Don't waste your time or money

Ehhh - 12/26/2020

I lived here for one year (78-79). Saw a lot of cold weather and snow. Most cars had sprung doors from severe winds taking them out of their owners hands. Might have been luck of the draw but in that year we had some bad hail storms. Golf ball size that put dings vehicle roofs and hoods. Summertime was pleasant. Had the opportunity to come visit 40 years later. People are nice but town has a run down feel to it.

A small town vibe with big city amenities... - 8/24/2020

There is so much about this place to love! The people, the extraordinary access to outdoor recreation and everything in between. There's plenty to do and see, it's also super business friendly and full of opportunity. If you're looking for a community that will welcome your family, this is it!

Never say never - 8/16/2020

I grew up in Casper and remember complaining how little there was to do. I swore that I would never live in Wyoming again. After living in Montana, Arizona, Upstate New York and then Denver CO, I have come to appreciate my hometown more than I ever thought. In Denver there is no shortage of entertainment but what it lacked was people. With a population over 3 million that says a lot. When my now wife and I started looking to get married and make a home, we knew it wouldn’t be anywhere other that Casper. We wanted to be somewhere a neighbor actually knew your name. Neighbor kids ride bikes together and you know the parents of every one of them. We found people again you could have a drink with and share life with. Beyond that, the miles of trails, the 5 tail waters within 2.5 hours, countless lakes, camping and general adventure make Casper an ideal place to raise and be a family. Though we get a little more than our fair share of wind, this town is by far the best I have lived in.

Great place to raise a family - 5/21/2020

I grew up in Casper and moved away after high school for 5 years and I knew I would never raise my children any where but Casper. We have amazing schools, plenty to do both inside and outside all within 30 minutes of the city. Our family enjoys the 4 amazing golf courses, Alcova Lake which is a short 35 minute drive and has great amenities and of course the mountains which are literally out the back door. The restaurants in Casper are exceptional and the variety is growing. With the addition of the Art Walk and Rock the Block, David St. Station and the revamped Old Yellowstone District there is something for every age. Casper has that big city feel with the small town kindness and generousity.

At the Heart of the Western U.S. National Parks - 5/19/2020

I grew up in the nice suburbs of Ohio, moved to Salt Lake Valley, had a family, and moved to Casper two years ago. Of the places I've lived, I've never been so impressed with a place to raise children. The schools, hiking trails, community, and being in the heart of the western US national parks makes this place amazing. What an advantage to be able to be a weekend trip away from visiting Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Lived in the area for 12 years, and love it. - 5/16/2020

My family and I have lived in the Casper area for 12 years. There is so much that we enjoy about the area. From its fabulous parks for kids to play at, to the Platte River Trail which is wonderful for running, you can always find something to do outside while staying in town. Casper mountain offers year-round activities that we can ALL participate in. My family hikes and picnics in the warm weather and snowshoes and cross country skies in the winter. Edness Kimbal state park and Alcova offer water activities like kayaking and paddle boarding...and Alcova has overnight camping and boat renting at the marina. The downtown has been reinvigorated with outdoor concerts, bars and places to eat at for date night or you can comfortably take the kids. The Casper Events center brings concerts and programs to town to keep things exciting. The multiple museums (including the Science Zone Children's Museum) offer cold-weather entertainment without breaking the bank. Mix in rodeos, fairs, the college, hunting, fishing and the kindness of Wyoming's people and you can see why we have no plans to leave.

Casper WyHOMEing! A few reasons I am proud to live - 5/12/2020

I first moved to Casper in 1989 to attend Casper College. Previously I lived in Buffalo for a short period of time and before that Paris, Texas. I LOVE Casper for so many reasons. #1 the people here are genuinely amazing. Caring, generous, honest, helpful, hardworking and resilient. I challenge you to try to find a more giving community than Casper Wyoming. #2 the amenities! Outdoor recreation, cultural experiences, community events, and amazing restaurants. #3 close proximity - You are no more than 20 minutes to work, school, recreation (lake, hiking, skiing in the winter) #4 - small town vibe. With population of less than 60,000 people you run into a friendly face when out and about. #5 - Wyoming's beauty and natural wonders within a few minute to a few hours drive.

