Many quality book titles were available for sale to peek even the youngest child's interest. However, the planetarium show was not what I was expecting. It seemed a little outdated. With the openness of the WY sky and what Casper has to offer, an expansion or remodel would make the Casper Planetarium a great asset.

Young kids running place. They are very rude and disrespectful. Hunter asked me not to say his name…read moreout loud because he didn't want people to know his name. He had a hard time explaining the policies and seemed to get very frustrated every time I asked for clarification. He clearly was in over his head. I would hope that when employing someone that is uncomfortable with the job, they would have an adult supervisor. My visit was chaotic and I felt like I was constantly getting scolded by the young man that was of high school age.

The hubs and I stopped in as a bit of a pit stop on our way towards Yellowstone. We love a good…read moremuseum and this did not disappoint. Small enough to wrap your hands around but packed with really good information. There is also an interactive "river crossing" where you are in a wagon and it moves a bit to simulate crossing a river. Really unique and i appreciated the experience. The employees were also exceedingly friendly and went out of their way to engage with us, teach us what they found interesting and gave a nice restaurant recommendation to boot. Definitely add this to a trip to Casper.

If you are passing through Capser, the museum of the trails is a FREE must do stop…read more Firstly, the views from the parking lot and entrance are spectacular of Casper and the Casper MT. Secondly, its free! Clean rest rooms and lots of historic information about Casper and the local areas. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about all the local history. You'll learn about the migrants on the Oregon Trail, (yes the video game is based on a true story) Farmers going to Oregon, Gold miners going to Sacramento and San Fran, (the original 49ers) and the Mormoms going through to SLC. There are interesting exhibits, videos and a large auditorium show of life on the trail, which is really rather informative. The museum covers trails before the migrants, settlers moving across US and the progress of the Pony Express, Telegraph and Railroads. The museum has a few neat simulators for kids such as riding a prairie cart through the river. Sitting in a Wells Fargo stage coach and even experience how it was to pull a 150lb hand cart through the 1000 miles of wilderness. Definitely worth your time, can be done in 1 hour, most likely take 2.

They have a nice collection of Native objects. Some of the labels were a little faded and could be refreshed. I enjoyed learning about the history of Casper. The museum was very clean. There are some recreated fort buildings you can walk outside and view too. It would have been nice to not have had to hear the museum staff complaining about COVID protocols - made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I get it, having to work with the public in this time is a challenge but wait until the guests leave to complain! Otherwise, everything was nice and I would recommend stopping.

We were blessed with our docent who has been there for 25 years -since the beginning! Such knowledge, enthusiasm and entertaining to boot! We learned all about a variety of dinosaurs that were found around Glenrock. They have even named the dinosaurs in the museum, if you can remember who is who, you can win a prize! Very much worth the stop. Everyone gets a personal tour. We arrived a little late in the day and they stayed overtime to show us the preparation room where thell paleontologists and volunteers piece together the dinosaurs bones like a puzzle!

It is unassuming from the outside but once you step in, it is clear there was a good amount of thought and effort put into the museum. Tate is a great place for people that are newer to geology and all it entails as they put very informative and beginner-friendly information and displays up. There is a good amount of neat things to buy in the gift shop as well. If you're into geology, I would highly recommend visiting here!

This is an excellent program for children. My own children have been involved since they were 4…read moreyears old, and have gained so much from it. Not only do they now, as teenagers, have an appreciation for theater, but they have also learned to be comfortable in front of an audience and can actually speak in public without a problem. They have made many wonderful friends from this program, and have found a place where they feel they belong. In such a sports-oriented, competitive society, I think this is a great program for any child.
