It's not often that a museum possesses the impressive scale and multi-dimensional impact that the Fort Caspar Museum does. This museum defies the conventional concept of a museum as it is a collection of reconstructed buildings on the original location of Platte Bridge Station and Louis Guinard's Platte Bridge. These structures amazingly replicate their original appearance, and in addition to this stunning display, the museum also features various cultural and natural history exhibits of Central Wyoming.
Take the plunge with the whole family to enjoy water recreation at the Casper Family Aquatic Center. This is a great way for the kids (and mom and dad) to get some great exercise while making a big splash! The hours for the pool are seasonal so please check the website before you go.