Great family-friendly town with lots to do - 5/11/2020

Casper has many things to do any time of the year. Our family loves living in Casper. There is so much to do and we feel very safe living here. Our tight-knit community supports each other and are always welcoming. We love all of the amenities offered here and hanging out in our vibrant downtown area. In the past few years, Downtown Casper has really flourished with the addition of David Street Station and more restaurants, bars, and shops. This means that there are outdoor events throughout the summer including concerts, movies, and festivals. With the mountain, river, and reservoirs within 30-45 minutes from our house, we can sneak away to the outdoors any time of the year when we need to have some space. There is so much to love about Casper for families, young professionals, entrepreneurs, and established careers.

Small town feel with City amenities! - 5/11/2020

I am originally from Casper but moved away for several years to explore other places. I live here now with my young family and we're proud to call Casper HOME. I love raising our family here as it has everything we need. Safety, opportunity, wide open spaces, small town feel with access to big city amenities. We love the outdoors and Casper offers everything to keep us active all year long. I own a business and have been incredibly pleased with the entrepreneurial opportunities here.

Big City Amenities with Small-Town Vibes - 5/3/2020

I moved to Casper, Wy 8 years ago. When I first moved here, I was surprised by all the big city amenities and how it blends perfectly with a small-town vibe. My commute went from 3 hours to and from work to 15 mins. I have more time to do the things I love to do.

Wonderful, Family-Focused Community - 5/1/2020

Casper is a wonderful community with big city amenities and a small town feel. There is never a shortage of things to do with community events, museums and so many outdoor recreation opportunities just minutes from our door. The community is safe and beautiful, and a great place to raise a family.

Bad Weather - 11/27/2018

This review will be a bit opinionated. The main thing for me is the weather. I hate it. I like cloudy, rainy, foggy, snowy, colder weather, so keep that in mind. Casper is too sunny. This is what I mean: we'll get a cloudy, snowy day. The next day will be sunny and you basically go blind if you look down because the snow reflects the sunlight. We really don't get enough rain. Barely any rain. Being out on the prarie, the wind is INSANE. It sucks. On a nice cool day, the wind starts blowing and it's miserable. The summers are HOT. Not compared to like Pheonix, but many days are in the 90s and clear and sunny. There's like no trees outside of town, which sucks (besides Casper Mountain, more on that later). There's also a bit of a meth problem... On the bright side, there are usually nice summer outdoor activites. There are also lots of movie theaters Casper mountain is partially forested and is usually about 10-15 degrees cooler than in town. Also, I won't judge political views but just so you know, this town is very conservative.

Horrible place to live - 3/2/2017

After living in Ft Collins CO, Casper is truly a dump. I looked for a house for 12 months and for what you pay Casper housing is like low income housing in your average city. 75% of Caspers neighborhoods look like low income housing. The majority of residents have no pride of ownership. Many yards have no grass but weeds, people trash their property with junk. I realize this is not nice to say but the majority of Casper neighborhoods are like white trash. And it's expensive. Housing prices are high in Casper especially for what you get. Looks like at one time Casper boomed and all that was built was cheap box houses. The side walks in Casper are in terrible shape. The city must of used poor concrete at one time as the majority of the residential side walks are heavily cracked and crumbling. Caspers problem is several areas of town is built on a clay/dirt composite and it shifts a lot so beware of foundations if you buy. The wind blows 25+ mph on a average most days and in the winter 3-4 days a week it will blow 40 mph+. Several times on the outer edge of Casper you will get 70+ winds. If you enjoy any kind of outdoor sports avoid Casper at all costs. And Casper does not cater to any kind of outdoor sports except youth sports. I realize I am very critical of Casper but I am writing the truth. If you don't care about outdoor activities and wind you might not mind it. Casper just seems 30 years behind from other places I've lived and that even includes western South Dakota. Casper is the arm pit of Wyoming. Check it out thoroughly before you move there
